Whoopi Goldberg Calls Out Oscars In Memoriam Snub of ‘Star Trek’ Buddy James Darren

Whoopi Goldberg was on hand for Monday’s (March 3) live episode of The View, despite appearing in Sunday’s Oscars telecast — in a late-night tribute to Quincy Jones, alongside The Color Purple costar Oprah Winfrey — and being one of the first people to arrive on the red carpet.

Goldberg admitted it was a major undertaking to make it back from the Los Angeles-based awards show in time for the talk show segment in New York, but she did so after making a promise to executive producer Brian Teta.
