Whoopi Goldberg — The View’s resident faux fainter — has once again collapsed at the Hot Topics table.
Nearly a year after she fell forward (and dedicated the stunt to Entertainment Weekly), the 70-year-old EGOT winner lowered her head to the table Tuesday morning after cohost Joy Behar discussed having sex in a car.
“You’re more of a backseat girl, Joy,” Sara Haines said during a discussion about parents allowing their children to engage in illicit activities at home — unknowingly laying the foundation for what would be Goldberg’s latest collapsing stunt on the program.

Behar replied, “When I was doing it in a car, they didn’t have bucket seats, they had just a seat,” the 84-year-old comedian explained.
Goldberg then slowly lowered her head to the Hot Topics table as the audience chuckled at Behar’s remarks about getting frisky in an automobile.
“Those bucket seats ruined it for everybody,” Behar continued as the crowd laughed.
A wide shot showed Goldberg’s head resting face down on the table for several seconds as the conversation continued around her.
“At least you know they’re there,” Behar explained of her position after noting that she might let teens have sex in her home if she were present. “I’m not hearing it. I don’t know what they’re doing. Go enjoy!”
While Goldberg hasn’t collapsed on the show in months, her latest display continues a yearslong trend of the actress throwing her body around the set to feign unconsciousness.

In the past, Goldberg typically pulled the maneuver to protest Hot Topics she didn’t want to engage with.
Various discussions have contributed to Goldberg careening herself out of consciousness in the workplace, including a discussion about the divorce of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, issues related to President Donald Trump, and even the cohosts’ analysis of of the Real Housewives franchise.
In a particularly rousing display of her Academy Award-winning chops, Goldberg also once stood up from — and later collapsed — in a stunning June 2025 moment when the hosts conversed about Sean “Diddy” Combs.
