Professional talk show host and space bartender Whoopi Goldberg has a problem. If you’ve noticed, in the past few months, she’s been argumentative, brash, and alternately manic-depressive. This week on her show The View, she admitted to the country what people in her circle of close family and friends something they already know.
“Guys, I have to apologize for my recent behavior. I am an alcoholic. I’ve recently made peace with that fact at a couple of alcoholic’s anonymous meetings.”
Her audience let out a small gasp of surprise as the sad confession went on.
“I started drinking months ago, on and off, and it got worse when I started hanging out with former house Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We would hit up all the bars in Manhattan after the show and get totally wasted. It really got out of control.”
To illustrate her sad denouement, Whoopi then introduced her sponsor, Sandra Batt, to the interview couch for this very special episode.
“Whoopi has told us about the late nights where she’s woken up in a strange bathtub naked and covered in circus peanuts,” Batt tearfully spoke. “Now that she’s getting the help she so needs, her life is slowly turning around.”
Goldberg excused herself during a commercial break to freshen up, and returned smelling of Mad Dog 20/20 and Funyuns. The episode will air tomorrow.
