Whoopi Goldberg Reveals ‘Man Money’ Paycheck On The View
Whoopi Goldberg was the first Black woman to achieve EGOT status. She’s won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. But in a recent interview, she admitted that she had no clue what an EGOT was.
“I had never heard of such a thing until I did Tracy Morgan’s show 30 Rock [in 2009], where his character is looking to become an EGOT,” she toldW magazine. The actress reiterated that she’s rarely offered movie roles. Instead, she gets them by default after white actors turn down the opportunity.
Her lack of film roles plays a part in her refusal to leaveThe View. “A good check,” she told the outlet about why she stays on the talk show. “That’s really what it is. I’m well-paid, and I do a good job. I earn my dough, and sometimes people like it, sometimes they don’t. No one is going to pay me guy money to be in a movie. I get what I can, have as good a time as I can, and I don’t really worry about it too much.”
Whoopi Goldberg won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her role as a psychic in the 1990 hit movie Ghost.She’s currently working onSister Act 3. But she doesn’t need “man money” in movies when she can get that on The View.
