Daytime television just got a nuclear plot twist. In a move nobody saw coming (but everybody secretly craved), ABC has officially kicked Whoopi Goldberg off The View after her less-than-heavenly remarks about the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
The words from network brass were short and brutal: “You’re fired indefinitely.”
Translation? Don’t bother cleaning out your dressing room, Whoopi — the hens have pecked their last.
The “Angel Gate” Scandal
The drama unfolded during a routine Monday episode of The View. As the panel solemnly discussed Kirk’s sudden death, Whoopi allegedly rolled her eyes so hard they nearly spun like slot machine reels. Then came the now-infamous mutter under her breath:
“Charlie Kirk? If heaven’s got him, those angels better invest in earplugs.”
The audience gasped like someone had just spoiled the ending of Yellowstone. Even Joy Behar looked rattled — and Joy once made a 14-minute fart joke live on air without blinking.
Producers cut to commercial, but the damage was done. Within hours, Whoopi’s comments were trending online under hashtags like #AngelGate, #CancelWhoopi, and the more niche #KirkInTheClouds.
ABC Drops the Hammer
ABC executives, reportedly sick of Goldberg’s “never-ending sighs and unsolicited lectures,” acted swiftly. One insider claimed the boardroom decision took under seven minutes.
“They didn’t even pass around the bagels this time,” whispered the source. “It was just: ‘Whoopi’s out, Charlie’s in.’ End of story.”
The official statement pulled no punches:
“While The View allows spirited debate, disrespecting the memory of Charlie Kirk, America’s most recent conservative martyr, is simply unacceptable. Effective immediately, Whoopi Goldberg has been fired indefinitely. Our hens must not peck at patriots.”
Whoopi Responds: “Good Riddance”
Goldberg, caught outside the studio in her slippers, gave reporters her trademark mix of sass and indifference.
“Indefinitely? Honey, I’ve been indefinitely done with this show since 2015. You think I like waking up at 6 a.m. to argue with Joy Behar about TikTok bans? Please.”
Lighting a cigarette, she added: “If the angels are upset with me, let them sue. I’ve had worse critics — mostly Meghan McCain.”
Conservatives Rejoice
Conservative America, meanwhile, is throwing a parade. Fox News declared it “the greatest cultural victory since Bud Light surrendered.”
Donald Trump himself posted on Truth Social:
“WHOOPI IS GONE! Terrible ratings, even worse attitude. Fired Indefinitely (my favorite kind of firing). Maybe they replace her with ME? I’d do better than her and Joy Behar COMBINED. People are saying it. Huge!”
Turning Point USA announced plans for a celebratory gala titled Heavenly Ratings: A Tribute to Charlie Kirk, where guests will reportedly drink red, white, and blue Jell-O shots while watching clips of Whoopi being escorted out of the studio.
Liberals Roll Their Eyes
Not everyone was cheering. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: “Imagine living in a world where Whoopi Goldberg loses her job over Charlie Kirk, but George Santos can still show up to brunch in peace.”
Late-night hosts piled on, too. Seth Meyers quipped: “Whoopi Goldberg fired indefinitely? What does that mean, exactly? Like she’s grounded until further notice? Does she have to hand in her moderator card?”
What Happens to The View?
With Goldberg gone, ABC is scrambling for a replacement. Rumors are flying faster than Joy Behar’s one-liners. Possible contenders include:
-
Candace Cameron Bure — producers think her Hallmark smile could “balance out the toxicity.”
-
Tucker Carlson — to bring a “fresh, shirtless perspective.”
-
A holographic Charlie Kirk — because why not cash in on the sainthood vibes while they’re hot?
-
An actual chicken — one executive allegedly said, “At least it won’t interrupt Sunny Hostin every 12 seconds.”
Joy Behar, meanwhile, is said to be privately furious. “They can’t replace Whoopi with some Republican stiff. If they try it, I’ll fake a fainting spell every episode until they beg me to stop.”
Audience Meltdown
The show’s live audience, mostly retirees and suburban moms, is reeling.
-
“I came for Whoopi’s eye rolls, not Charlie Kirk sermons,” said one teary fan.
-
“They should just rename it Fox & Friends: Daycare Edition,” muttered another.
-
A confused tourist leaving the studio asked: “Wait, is Whoopi the nun from Sister Act? I thought she already quit.”
Online, the memes came flooding in. One viral image showed Whoopi being photoshopped into Trump’s “You’re Fired” meme, while another depicted Kirk ascending into heaven with the caption: “Even angels need Turning Point USA.”
Whoopi’s Next Move
Far from devastated, Goldberg appears to be plotting her comeback. Reports suggest she’s pitching a podcast called Whoopi Without Filters, where every episode ends with her muttering, “This is why I hate daytime TV.”
Netflix is allegedly interested in a comedy special titled Indefinitely Fired: The Whoopi Goldberg Story, in which she reenacts The View arguments with sock puppets.
When asked what she’ll miss most about The View, Whoopi didn’t hesitate: “Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, maybe the free snacks. But that’s it.”
Closing Thoughts
Whoopi Goldberg’s indefinite firing is the latest twist in America’s culture war soap opera, proving that daytime TV is less about coffee and conversation and more about political landmines.
Will The View survive without its eye-rolling queen? Or will it collapse into a chaotic clucking pen without Whoopi to keep the hens in line?
One ABC exec summed it up best: “At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if we fire Whoopi, cancel Joy, or resurrect Charlie Kirk via hologram. As long as people keep doom-scrolling and arguing on Twitter, we’ll get the ratings. And really, isn’t that what daytime TV is all about?”
Until then, Whoopi Goldberg remains indefinitely fired — which, in the world of television, is basically code for “see you on Netflix in six months.”
NOTE: This is SATIRE, It’s Not True.
