- *The View* cohost Whoopi Goldberg mocked OnlyFans models reportedly applying for visas.

- Goldberg called the development "more crazy information" happening in the United States.

- The Oscar-winning actress later simulated shooting a ping-pong ball out of herself.

Whoopi Goldberg, budding ping-pong expert and Oscar-winning actress, has seemingly risen to face off against *Marty Supreme* star Timothée Chalamet — and she's not about to use a paddle to win her matches.

The *Ghost* and *Sister Act* star kicked off Monday's episode of *The View *with a Hot Topics discussion about what she called "some more crazy information" about special visas "designed for only people with extraordinary abilities or achievements." As she pointed out, there are reports that influencers and OnlyFans models are dominating requests for the visas, a development Goldberg and her cohosts mocked for the remainder of the segment.

"So, if you can take a ping-pong ball and... well... never mind," the 70-year-old said before turning the discussion over to her fellow panelists.

Whoopi Goldberg feigns shock over OnlyFans Hot Topic on 'The View'.

Sara Haines, 48, expressed confusion over why OnlyFans models and influencers would need a visa for the United States, as "those are remote jobs" and "you don't need a visa" because "you can do that from the privacy of your own home."**** Legal expert and former federal prosecutor Sunny Hostin, 57, pointed out that such visas have typically been "reserved" for people who display exemplary talents in select academic or athletic fields. But, she said, "I've never seen an OnlyFans account, I know some people have stuff just on their feet, videos of their feet and stuff," or so she's heard.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Goldberg clarified of her earlier ping-pong message, with the studio audience gasping at the observation.

Goldberg later slightly demonstrated the *very* specific ping-pong-based talent she joked about, telling the spectators, "This could create a new job," before exclaiming, "Pew!" as she simulated pushing out a ball from under the table.

The segment eventually closed with Goldberg circling back to her running bit.

"I'm going to continue to be unserious about it. I'm going to start practicing to put that... shoot that ping-pong ball, put that candle out!" she said, looking at the camera before assuring the audience, "We'll be right back."

In other spicy *View* news, *Fallout* actor Walton Goggins informed cohost Joy Behar on Friday's live show that his wife, filmmaker Nadia Conners, now refers to his testicles by the pet name "Goggins" — a moniker the 83-year-old comedian used on the air to refer to Goggins' nether regions on a June 2025 broadcast.
