"Bits and Pieces" of Whoopi Goldberg
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 05. 2024
- At 68 years old, and after about 100 films and 16 seasons on "The View," Whoopi Goldberg thinks there's still part of her you do not know. She's penned a memoir, "Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me," which she calls a "thank you" to her late mother, Emma, and late brother, Clyde. Goldberg talks with correspondent Seth Doane about her remarkable path, from a housing project in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, to a retreat overlooking a peninsula on the island of Sardinia.

from the Chelsea projects to her own Peninsula in Sardinia. Girl you did GOOD!
Watching "The Color Purple" I could never absorb the tag line of Ceily being "ugly." When "Ms. Goldberg" smiles, to me it's like a beacon of affirmative light that commands the witness to smile back. I have enjoyed her creative performatives from a stand-up comedian to a hard working cop, resistant medium, singer witness hiding in a convent, host of the Oscars Award Show and clear speaking cohost of "The View." She has provided much to celebrate and will provide more to celebrate because God is in the habit of letting His light shine through His children. I am so very PROUD of Ms. Johnson/Goldberg and feel blessed that she shares!
I HATE that line. Wish it had never been added. Even though it is fiction, I couldn't get with Shug even after she made up with Celie.
Should have won the Oscar for The Color Purple!
Definitely should not have! I remember Trip to Bountiful! I don’t remember anything about Color Purple
@@misskitty1666 sorry kitty I do and feel she should had received that Oscar. You have your opinion I have mine. You have a great evening.
Totally agree, unfortunately that movie was snubbed from all categories. I felt her performance in the Color Purple was stronger than Ghost.
@@misskitty1666 Just because you don’t remember anything about The Color Purple doesn’t mean Whoopi didn’t deserve the Oscar. I remember Geraldine Page’s performance in the Trip to Bountiful & Whoopi’s in The Color Purple and both were amazing, but I believe Whoopi deserved the statue. But you’re entitled to your opinion despite what I or anyone else thinks and you should be able to share it on the internet without being told it’s not valid by some stranger who doesn’t remember the Trip to Bountiful as you just did in your comment about The Color Purple. It’s not hard- just be nice.
@@misskitty1666perhaps you felt it was a black movie and that’s what turned you off? Yes, it was an entire black cast about black women, but it was a wonderfully written story made into a fantastic movie. Watch it tonight, I’d love to hear what you think about it now that you know it exists
She’s long overdue for her Kennedy center honors for her unparalleled contributions to comedy and entertainment for decades. She’s an EGOT winner btw
She should have won an Oscar for the Color Purple also.
💯%
And she should have been in Oprah Movie to
That part!!
Hollywood was too upset with Steven Spielberg to give anyone on the cast any awards. He helped inspire a black movie, and Hollywood wasn't having it.
@@vt-yp7yqit didn’t have anything to do with Spielberg. At the time, black people weren’t winning Oscars except for every 20 years. And they certainly weren’t winning lead actor Oscars except for Sidney Poitier. In the 90 years of Oscars, only one black woman has won a lead award. It’s all racism.
Ghost will forever be a classic and Whoopi will forever be a legend no matter of our political differences.
You know what? You're absolutely right. I sometimes watch her on 'The View' and want to scream at her... and the rest there, of course. But aside from our political differences- I just saw 'Ghost' for the first time ever and she was absolutely wonderful in it. Now I'm going to watch Sister Act, haha.
I Love Whoopi because she’s so DAMN REAL!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sure did!
A real fool.
She is so relatable. Whenever she speaks, I listen wholeheartedly. She speaks to us - that's for sure, no matter where you're from or who you are. She's real.
@@LisaLisa-2023 Yesssss!
What? Goldberg isn't even her real name.
Congratulations, Ms. Whoopi, you deserve it all. I hope your book becomes a best seller.
Whoopi really should have a Kennedy Center Honor!
and a lifetime achievement
Most Definitely.
Everyone needs a quiet place to gather our thoughts.
Yes! The world is just too busy.
Lol, a private water view on the coast of Itay does help
@@QuangNguyen-ng5zh It's on the Autonomous Region of Sardinia
Listening to the book read by Whoopi.
Love It!
Whoopi Goldberg was the star in a small performance art scene in San Diego in 1981. I was in a small up and coming performance art group. I saw a number of her shows. I worked as a waitress in a music club to pay the rent so I got home by 3 am. A couple of times a week I’d shuffle around the corner to a small diner for breakfast and Karen Johnson was in there having her breakfast. Cause I’m from SF, I learned to give space to entertainers eating, so I never said too much more than good morning (yea, it was usually around noon ). In San Diego we got to see her work on a show that she moved to Berkeley to flesh out and polish and suddenly she was famous. She was so talented we all knew she’d be a star!
