What Happened: Whoopi Goldberg's On-Air Blunder on 'The View'

During a recent episode of The View on February 26, Whoopi Goldberg made a humorous mistake while introducing guest Dr. Jennifer Ashton, mixing up her name with Jennifer Aniston's.

The mishap occurred as the panel discussed Punch the monkey, who gained fame for bonding with a stuffed orangutan after being rejected by its mother at a zoo in Japan.

When discussing why zoo staff didn't intervene with Punch, Goldberg explained the natural course of events in the wild and announced she would ask "Dr. Jennifer Aniston" for her opinion after the break.

Host Ana Navarro corrected Goldberg's error, leading to a light-hearted exchange before the commercial break, where Goldberg continued the joke upon their return, referencing "Dr. Jen" and eventually introducing the actual guest, Dr. Jennifer Ashton.
