I'm Brian Tetta, executive producer of The View. It's Monday and I'm here with Alyssa Farra Griffin.

This is behind the table. All right it is Monday and there's no Monday is never easy but it's easier when it's a whoopi

Goldberg birthday Monday so we celebrated whoopi's birthday on the show today.

I'm here with Alyssa. What was your favorite part of the show? This was a

totally different vibe than a normal show today.

Woo! Happy birthday Whoopi. It was so much fun. By the way my favorite thing about

what's Wopi because the most the biggest question I get from fans is what's Wopi

actually like.

She's exactly what you see. The fact that on her birthday she wants to give other people gifts and celebrate other people is just peak her and she's amazing.

It's so sweet.

Gladys night.

So my best friend at her wedding saying midnight train to Georgia with her husband and I texted

them this morning I was like, you guys are going to die over who's on our show today and I'm just going to be

honest it's it's going to beat your rendition but I mean such an icon and seeing

sound that amazing looks amazing looks amazing sounds like the day she first started and seeing the love between her and whoopi

There's a real friendship there and then of course Hannah Waddingham like one of our she's I said this I think before and you ask one my favorite guests we've ever had this was my second time with her

She just lights up a room she you don't have to ask a question. She'll just go she's got stories she's got humor she's got it all. She's just so elegant and

she's like elegant and classy in body at the same time and if you if you love Ted

Lasso as I do and I was Ted Lasso for Halloween here two years ago.

It's amazing because she's that character.

But even if you've never seen the show,

she's just awesome.
