Whoopi Goldberg Teases ‘Shocking’ Paycheck From The View

Her remark has reignited reporting that she earns mid‑seven figures for the ABC panel, an unconfirmed figure that highlights recent pay cuts and budget tightening on the show.

Overview

  • On Tuesday, Goldberg told Keke Palmer on the Baby This Is Keke Palmer podcast that fans would be “shocked” if they saw the size of her The View paycheck while declining to give a dollar amount.
  • Goldberg stressed that The View is not the highest‑paying job she has ever had and said she remains open to other creative work if the right opportunity arises.
  • Independent reporting has placed her annual pay in the mid‑seven‑figure range, commonly cited as about $6 million, but ABC has not confirmed any salary figures.
  • Coverage of The View since Season 29 began in September 2025 has reported host pay cuts and smaller wardrobe budgets, giving Goldberg’s comments a broader context about the show’s cost‑cutting.
  • The episode is on summer break ahead of its next season, and Goldberg framed her long tenure and continued work as shaped in part by financial needs and steady employment.
