Graeme O'Neil takes a look at Whoopi Goldberg's opening night in "Annie" at Madison Square Garden, and "The View" co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin's reaction to the onstage production.

Just this week, I felt the need to school a younger person who clearly had no idea as to Whoopi's legacy outside _The View._ It's tragic that Whoopi needs to remind _anyone_ that she's a legend of American entertainment, an Oscar-winning actress, a beloved comedienne, and how she was a trailblazer for other black women in the entertainment industry, but that's what she _should_ be remembered as.

Well that's a misleading headline

[@JoshuaN55]

I know! Because I was about to say.

So inspired by Whoopi. Her talent is boundless and her career has spanned years. Literally, some of us grew up with her work and her voice in animated films, tv shows, and live action films, etc. She’s a national treasure in my book. It’s easy to take people for granted sometimes but I don’t think I’ll ever take her for granted. We’re lucky to have all these ladies, actually. But of course, our Whoopi.

Must be bots ....humans aren't that stupid

[@KCNwokoye]

Wow Ms. Whoopi killing it!

[@micksearle8172]

Literally 😂

[@billdanbury]

She has a gift. 🎁

[@billbill5326]

I loved Whoopi Goldberg long before I knew her political leaning. I still love her! 👏👏👏

[@bmarie216]

That’s good she landed this role.
She’s a good actress.

[@jayr3053]

I love Whoopi! Such a great actress!

[@limoreshakar6686]

Where was Ana N & or Sara her other dear friends/ BFFs 😂!!!

[@Defensewhiz]

Sara has tickets with her family at a later show...she said it in the View podcast this week. Not sure when Ana is going

Please don't leave the view love u

[@alberttrinidad1750]

Id rather take castor oil than watch Karen in Annie. Didnt she say she li es in Italy so where does she pay taxes. Normally ifs your place of residence. Ie New York

[@youryeuh]

That’s my girl

[@limoreshakar6686]

That is a clear 👎. However, I heard the girl who plays Annie has a good voice (has the chops) and look of Annie . So can be a nice one to check out … I am more for broadway musicals diff ones and for me the 🍿 80’s one with none other than Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan will suffice !

[@jonimerchant5954]

PLEASE go back to acting and leave The View

[@daviddixon1011]

Talented enough not to do The View!!!!

[@michaelbarrett3270]

Jesus said We all sin and fall short of the Glory of God. Only God is Good. Repent! The Greatest Commandment. Jesus said Love The Lord Thy God With All Your Heart Mind Soul Second Love Thy Neighbor As Yourself. Loving all people.

[@glorygracek.1841]

Perfect role for her, too. She IS that woman is real life. I have known and been victim of people like that, so I know what I am talking about.
Plus I actually have seen the video this guy refused to show of the clips of the play. And the reason thar is is because they were AWEFUL. They tried to sing easy street.....and it was so bad my Mom had walked into the room without context and she said "what on earth is that! Are they serious?". She thought I was watching one of tbose spoof videos it was that bad.
That crowd is just a whoopie suck ups. Probably vetted.

[@olegariocamara9308]

Is she going to be toxic on Broadway the way she is toxic in The View?

[@Carol-wu2hg]

I wouldn’t see her even for free tickets🤮

[@KarenTecott]

We should care--why????

[@ThisApp]

I'm sure carol with a string of numbers is a real person

[@jenniferminott616]

Then don't. She doesn't need you❤

[@michaelmaps2004]

Lol your eyes don't deserve to watch her 😂

[@jimmyboyzable]

And Whoopi would probably say the same thing about YOU
