Whoopi Goldberg’s 69th birthday celebration on The View took an unexpected turn when her co-host Sara Haines walked out after the star made a saucy comment.
The EGOT winner was promoting some of her favorite products on the daytime talk show, including a large wheel of cheese with her face on it.
Whoopi gave the cheese a kiss, while Sara, 47, told the audience: “I always wanted my face in the cheese.”
The Sister Act star, who recently shared that she can’t afford to retire from The View, responded, “Yeah, I like getting eaten from time to time.”
The ironic comment caused the shocked TV presenter to jokingly leave the set.

The audience burst into laughter as Whoopi looked around with a mix of surprise and amusement.
Haines then returned to the stage and gave Whoopi a hug.
‘It doesn’t matter!’ Whoopi joked, dismissing the joke with a wave of her hand.
The atmosphere continued to be cheerful as Whoopi chuckled as she described the cheese in more detail.
“This is a wheel of authentic Parmigiano Reggiano from Italy, it has been aged for 24 months and is a testament to Italian tradition and quality,” he shared.
“So if you want a chance to win a wheel like this…” Whoopi continued, before Haines chimed in with “and eat Whoopi Goldberg!”
Whoopi, who elsewhere on the show claimed that a bakery refused to serve her because of her political views, laughed and responded: ‘That’s it! No, and eat yourself! Because you put your own face on it.
It comes after Whoopi shared that she is “going through a tough time” financially and can’t afford to walk away from The View.
‘If I had all the money in the world, I wouldn’t be here, okay? “So I’m a working person, you know,” he told the audience on the Nov. 12 episode of the CBS talk show.

Goldberg’s most recent salary is currently unknown, but was reported to be in the range of $5 to $6 million in 2016.
‘I appreciate that people are going through difficult times. Me too. I work for a living,” Goldberg said, following a discussion about Donald Trump’s second presidency and all the working-class Americans who voted for him.
She explained: ‘My daughter has to feed her family. My great-granddaughter has to be fed by her family. I know it’s tough out there.’
‘We talk to people all the time who say, “This is what bothers me.” But what bothers everyone shouldn’t be what endangers 85% of other people. I think that’s what we’re saying,’ he explained.
The comments come after shopkeepers became angry with the Ghost star after she called them “pigs” over rising food costs.
“Grocery store owners are pigs,” he said on last Thursday’s show, while blaming them for rising supermarket prices.
‘His pocketbook is bad, not because the Bidens have done anything. Not because the economy is bad. “Your grocery bills are what they are because the owners of the groceries are pigs,” Goldberg said.
Meanwhile, The Color Purple actress continues her promise to never say Trump’s name, which has been her motto since he was first elected in 2016.
It comes after Whoopi shared that she is “going through a tough time” financially and can’t afford to walk away from The View.
The View has been on the air since 1997. The current hosts are Goldberg, Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro.
After his victory last week, Goldberg stated that “that’s not going to change.”
Discussing the election results with her co-hosts, Goldberg expressed disappointment that “people didn’t come out” to vote for Kamala Harris.
In 2018, Goldberg admitted that he never says Trump’s name, telling CNN’s The Ax Files that he “can’t” stand to say it or call him “President.”
But her co-host Sunny Hostin, 56, took her frustration a step further and blamed white women and Latino men.
