Whoopi Goldberg was absent from the show last week due to being at an event in Italy.
Goldberg gushed in another social media upload, "I want to thank Sicily for this beautiful welcome. Last night was extraordinary hosted by @francescoitalia_sindaco in this beautiful theater in Ortigia. This was followed by a fantastic event in Taormina for @taobukfestival."
"It was nice to meet each and every one of you," the EGOT winner said. "Thank you all for coming out. I understand someone of you traveled a long distance to see me."
Whoopi Goldberg's New Gig
Though Goldberg will be back in the States, she'll return to Italy sooner rather than later, as she announced via Instagram that she nabbed a role in an Italian soap opera!
"I just wanted to stop in and say how happy I am to be joining the cast of Un Posto Al Sole," she spilled in a video. "They know it’s a crazy idea, I know it’s a crazy idea, but what a wonderful thing to do. I’m looking forward to it. I’m excited."
"No, my Italian is not perfect, but we’ve worked it out," the mother-of-one quipped. "Ciao! See you on TV."
New episodes of the talk show will begin on Monday, July 7.
The View also stars Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
Goldberg has been on the show since 2007 — though when asked in March 2024 if she had plans to retire any time soon, she told OK!, "I haven't really given it any thought."
