‘The View’ Promotes Latino Face Painting at Super Bowl
Whoopi Goldberg once joined Ted Danson for forgotten blackface appearance
“The View” is the ultimate echo chamber.
The show’s far-Left hosts swap the most unhinged conspiracies, and fellow panelists rarely hold each other accountable.
One shocking example? Co-host Whoopi Goldberg once said President Donald Trump would end interracial marriages without a molecule of evidence. That also ignores the fact that Vice President J.D. Vance’s wife is an Indian-American.
That lack of accountability has been the norm ever since right-leaning Meghan McCain fled the show in 2021.
This week, “The View” discussed Bad Bunny’s upcoming appearance at the 2026 Super Bowl. The conversation turned to illegal immigration on two fronts. The far-Left singer is an avowed ICE hater, having announced he wouldn’t tour the U.S. as long as ICE was still arresting illegal immigrants stateside.
Performing at the Super Bowl? That’s another story, apparently.
Plus, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says ICE officials will be at the annual event.
That set off co-host Whoopi Goldberg, who served up a curious way to respond to the lawful group’s efforts to enforce immigration laws.

Goldberg’s solution served as a painful reminder of the nation’s blackface past, a dehumanizing practice that has long since been abandoned. Even comical uses of the practice have been memory-holed in recent years.
“Here is the thing, everybody, get a little cocoa butter, sit in the sun, that’s the first thing. And then — and this is the only time you can probably ever do this, give yourself a Latin accent.”
Did her fellow panelists share what a terrible idea that was or mention how uncomfortably close it was to black face?
No. Instead, a woman who once darkened her skin but never had to formally apologize for it, cheered on her co-host.
“You know, Whoopi, that is such a good idea!” Joy Behar weighed in.
“And just see — and see if she can tell who’s who!,” Goldberg shot back.
Goldberg, oddly enough, isn’t a stranger to blackface controversies. In 1985, she and then-beau Ted Danson attended a 1993 Friar’s Club roast. The “Cheers” star donned blackface for the ceremony, reciting racially-charged lines partially written by Goldberg.
The sketch raised eyebrows at the time, but in the mid-90s, Cancel Culture wasn’t part of the lexicon, and poor decisions didn’t result in woke Apology Tours™.
On the plus side, Goldberg’s deranged idea didn’t force the panelists to utter new legal notes to defend themselves from litigation.
