The View’s Whoopi Goldberg makes major blunder on live TV as she tries to make a joke to her co-hosts

During Tuesday’s show, the hosting panel was in the middle of discussing the recent backlash over comments made by Jill Biden, when Whoopi tried to make a joke.
Everyone was mocking how Jill pronounced the word “bodega” in her speech, saying she kept pronouncing it “bogeda.”
To continue on with the mocking, Whoopi tried to make a geographical joke out of it, saying: “i thought that was a place in Bolivia. Bogeda.”
It backfired, though, as guest co-host corrected her to tell her that that one’s Bogotá and is actually in Colombia, not Bolivia.

“Ah,” Whoopi just said, before trying to quickly continue on.
Though, she ended up pausing for a moment to chastise herself over the blunder.
“That’s right, it is Colombia,” she stopped to say, before going on to jokingly wake her brain up, saying: “Hello!”
The View moderator has made quite a few blunders on the talk show in recent weeks.

During the cast's recent work trip to the Bahamas, alone, Whoopi suffered a slew of on-air mishaps.
In one episode, she had an embarrassing flub while interviewing singer Ne-Yo.
While wrapping up their interview, the moderator said: "Thank you for always being here for us, we do love the poo out of you."
She then instructed viewers to pre-order his album, but urged them to do it "at the end of the show."
Whoopi stumbled over words as she added: "So we can get the... nee... what's it called," before breaking off and appealing for help from those around her.
Someone shouted in, "Nielsen ratings," which other members of The View panel seemed to confirm.
Laughing over her mistake, Whoopi added hastily: "We want the ratings!"
Nielsen ratings are used to measure how many viewers tune in to watch shows across the US.
A couple days before that, she shocked fans when she abruptly halted the show during an interview over another blunder.
Saturday Night Live's Chloe Fineman appeared on the show, but Whoopi introduced her as Chloe Fin-a-man, saying "she could pretty much be the entire cast of SNL... if she wanted."
"And she's also a scene-stealer in the reboot of Father of the Bride, please welcome Chloe Fine-a-man," she continued.
After Chloe walked over to the table, Whoopi stopped the interview before it could begin, saying: "I'm going to say your name again because I said Fine-a-man and it's Fineman."
When she introduced guests Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers to The View during another Bahamas episode, Whoopi also had a bit of trouble pronouncing a name.
This time, it was the name of their podcast, Las Culturistas.
After trying and only able to say it as Las Culturastas, she eventually just gave up.

Guest co-host Ana jumped in to say it correctly, and Whoopi just told her, “Well, I was hoping you would say it.”
Whoopi then added to Ana, “Gracias,” for her help in saying the podcast name correctly.
