'The View' Is Making A Big Change Before Returning To The TV Schedule, But Whoopi Goldberg Is Allegedly Not Happy About It

An EGOT-winning comedian who’s known for delivering Oscar-worthy dramatic roles on the big screen, Whoopi Goldberg is far more commonly known for bringing a completely different kind of drama to TV audiences via "The View." The oft-political chat show’s hiatus from the 2024 TV schedule is busier than the traditional summer break, as the long-running ABC hit will be filming in a brand new studio when it returns in September. But its moderator reportedly isn’t so pleased with the new digs. At least, it’s alleged that Goldberg was upset over her own personal set up at the new studio located in downtown Manhattan. For all that this “brand-new” location is “state of the art,” as Sunny Hostin put it in the video announcement, the architects and designers apparently didn’t put enough thought into dressing room bathrooms. According to The Sun, the Ghost vet is highly displeased about having to shift into a new dressing room that doesn’t have the same accommodations she’d grown accustomed to previously.
