Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar Confirm No Retirement Plans From The View

Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of ABC's "The View," has stated she cannot afford to retire despite her long tenure on the show, citing the need to keep working because she "didn't marry well" and still has bills to pay. At 69, Goldberg emphasized that she is not ready to slow down, and rejected the notion that she could afford to retire. Her co-host Joy Behar, 83, also expressed no plans to retire, highlighting that creative people continue working because they enjoy creating rather than for financial reasons. Both returned for the 29th season of "The View," which remains the most-watched daytime talk show, with a panel known for its outspoken political commentary, including criticism of President Trump’s administration. The show has faced pushback from Trump’s White House, but Goldberg and Behar remain committed to their work despite external controversies. Goldberg’s candid remarks about finances contrast with her reported $60 million net worth and $8 million annual salary, underscoring her perspective on personal financial necessity and career continuation.
