Examples of whoopi goldberg in a Sentence

1. James Corden:

   I have re-watched countless, countless Tony Award shows and I am no James Corden, I am certainly no Neil Patrick Harris or Hugh Jackman for that matter. And I am no Whoopi Goldberg, but I have been inspired by all of them, i'm excited about it because it's a playground for me. I have never done this so I get to just sort of experiment and the good thing is that I love these people and I don't mind falling on my face and looking like a little bit of an idiot for people I love. So here we go !

2. Bill Maher:

   First of all … there is no f --- ing thing as karma, OK ? Get over that, whoopi attacks me on a regular basis, Whoopi Goldberg says stupid s --- on a regular basis, it just so happened to coincide.

3. Goldman McCormick:

   It provides cover for two different [areas]. It provides cover for Whoopi Goldberg because she made those statements and she was passionate about them, it also provides cover for the greater good of the show and for the greater good of ABC— for them to orchestrate this— it was a really great strategy. It worked out well because as the story gets progressively worse, you don’t want to be seen as somebody defending someone, especially when they’ve admitted on public record for doing something so horrific [as purchasing drugs to give to women.].

4. Carly Fiorina:

   Whoopi Goldberg -- who said know what, look I’ve been called all kinds of things, Whoopi … I’ve been called a bimbo from the time I was a secretary to the time I was a CEO. I think we need to be able to have civil conversations in this country about our differences … so I'd just like to have a conversation about where we agree and where we disagree.

5. Meghan McCain:

   I also enjoy fighting with Panelist Whoopi Goldberg and she enjoys fighting with me, so, I just want everyone to stop being so precious about our relationship because it's almost 2020 and women can debate on TV in a spirited way without it being personal, and I know this is a big shock, but we get along backstage.
