Whoopi says the convos they have on TV are challenging ones, and they don’t always get into them as eloquently as they’d sometimes like. Still, she says that won’t deter them from tackling tough topics, ‘cause that’s what they’ve all been hired to do.
Whoopi didn’t harp too much on her 2-week timeout, but did say she appreciated everyone who reached out — which apparently included some surprising calls or messages — and in the same breath said she’d done a lot of listening too.
