Whoopi Goldberg
The Eagle Himself
Description
<p>No, "EGOT" isn't a Tolkein or Star Wars character. In fact, EGOT status is far more rare, with fewer than a dozen winners of the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, AND Tony Awards to date, including this week's legend, the very funny, very pointed, and very bawdy Whoopi Goldberg. From an early one-woman tribute to Moms Mabley, to movies including The Color Purple, Ghost, and Sister Act, to a long run on ABC's The View, Whoopi has been a ubiquitous part of pop culture for nearly 50 years -- and she shows no signs of slowing down! As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows!</p> <p>Want more Whoopi?</p> <p>Since 2007, Whoopi has been part of the panel on ABC's daytime talk show The View. Her mouth has landed her in hot water a few times, but more often it lands on comedy gold. <a href='https://youtu.be/VRI5IMOCwnY?si=mzSde7lZU30_MewT&fbclid=IwAR0fVZ8qQgjQqBckTKi8YIPGMAMNz5tnn-LIViXRNCMNnUuhflVBEUCpcRY'>https://youtu.be/VRI5IMOCwnY?si=mzSde7lZU30_MewT</a></p> <p>Whoopi won her first Oscar playing a psychic in the hit movie Ghost. As an intermediary between Patrick Swayze and his still-alive girlfriend Demi Moore, Whoopi brought a perfect balance of sensitivity and sass to the role. <a href='https://youtu.be/oAb2_-uv41Y?si=Rr2tlkK1UtVMVdz5&fbclid=IwAR0Xj2WdeKYmymkTANEHU5Q4QqlMa4m4gSTQavIFZwSGxsdl8Y-19w4vjbg'>https://youtu.be/oAb2_-uv41Y?si=Rr2tlkK1UtVMVdz5</a></p> <p>Whoopi had a great run of hit movies in the 80s and 90s, none more beloved than Sister Act, a fish out of water classic in which Whoopi's "lounge singer on the run" gets placed by the Witness Protection Program into a convent. Here's Whoopi "freestyling" a mealtime blessing. <a href='https://youtu.be/-5lFiIvUZ_c?si=cj9zw1-MD1P3Pfac&fbclid=IwAR2z-n9VrdbshyBIxxIuynM3Sx_ImzMtcRpUUh3fa0YZzMLhoIvTAtvYfKo'>https://youtu.be/-5lFiIvUZ_c?si=cj9zw1-MD1P3Pfac</a></p>
