Whoopi Goldberg clearly feels theres been a shift in her work environment at The View since her former co-host Meghan McCain departed the show last year.
At the New York Film Festival premiere of Till on Saturday, when asked about the current dynamic at The View, Goldberg told Page Six that the show is calmer these days. In Till, Goldberg plays Alma Carthan, the grandmother of Emmett Till, a Black 14-year-old boy who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955.
Its calmer because nobody wants to be that tired every day, Goldberg told Page Six, seemingly referring to the frequent on-air spats McCain engaged in with her co-hosts during her time on the show.
Goldberg told Page Six that her daughter would call out the not-so-subtle facial expressions shed make during some of those on-air debates.
My daughter would say to me, I can see your face! [And I would say] OK, Ill be better, she said.

McCain appeared in her last episode in August 2021, after four years on the show. The former co-host, who served as a conservative voice on the panel, often made headlines for her controversial remarks .
In her memoir, Bad Republican, McCain wrote that she was motivated to leave the show after an on-air exchange with co-host Joy Behar that made her burst into tears.
In an excerpt of her book published by Variety in October 2021, McCain discussed her exchange with Behar, which happened shortly after shed returned to work from a three-month maternity leave. McCain writes that she teasingly told Behar: Joy, you missed me so much when I was on maternity leave! You missed fighting with me! Behar responded: I did not. I did not miss you. Zero.

Nothing anyone has ever said to me on camera since I have been giving interviews since I was 22 years old ever hit this hard, McCain wrote in her memoir, according to Variety. I felt like Id been slapped.
