After being interrupted six times by her co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg threw down a figurative flag when she tossed her cue cards on The View’s Hot Topics table. Following a lively discussion about Grand Slam Champion Serena Williams returning to Pro Tennis after nearly 4 years away, the hot topic turns into a spirited pickleball discussion. The long-standing queen of panel talk deliberated on the legendary tennis star returning to the game at the upcoming HSBC doubles event, amid people saying she is “too old to play.”
After discussing non-athletes' opinions on older elite athletes, Goldberg jokingly stated “let’s see what you're doing, how are you doing with pickleball?” This opened up the gates to the spicy conversation with her co-hosts. Goldberg attempted to make a point, but all four of her cohosts (Hostin, Haines, Navarro, and Griffin) kept interrupting her.

Ana Navarro cut in during the ongoing conversation, "I feel attacked here," after Goldberg kicked off the new talking point about whether or not pickleball is considered a serious sport. Goldberg attempted to make another point as panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin emphasized "it's harder than it looks."
Ana Navarro chimed in again with “Martina La Retanova says pickleball is tennis for physically challenged youth.” Once again, Goldberg tried to continue her thoughts, before each panelist interrupted her at one point or another, bringing the total up to six interruptions. As Navarro tries to speak again, "But, I say to you people..." Goldberg immediately shut her down this time.
Whoopi Goldberg was interrupted six times during a discussion about pickleball on The View.
Growing visibly frustrated, the Color Purple star eventually threw her cue cards on the table. "Listen, hush up! Let me finish so I can close the thing up!" Goldberg said, smiling as she threw her cue cards down on the Hot Topics table.
Navarro laughed as she predicted the interaction would make "headlines tomorrow," which she was correct!
The notable moment came after the co-host's multi-segment interview with guest Dr. Jill Biden, who promoted her book, View from the East Wing, and offered updates on her husband's health. They also wished her a happy birthday before asking questions about her life after being the first lady.
Earlier this year, hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Sara Haines made similar headlines after engaging in a slapping match live on air during an April 23, 2026, episode of The View. The interaction was ironically also six times, as the co-hosts playfully slapped each other a collective total of six times during a live interview with Justin Theroux and Kate Hudson.
