Fans of The View have been sharing thoughts about Whoopi Goldberg's future on the chat show after she allegedly appeared 'uninterested' while taping a recent episode.

Goldberg, who is now 68 years old, joined the cast of The View as a host and moderator in 2007, and has been a big presence on the show ever since.

She currently stars alongside the likes of Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro as she continues to share her input on all manner of topics that come across the table - but recently some fans have suggested she looks 'bored'.

On April 15, one viewer wrote on X: "@TheView I absolutely love The View but Whoopie sitting there uninterested is getting old. Love you Whoopie but come on..."

The following day, another fan posted: "@TheView why is @whoopie_g the host and looks bored all the time so dry!! [what the hell]."

The comments came as an insider with knowledge of the show told The Sun that Goldberg appeared to be 'tired' while taping the episode which aired on April 17.

They claimed: "Whoopi walked into the room with slouchy pink overalls, a white dress shirt and clog shoes.

"She was very underdressed compared to the other hosts who were wearing dresses or pencil skirts."

The insider went on to claim Goldberg had come off as 'uninterested' in conversations, and that she was 'not in an upbeat mood compared to the others'.

"She was slouching and rested her head on her hand at times," the insider continued.

"After she was done reading her note cards, she would rip them up into pieces and hand them to a crew member, which is something the other co-hosts weren't doing."

Some viewers have suggested it is 'time for Whoopi to leave The View', but in October Goldberg spoke out about potential retirement and indicated that she had no plans to step back.

Speaking at the time, she said: "I've done nothing but retire. I've been retired my whole career, so I kind of like that, yeah."

Speaking to The US Sun at the Fashion Group International Night of Stars Gala, Goldberg continued: "I have a contract. As long as I'm doing the contract, nobody's mad.

"But I've been off on Fridays for years now because when we did that normally, I'd go to work and do shows or do whatever because I could travel on a Friday."

UNILAD has contacted representatives for Whoopi Goldberg for comment.
