But that didn't stop Whoopi, 66, from snapping at her long-time co-host Joy, 79, as they were discussing hot topics.
The TV stars were in a terse conversation about President Biden bumping fists with the Saudi Crown Prince when the Sister Act star went on her own rant about the presidency at large.
When her writer co-star jumped in to add her own take, Whoopi cut her off, saying: "Hold on hold on we'll get to that when we come right back cause they just stopped me."
The actress then rolled her eyes and looked down at her comment cards as she threw Joy shade from her seat on the panel.

Whoopi's snappy response came as her co-host finally returned after a bout of sickness.
WHERE'S JOY?
Fans were very concerned about Joy after she wasn't featured on the panel for over a week.
Whoopi had previously joked that the redhead was out because she was "pregnant."
But Joy finally cleared the air as she rejoined her cast mates on Monday morning.

"Please welcome back two who have not been here for some time," Whoopi announced as the episode began.
"So much so that people were writing us going 'where is everybody'," she continued.
Ana Navarro then chimed in to tell Joy: "There was a rumor going around that you were having morning sickness."
Co-host Sara Haines added: "Didn't we tell people she was pregnant? Well, congratulations!"
"Thank you, I'm the Virgin Mary," Joy joked, before replying to Sara: "You had Covid but I did not.
"I'm here to remind everybody that there are diseases out there besides Covid.
"I had a virus. That's it! A really strong virus. I tested negative in five PCR tests I did not have it," she claimed.
LATE BABY?
Amid fan concerns regarding Joy's unexplained disappearance, Whoopi previously joked that the 79-year-old was out because she was "pregnant."
She was missing all last week, causing fans to become worried about where she was and if she was feeling healthy.
Whoopi finally gave an update on her View co-host’s mysterious absence during Thursday’s broadcast.
First, she shared that Sara Haines, who was also out all week, was still sick at home with Covid.
The moderator then explained: “Joy is not out with Covid.”
“She’s getting over something else, the flu.”
Then she went on to joke about the actress: “Or maybe she’s pregnant, I don’t know.”
This update both gave worried fans some relief, as well as cracked them up.
One fan tweeted: “Wow lol ‘Or maybe she's pregnant.’”
Another wrote: “Get better Joy,” to which a fellow fan joked back in response: “Or give birth soon!”
