Niecy Nash Recounts Yelling 'Cut' on 1995 Set With Whoopi Goldberg After Unrealistic Line

Goldberg praised Nash for fixing the dialogue during her first professional film job.

Overview

  • On Oct. 28, Nash told The View she halted a Boys on the Side take by shouting “Cut” because Goldberg kept laughing.
  • She said she worried about being fired until director Herbert Ross asked what felt wrong and requested her alternative.
  • Nash proposed a more natural line about a friend in the bathroom throwing up, which Ross used in the final cut.
  • Goldberg told the audience the original dialogue “made no sense,” credited Nash with the fix, and joked about not yelling cut mid-scene.
  • The story surfaced during Nash’s promotion of Hulu’s All’s Fair and was reported by People and Entertainment Weekly.