I have so much respect for this beautiful intelligent woman. I love her and admire her realness. ❤😊
Love Ms. Whoopi Goldberg!!! One of the greatest........................❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I totally agree, she should have won an Oscar for the Color Purple. I met had once and she was wonderful. May all your projects be successful. Love you Whoopi 💜💜💜
She reminds me of a smart and witty auntie. Love her work 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
I feel the same way.
Great story🎉Thanks🎉
I have always loved myself some Whoopi. Jumping Jack Flash was one of my favorite movies has a kid. Still think she should have won an Oscar for "The Color Purple" 💜. What a Stellar Human Being. 🙏🏽💫 👑
💯%. Pitch perfect performance, classic.❤
I love seeing these pictures of young Whoopi ❤
Loved the interview. Whoopi, is an amazing actress! Knowledgeable, on a lot of subjects!
The cnn interview with Anderson cooper was an awesome interview ❤!
I LOVE THIS KINDA PEACE AND SERENITY
We grew up in the same building, and attended the same grammar school. I am older by 4 years, and do not have a home on a Sardinia peninsula.
good on her!!! love to see women happy and enjoying life.
I once saw Whoopie in a movie where she was the only character, a woman alone who was being terrorized by someone over the phone. She was phenomenal! Her mother comes across as a really smart woman. So glad for Whoopi that she had that. I say, "Just park it out on that peninsula, Girl, and soak it up for as long as you can!" (I wouldn't even care about the house - just a seat on that patio would work for me! And, well...maybe a LITTLE white wine, lol!)😊😊😊
The movie you're referring to is _The Telephone_ (1988), where Whoopi Goldberg plays a character named Vashti Blue. In the film, she's essentially the sole character, with the story revolving around her character's interactions via telephone.
Fell in love with Whoopi in 1985 watching her one woman show on HBO. Almost 40 years later I feel exactly the same.
And, as with Robin Williams, makes me laugh no matter how ,any times I watch it!😂🤣😂🤣❤️
This was one memorable show. Brilliant.
Me too. My son and I exchange quotes from that performance often.
@@mskimlouise My mother and I do the same 😊
Inspirational interview
Those eyes! I'll never forget her color purple performance
Should have mentioned "Comic Relief" with icons Billy Crystal & Robin Williams to assist the homeless
Yes! And also her role on Star Trek: TNG
I have always loved Whoopie. Her and I are about the same age. She says things I wish I could.
And she would tell you…you totally can say them too!
My great-mother, grandmother, aunt(my mother's sister), my mother.
They all taught me to speak my truth and never let other people tell me what I can do and what I can't do. In other words, I am very direct and people don't like it. Because they think I am being rude. It's important to always speak your mind and share your beliefs. Don't let anyone stifle your voice or make you feel like your opinions don't matter. Remember, your unique perspective is valuable and can help shape the world around you. So, go ahead and express yourself confidently and fearlessly. Your thoughts and beliefs are important, and they deserve to be heard.
I've always been a fan. Love you, Whoopi!!!
She's brilliant
I have always loved her. Brilliant woman.
❤😊 I love you, Whoopi Goldberg!
She can't even say what she really thinks. What a world we live in.
Sour sour sour… oh the green monster!
Find something you are passionate about, you will okay. Drink water too
Love it
For me growing up and until forever, Whoopi Goldberg and Eddy Murphy are the funniest man and woman on the planet and I thank them for the laughs over 37 years of life so far.
Always amazed at what is decided to leave in and out in a piece on a celebrity. No mention of the work she did with Robin Williams and Billy Crystal.
This was 8 minutes…and the book is about her mom and brother. I understand that she has other books and no doubt there are other interviews that get into her friendships with Robin and Billy and others…my guess is that the clip is from a longer piece because who sends a reporter to Italy for an eight minute interview?
I’ve been a fan of this lady since she was a nun, in the Sister Act movies, and when she was the “center square”, on my favorite game show, Hollywood Squares, with Tom Bergeron.
I miss that show.
Whoopi IS JUST AWESOME‼️🦂💖💛
I loved Whoopi in sister act
Whoopi Cushione. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 she’s so funny without even trying.
Kindred soul of mine. Love you, Whoop!
Her mom and her are twins!!!❤ love her❤
her comments were fine.
QUE BELLA ANA !! TE AMO !!💝🌹
Till this day I love this movie
🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
Love me some Whoopi!!!!! 💖✨
Ms. Whoopi, Thank you for always being True with your authenticity and compassion for others. I love your work, honesty and your style. God's Continued Blessings Bestowed Upon You and Your Beautiful Family. His Humbled Servant,
Did he say Paulahost comment?
