At the end of Thursday’s episode, the hosts were all wishing Sunny a happy birthday.
The entire cast and crew stood in front of a giant sparkling digital sign that flashed “Happy Birthday, Sunny!”
However, the lines on the show ended two minutes early as the camera continued to roll.
Producers asked Whoopi to continue talking to the end of the episode even though they had run out of content.
Whoopi snapped: “Forget you!” at the producer in the awkward moment.
She then followed up by saying: “Happy birthday, Sunny.”
SUNNY DAZED
Also on The View, Whoopi was recently slammed for interrupting Sunny and then correcting her as she was trying to make a point.

The female panelist was discussing the upcoming season of the hit Netflix show The Crown.
As they discussed the new season’s story lines, Sunny began to discuss how the production plans to handle the death of Princess Diana.
Although Sunny mistakenly gave her a different title.
“Some of the pushback they have been getting is about Lady Diana’s death because they are going to film it -” Sunny said, and then was immediately interrupted mid-sentence by Whoopi correcting her.
“Princess,” the 66-year-old comedian blurted out.
Sunny, clearly dazed, squinted her eyes, shook her head back and forth, and corrected herself, by saying “princess” before gathering herself up and continuing with her point.
WHOOPI’S WRATH
Just a few days earlier the Sister Act star savagely called out Sunny after believing the lawyer was shading her by making a rude face.
“I think you have to have a little more faith in people and they have made up their minds for a reason,” Whoopi said, referring to the upcoming elections.
As she continued to talk, the camera stayed on her, but she called out Sunny, who appeared to not be listening.
The View moderator asked: “Why are you looking at me like that?”
The camera panned to Sunny, who had a pout on her face and was looking down.
When the room got quiet, she looked up and asked: “Oh, who me?
“Yeah. Sometimes we get brain farts on the show. I just had one. Sorry, everyone.”
OH, CELL NO!
Other times, Sunny is her own worst enemy.
Last week during a heated discussion with the panelists, she interrupted the conversation as Whoopi and Alyssa butted heads over their political views.
In the midst of the battle, Sunny’s cell phone began to ring, directing Whoopi’s attention to the device sitting on the table.
“Hello, hello, hello,” Whoopi commented, looking at Sunny.
“See who it is,” Sunny pointed her screen at Whoopi, seated at the other end of the panel.
“Who is it? You know I can’t read -” the actress remarked, noting the phone’s distance.
“Gabriel Hostin,” Sunny replied, reading her son’s name on the screen.
The ladies didn’t seem to pay mind to Sunny’s phone call and returned to their debate.
Sunny looked embarrassed by her outburst as she quietly silenced her phone and turned it upside down in front of her.
