When it comes to getting warm about current events, political or pop culture, “The View” takes home the price.

Just last week, Whoopi Goldberg walked offstage during a heated Miranda Lambert debate. So on “The View,” anything can happen.

On November 13 taping of the popular talkshow, Goldberg put a flip to the “anything can happen” on “The View” when she disrupted the program’s normal running schedule to celebrate her 68th birthday.

Co-hosts Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro were beautifully surprised when Goldberg started handing out gifts to all the women at a time when they should be knee-deep discussing about pop culture trends and current events.

“I feel lucky to have lived to this age,” Goldberg emotionally said, adding, “I’ve outlived my brother—I’m older than my brother was. I just feel like I should celebrate and have a good time for all those folks who didn’t get to get here!”
