Ya'll can never make me hate Whoopi. I got emotional just listening to how wonderful of a human she is

[sheldoncole]

Whoopi Goldberg is a mother figure to everybody

I am literally smiling from ear to ear seeing the kids of Sister Act 2 like I missed my old school friends..

When Sheryl Lee Ralph says anything with authority, my mind immediately goes to “singing does not put food on the table!” This movie will always be one of my favorites.

Sheryl Lee Ralph: “Whoopi has been, & continues to be a great user of her platform to help everybody in BIG, & small ways that end up meaning SO MUCH!! Thank You.” 🥰
& Then the LOUD applause afterwards!! 🥳💜

For every negative comment about Ms. Goldberg, on this day, she got her flowers. And so deserving.

[fundifferent]

This is why Whoopi is my favorite actress. Everyone has a great story to tell about what she did for them on set.

[gemgirl]

Yes ma’am. Come get your flowers Miss Goldberg!!

Sister Act 2 is a movie I never grow tired of.

I'm so glad the View did this reunion. Sister Act II is a beloved treasure in our family. My kids used to watch the VHS every day and still know it word for word when we watch it on holidays.

I've loved Whoop since I saw her one woman show as a kid. When I think I couldn't possibly love her more, I hear someone tell a story of her quiet kindness and advocacy, and my heart for her grows even more. She is truly one of the greatest human beings to ever grace this planet.

I love how they gave everyone a chance to speak. This was such a beautiful reunion.

[Mutecuzoma]

If only Lauren Hill attended, that would have been a full reunion. Still very touching ❤

[YesJustice]

I always address Whoopi as a national Treasure 💯❤❤💯Even all the international movies/places she has been, she's been so kind, welcoming and helping others; She is so wonderful, and she doesnt tolerate nonsense😂😂😂

I have my own little memory of Whoopi! I performed in the candlelight processional at Epcot with her for several years. One year I happened to stand just next to her and on the other side was an older gentleman who was sweating bullets. She happened to notice and during a blackout in the show, she took some tissues from her podium and passed them to the gentleman. I watched that play out and said to myself how kind and respectful and humane that was for her to do! The following year we are backstage and I happened to mention how much I respected and appreciated her doing that for one of the choir members and she said “well the guy was sweating! I had to help him”. Whoopi I can’t tell you how much I respect you! I hope to see you come back to Epcot this holiday season!

What a woman! Don't you ever change Whoopi! WE LOVE YOU!

[siegeaye]

Rita, (hey ho), Sketch, Maria, Tyler, guy who played the piano… wish those guys were on here as well!

My name Michael Whyte I'm from Nigeria, now living in New York. I've watched both shows and even own the DVDs! Honestly, Sister Act 1 & 2 had a good and wonderful influence on my music career. When I gained admission to the University to study Performing Arts, we had music conducting exams, and I went out of the conventional way of conducting and adopted Whoopi's conducting style, which I saw in the show. That made me one of the top students in the class! 😂 Thank you, Whoopi! for mentoring me from afar and this may sound crazy but will love to meet you in person and it will be a dream come

[rizzatwenty]

Lauryn HIll really missed something special by declining the invite. Tonya looks so radiant and beautiful. Loved seeing them all!

[milambo]

How is Whoopi not crying already, coz I'm bawling...😭😭 She has touched people in so many ways...❤

[dehende]

Whoopi has a heart of gold the story that the Asian girl told just warmed my heart
