While taping the Wednesday, April 17 episode, Whoopi, 68, appeared to be “tired” during the daily 11 a.m. ET show, according to a source.
“Whoopi entered the room in sloppy pink overalls, a white shirt, and clogged shoes.
“She was very underdressed compared to the other hosts who were wearing dresses or pencil skirts,” the source said.
In addition to her casual work attire — which is her regular attire — during the recording, she appeared “uninterested” in conversations and “not in an upbeat mood compared to others.”
“She was hunched over and sometimes rested her head in her hands,” the source continued.
“After she finished reading her cards, she would tear them into pieces and hand them to a staff member, something the other co-hosts weren’t doing.”
The hot topic of the day was Donald Trump’s money hiding trial, which is currently underway in Manhattan Criminal Court in New York.
Whoopi, who is the show’s longtime moderator, initiated the conversation, but then let her colleagues — Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin — take over.
As seen in the live recording, the actress wasn’t too interested in the conversation about whether the former president’s wife, Melania Trump, should take the stand to testify about Stormy Daniels.
In keeping with the hot topics, the show aired the A Different World reunion, which, according to a source, was pre-recorded and not filmed live.
The April 17 episode ended with an interview with singer-songwriter Huey Lewis, who was there to promote his new Broadway play, The Heart of Rock and Roll.
“She loved Huey and begged him to stay at the table to help close the show after he was done with the interview,” the source commented.
US Sun has reached out to ABC for comment.
TALKING
Whoopi previously addressed retirement rumors in an exclusive interview with The US Sun in October 2023.
When asked about her retirement plans, she joked, “I haven’t done anything but retire. I’ve been retired my whole career, so I like that.”
