On November 13, 2025, Whoopi Goldberg, the host of The View, celebrated her 70th birthday on the show. Although her co-host Joy Behar was not present for the milestone occasion, she still found a way to honor Goldberg by sending over a homemade lasagna as a birthday gift.
As Goldberg walked out to on-screen confetti and a giant display reading "Happy birthday Whoopi," her co-hosts, including Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, presented her with the special delivery from Behar. Hostin explained that Behar had been "home baking" and wanted Goldberg to "please enjoy it before the cost of tariffs hit."
During the birthday segment, Goldberg danced to the Staple Singers' 1972 hit "Respect Yourself," which she revealed was her "mantra these days" as she entered a new decade. Goldberg also extended a birthday greeting to her granddaughter, Amara, who turned 36 on the same day.
Despite Behar's absence, the show's co-hosts ensured that Goldberg's 70th birthday was celebrated with warmth and thoughtfulness, with the homemade lasagna serving as a touching gesture from her longtime colleague.
