Sara Haines walks off “The View” shot after Whoopi Goldberg reveals 'I like to be eaten from time to time' on 69th birthday

During the episode dedicated to celebrating Whoopi Goldberg's birthday, the iconic Wind Machine of Chaos made a grand and triumphant return, accompanied by an imposing Wheel of Cheese Monstrosity prominently featuring her visage. With pride and grandeur, Whoopi Goldberg stood before this monumental cheese adorned with her own likeness, making a remarkable revelation on The View. On this significant milestone of her 69th birthday, celebrated amidst the familiar confines of the long-standing talk show, the Oscar-winning actress aptly unveiled her penchant for indulging in extraordinarily specific oral delights—a disclosure that prompted cohost Sara Haines to hilariously feign astonishment and exit the set in mock disbelief, a moment captured amusingly in the video above.

"I've always dreamed of seeing my face on cheese," Haines remarked during a segment where Goldberg was listing her favorite products to mark her special day, amidst a playful cycle on a bicycle. Goldberg replied, "I enjoy being savored occasionally," as Haines pretended to be stunned by her colleague's confession and pretended to storm off the set. The studio audience erupted in laughter and applause, while Haines soon returned to give Goldberg a warm hug.

"Never mind that," Goldberg continued. "This is an authentic Parmigiano Reggiano wheel from Italy, aged to perfection for 24 months, a testament to Italian heritage and excellence."

Elsewhere in her birthday episode, Goldberg once again braved the wind machine, selecting a lucky audience member to share in her joyous celebrations. The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on ABC. Watch the clip above to see Goldberg playfully admit her liking for "being savored."
