According to fans, #TheView star has been known to zone out during pop culture segments on live TV

While the others quickly shared their opinions on the potential split, Whoopi could be seen with her head in her hands, swinging her legs in boredom

Fans were quick to hop on Twitter to express how they felt about Whoopi

Whoopi has been prone to the occasional blunder on the show - almost ending one episode way before the programme was due to be over

Joking about the incident recently, she almost ended up making the same mistake again

She continued, as her co-hosts began cracking up beside her: “OK, I’m nervous now. Because I don’t know if you all know, last week I dumped the show 20 minutes early

“So, now I’m never sure when the show is over. So, I’m hearing now that it is over, so–"

That’s when a producer off-camera quickly cut her off and called out: “No!”
