In a moment that had *The View* audience in stitches, Whoopi Goldberg was caught in one of her signature bewildered expressions during a live taping of the show this Monday.
The amusing scene unfolded when comedian Amy Schumer, visiting the talk show to promote her new comedy *Kinda Pregnant*,
handed out strap-on, pink waist bags designed to look like pregnant bellies.
As Schumer’s new movie follows a character who pretends to be pregnant out of jealousy over a friend’s pregnancy,
the belly-shaped accessories quickly became the focus of the segment.
The cohosts of *The View* were all game to try on the comical accessories, but it was Goldberg’s reaction to her “pregnancy” belly that stole the show.
When Schumer suggested, “Just strap them right on,” Goldberg, holding the pink belly in her hands, appeared utterly confused. Her eyes widened as she stared at the prop, causing a wave of laughter from the studio audience. As Goldberg marveled at the strange object, the rest of the panel, including Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin, had already jumped up from the table and started dancing behind it, showing off their bellies as props.
Goldberg’s stunned silence, however, lasted longer than anyone expected. The camera captured her facial expression for a full 71 seconds before she broke the silence, ready to move the show along and heading into a commercial break. The awkward yet hilarious moment had fans buzzing and drew attention from Entertainment Weekly, which clocked just how long Goldberg was left speechless by the belly prop. It was a truly priceless reaction from one of daytime TV’s most beloved hosts.
When the show returned from the break, Goldberg was no longer holding the belly in confusion; instead, she had humorously decided to place the prop on her head like a hat. Her fellow cohosts couldn’t resist commenting on her new “look.” Haines quipped, “Whoopi’s carrying very high,” poking fun at the belly now perched atop Goldberg’s hair. Without missing a beat, Goldberg played along, asking, “Can you imagine an egg in my body right now?” To which Ana Navarro, ever quick-witted, responded, “Sweetheart, eggs are so expensive, you might have to eat the ones you’re carrying in the body.”
The sight of Goldberg sporting the fake pregnant belly on her head quickly became the highlight of the segment. For the remainder of the broadcast, the prop stayed perched on her head, much to the delight of viewers. While it disappeared by the end of the show, Goldberg’s moment of sheer bewilderment and humor was sure to be one of the most talked-about moments of the week.
Schumer’s new film *Kinda Pregnant*, which inspired the playful segment, premieres on Netflix this Wednesday. The movie follows a woman who pretends to be pregnant to get attention and out of jealousy for a friend who is expecting. The comedic premise had Schumer in a playful mood during her *View* appearance, and the exchange between the cohosts added to the fun, showing that even in the most chaotic moments, the panel can make light of just about anything.
In addition to the comedic moments, Goldberg’s hilarious display of confusion highlighted the fun dynamic between the show’s hosts. From her usual deadpan humor to moments of genuine bewilderment, Goldberg continues to be one of the most unpredictable and entertaining personalities on daytime television. Her playful exchange with Schumer also demonstrated the camaraderie and sense of humor that *The View* has built its reputation on over the years.

As for Schumer, she got exactly the kind of reaction she was hoping for: hilarious, memorable, and utterly candid.
