On Monday’s show, The View panel welcomed comedian Roy Wood Jr. to the show.
Ana Navarro asked the guest if he thought President Joe Biden did the right thing by taking the issue of age and turning it into humor.
Whoopi then spoke up and said that “age gives you the insight on how to deal with all the stuff you have dealt with for 80 years, coming at you.”
They continued on with the discussion for a few more seconds before the camera panned back to Whoopi.
“Oh,” she said, looking into the camera. “You know what?”
“I was going to say, ‘It’s time for you to go’,” Whoopi said, pointing to herself.
“But apparently, it’s not. It’s time for you to stay.”
“I get two segments?” Roy asked, looking around at the panel.

“You get two!” the moderator confirmed. “We’ll be right back.”
The panel laughed as the show cut to commercial.
WOAH WHOOPI!
This is not the first time Whoopi has been cut off by a commercial break.
Last Tuesday, Whoopi delivered a personal message to fans at the end of the show before being cut off by the last commercial break.
Right before Whoopi gave the outro, they showed clips of who would be on the show the following day.
Whoopi was laughing when the camera panned back to her.
“Yeah. Ana said it all,” she said, seemingly referring to her co-host, Ana Navarro.
“But, we want all of you to know that we are thrilled that you came. We’re thrilled that you watched and we will be here tomorrow.”
The View host continued: “We want you to have a good day. Take a little time to enjoy-.”
Whoopi got cut off there as the show ended and went to a commercial.
Usually she says: “Take a little time to enjoy The View,” and then gives a goodbye.
SOUNDS OF CONFUSION
In March, View fans were confused over a live blunder during Whoopi’s speech.
On March 20th, Whoopi, 67, commenced her segment about working and socializing with others through Zoom.
The star said: “The New York Times talked to people who said they are a little nostalgic over it.”
In the middle of her speech, the moderator’s audio was cut off by the sounds of applause.
Whoopi’s audio quickly returned after the gaffe.
She went on: “They claimed they miss the creative ways people kept in connection with family and friends, like virtual happy hours and trivia nights.”
Confused viewers jumped online after they spotted the awkward blunder during Whoopi’s segment.
One person said: “So the clapping we hear isn’t real.
“Someone pushed the clapping sound while Whoopi was speaking.”
“Oops. The View- was that extra clapping inserted accidentally?
“The late onset applause sounded unconvincingly raucous.”
A third viewer mentioned: “They accidentally played the applause track while Whoopi was talking!”
“Not any applause for real…” one added.
