The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Criticizes Major Movie Star

Whoopi Goldberg is no stranger to bold moments on The View, but her latest move might be one of her most unforgettable. The legendary actress and talk show host recently called out a Hollywood icon who was trying to keep a low profile in the studio audience.

As longtime viewers know, The View is more than just a platform for its co-hosts to share their opinions—it’s also a stage for high-profile guests from politics, entertainment, and beyond.

Recently, the show welcomed actors Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, who appeared to promote their latest film, The Friend. They weren’t alone, though. A Great Dane named Bing, also a star of the film, made an impression of his own—particularly on Joy Behar, who couldn’t help but notice the dog’s… well, impressive presence.

Whoopi Goldberg’s Surprise Call-Out

During another recent episode, Broadway star LaTanya Richardson Jackson joined the panel. Fans instantly recognized her not just for her impressive career, but also as the wife of Hollywood legend Samuel L. Jackson.

Whoopi, sensing something was up, suspected the Pulp Fiction star was nearby. When LaTanya hinted that her husband was somewhere in the studio audience, Goldberg took it upon herself to investigate.

Determined, she left her seat and scanned the crowd, eventually locking eyes with Jackson. Without missing a beat, she pointed and declared, “I see you—too late, man.”

Her mission wasn’t just to expose him—she made sure the Marvel star joined the panel, pulling him up on stage in an impromptu moment that had the audience cheering.

It’s not every day that a Hollywood giant like Samuel L. Jackson is casually sitting in the audience, so Whoopi wasn’t about to let the opportunity pass her by.

Even as The View’s staff rushed to add a chair for him, Joy Behar humorously reminded everyone that this was LaTanya’s time to shine.

Jackson, ever the gentleman, soon returned to his seat, allowing his wife to remain the center of attention.

A Love Story That Stands the Test of Time

In a world where Hollywood relationships often come and go, Samuel L. Jackson and LaTanya Richardson Jackson are a testament to lasting love.

Married since 1980, the couple has shared over four decades together, raising their daughter, born in 1982, and supporting each other’s careers.

Jackson’s ascent to fame did not happen overnight. Even though he is now among the most well-known performers in the world, it wasn’t until 1991 that he played Gator in Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever that he had his big break.

His career-defining role as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction, which solidified his position in movie history, was made possible by that performance.

Long before he became well-known, LaTanya was there for him through the good times and the bad, providing constant support.

Moments like this one on The View only serve to highlight their close relationship, and their love and dedication never cease to inspire. It is understandable why viewers—and The View ladies—love to commemorate their long-standing collaboration.
