Whoopi Goldberg clashes with The View producer as she asks ‘what do you want?’

It is not the first time Whoopi Goldberg has clashed with someone while broadcasting live on-air during The View.

ABC viewers watched as Whoopi Goldberg clashed with a producer live on-air during Wednesday’s episode of The View. The pair appeared to awkwardly argue while the cameras were rolling as she firmly asked the crew member “what do you want?” after getting instructions in her earpiece.

Presenters Joy Behar, Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin were all voicing their opinion after critics said the weigh-ins “have no benefit”.

Whoopi said: “I listen to these parents talk about what children need and protecting kids, and then I watch folks just damn them!

“You know, they just damn the kids!”

She added: “And I don’t understand. And this, apparently, has nothing to do with anything because the information’s not going back to the Health Board of Education, it makes no sense.”

Sara, who is a mum-of-two, responded: “They also put soda machines and snack machines in schools and expect that kids are gonna not deal with obesity.

“They don’t take the comprehensive approach to teaching the kids, also presenting food options…”

Whoopi cut in as she said “And teaching parents…” before pausing live on-air.

She appeared to receive some instruction in her production earpiece.

Whoopi firmly said: “I’m sorry, what? Wait, hold on…”

Telling her co-hosts, she added: “Rob’s talking to me! What do you want Rob?”.

Singling out the production staff member, Sara added: “That’s all he ever says!”

Only earlier this month Whoopi paused the show to single someone else out, a member of the live studio audience.

Whoopi raised eyebrows after calling out an audience member in The View studio while presenting a segment about actor Michael B. Jordan.

She seemed to look at the audience member, sporting an “awkward grin” as she began to shake her head in what looked to be disappointment.
