She made her performing debut at age eight with the Helena Rubinstein Children's Theatre at the Hudson Guild. After dropping out of high school, she found work as a summer camp counselor, and in the choruses of the Broadway shows Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and Pippin.
In 1983 the legendary director Mike Nichols saw her perform and, the following year, presented her on Broadway in a one-woman show of her own creation. The show was an enormous success, and brought her to the attention of Steven Spielberg, who cast her in the leading role in his film of Alice Walker's The Color Purple. Making her film debut in this coveted role instantly established her as one of Hollywood's leading actresses. Her performance in Ghost won her an Academy Award. She followed this with memorable performances in the box-office smash Sister Act and the critically acclaimed Robert Altman film, The Player. Her other film credits include Made In America; Corinna, Corinna; Star Trek: Generations and Boys on the Side. In addition to her acting roles, Whoopi Goldberg has hosted her own television talk show and has earned rave reviews for hosting the annual Academy Awards telecast.
Goldberg is one of only ten individuals who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award, counting Daytime Emmy Awards. She is the second African American female performer to win an Academy Award for acting (the first being Hattie McDaniel); she has also won two Golden Globe Awards.

I was a kid when this came out and I remember sneaking to watch this and hiding my laughter. Especially about Baby Jessica. I can’t believe I was born in 80 and lived through the 80s. lol 😆 thank you for this. This is one of her iconic performances.

Yup, so good. I also like her original Broadway show recording.

What a wonderful, hilarious routine from the lucid junkie Fontaine. If your behind was unborn or you had not much use of your brain in the 1980s, OR you're an uptight piece of work, you might miss out on much of this exquisite humor --told, of course, through Goldberg's potty-mouthed, cynical, street-banged philosopher.

I removed the Billy Idol song at the beginning due to a copyright issue and swapped it. Other than that, I did not cut out any parts. This is what was on my VHS release.

Hmmm - So, she's saying "nobody" voted for Ronald Reagan ... So, how'd he "get here"? HA! Better question: "More people voted for DJT, so how'd Joe "get here"? Wherever "here" may be for FJB! Know what I'm sayin' ?

I don't really look at this as a stand-up comedy bit. There is more to it than that.

She tells stories which is fun too. From that perspective, I really like the "Anne Frank House" segment. Not funny, but intriguing. I used to listen to it in bed while going to sleep. Just imagining her story, with vivid images in my head.

It’s performative art and it’s like any other art, either it’s speaks to you or it doesn’t. This is obviously early in her career, early for this kind of “comedy”. I saw her Broadway performance on vhs when I was 10…..it was transformative for me…I’ll never forget how it made me feel as a kid. This is brilliant for its time, hard to feel that way if you are late to the game.

@Sage Sharpe im not 3, i understand context and what this is pretending to be. It's not intelligent, its playing on simple minded dummies that seem to think this is deep in some way.

@sagesharpe4099

@Alexander lumberjack not sure how old you are, but the 80s were a period of real “wokeness” waking up from the naivety of the 60s and 70s. When she’s talking about the HIV brothers…and the comparison to baby Jessica. It was profound. It’s easy to forget or ignore how much misinformation got actual ppl killed. Most of the things that are funny pertain to pop culture at the time. But the underlying theme was social awareness. I’m not even sorry you don’t think she’s funny, this is groundwork for an entire population that had been threatened, beaten, and killed. The race discussion is timeless. The fact that this character is a recovering addict is the only thing sad about it, I hate that she hid behind some of these characters to just say truth…she had some great characters that said a lot of great things. I wish she could have just been Whoopi.

It used to be this B, Robin Willaims, and Billy Crystal. Then The View happened and people can't stand her now. George Soros is keeping that show afloat ;)