We love some whoopi ❤
I think you are B E A U T I F U L❤❤❤
She's a living legend and yet she let's people like Sunny Hostin talk down to her on The View. Whoopi, you don't need that dumb show, go live however you want and let the bottom feeders keep keep feeding without you.
Great artist, beautiful actress. Can't stand the View, I don't know why she wastes her essence with that garbage, but I guess we all need "outlets" to 'speak out' on the state of the world. But Whoopi CONTINUES to be at her best when she's an artist, acting in AUTHENTIC productions, like Star Trek and Ghost. God Bless Ms. Goldberg, and perhaps "loneliness" isn't so lonely after all, when you love yourself FIRST.
Sardinia looks so amazing
It is. The Northeastern shores (Olbia, etc.) have white, sandy beaches while the beaches around Cagliari are rocky. Same with the Côte d'Azur. Nice has rocky shores and gorgeously blue water while Antibes & Cannes have white, sandy beaches but the water isn't as stunning in color. In Greece, Mykonos has white sandy beaches while Santorini has rocky beaches. Basically, the rocky beaches have stronger currents while the white sandy beaches are calmer and easier to swim in.
Love her ❤
Love Whoopi!
❤😊
Talk That
I actually think Whoopi is one of those rare humans who become more beautiful as they age. I’ve never seen her more beautiful! Maybe it’s the peace that comes with settling into who you are… whatever it is it’s working!!! Every time I see her I smile. What a blessing she’s given all of us. Thank you Whoopi for sharing your blessing with the world. 🙏🏼#always a fan
Totally agree! 🙌🙌🙌
Me too. Absolutely Beautiful and her skin has always been Flawless! 😍
I have been in LOVE with her ever since I saw her doing her stand up. She is one of the most beautiful person that I have ever seen in my life. 😊😊 YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND A GREAT PERSONALITY YOU ARE SOOOOO HONEST. THAT IS VERY RARE. LOVE YOU GG-MA ❤️ KEEP DOING WHAT ARE DOING.
Whoopie commands The View. It never reaches the point of descending into chaos with her in the corner. It is unbridled without her presence. We have some things in common, this thrice married woman. Even if the husbands had been honorable, marriage is not for me and I am happy as a single woman who makes her own choices and accepts the consequences without scorn or regret. I have always been a fan and consider her a role model for self-actualization.
The view never descends into chaos??
I love Whoopi
it’s very obvious that Whoopi's comment on the view was very accurate. Religious is not a race.
Whoopie is as real as it gets and I love her for that ❤
An icon and artist and thought leader. Love
patrick swayze is actually a little bit cute
I got to meet her at a book signing Whoopies big book of Manners. So glad U got to meet her!
love her or hate her, there’s no denying that she is an immensely talented human being. i always thought that taking that role on the view was beneath her. only in america does talent like hers go to waste in that way, smh
It gives her a platform for her leftist politics.
I love Italy and I love Whoopie ! ❤❤
Thank you for being you love you
Whoopi Goldberg ❤❤❤❤😍
A fantastic actress and fantastic lady...Lobe Whoopi...🥰
People give Whoopi a lot of crap but I think she just wants the best for others. She just seems like the most fun person to hang out with.
Whoopi.......i love........always
Loved Ghost. Love Whoopi Goldberg.
Fabulous lady, level headed bonus she can act.
Love her!
such a cute kid!
The world wasn’t the same before her, it won’t be the same after. ✨💜✨
I could have sworn for years it was reported that she got Goldberg as a stage name from her manager. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it being a last name from a long lost relative. Sounds like something you find out on that roots pbs special…
Love you, Whoopi Goldberg and may god keep blessing you ❤❤
I love this woman.
I love Whoopi. ☺️
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Whoopi Goldberg, a true National Treasure. That she has found Sardinia (my Mother´s island) as her second home and reprieve from the worries of the world warms my heart to no end.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
have always loved her, always will.
no mention of Ted Danson
You mean the tiny blip of time she dated him? He's insignificant to this interview.
Or how she defended him wearing blackface.
@@TaharkahX she's the one who encouraged him to wear black face that could have ended his career.
Whoopi looks so pretty ❤❤❤❤
Well I still say your beautiful person inside and out 😊
Love that for you, Whoopi .. take your bow, your time and your rest. You are so deserving. Thank you for all you have done for so many of us.❤
She’s the goat. I would love to hang out with her.
I adore her 🥰🥰🥰.
We love you Whoopi!
💪☮️
She's the best, an original.
I love Whoopi.
💞 XoXoXo 💞 Love you Whoopi !!! Thank you for your your life art 🌈🌈🌈
(remember the sister act scenes films at Page Temple COGIC in L.A. ? ,, with the glorious stained glass windows ✨)
On The View she has so much anger.
so nice whoopi you are such sweetheart you glow girl even at 68 you shines bright like a diamond ❤
