As if 2023 couldn’t get any crazier, it appears that “The Conners” has decided to cancel Whoopi Goldberg’s highly anticipated guest appearance on the show.
According to sources close to the production, Goldberg’s presence was deemed too risky and likely to drive down ratings.
“We were really excited to have Whoopi on board, but as we started to think about it more, we realized that her appearance could be problematic,” said one insider.
“We don’t want to alienate any of our viewers, and we feel like Whoopi might not be a good fit for our audience.”
The decision to cancel Goldberg’s guest spot has caused quite a stir online, with many fans of the show expressing their disappointment and frustration.
Some have even accused the producers of caving to pressure from conservative groups who may have taken issue with Goldberg’s outspoken views.
For her part, Goldberg seems unfazed by the cancellation. In a statement released to the press, she said, “I’m disappointed that I won’t be appearing on ‘The Conners,’ but I understand that these things happen. I wish them all the best and look forward to working with them in the future.”
Despite the controversy, “The Conners” remains one of the most popular sitcoms on television, and fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming season.
Whether or not Goldberg’s absence will have a significant impact on the show’s ratings remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: this is a story that will continue to generate headlines for weeks to come.
