Whoopi Goldberg exclusively refers to President Trump as “You Know Who” on The View, but there’s one former president the actress has no problem giving a shoutout to: Former President Barack Obama.

Goldberg halted the ladies’ introduction to the show during Thursday’s (May 21) broadcast when she thought she spotted Obama in the audience. She even went as far as giving him a spirited shoutout that had her co-hosts and the audience laughing at the coincidence.

As she and her co-hosts took their seats around the Hot Topics table, Goldberg asked, “You see the man who looks like Obama up there?”

The ladies immediately spotted the dapper gentleman in the top row. The camera also panned directly to the lookalike, who was laughing at the comparison.

“I was like, is the president here?!” Goldberg joked. “Look at Obama!” She then raised her hands up and yelled, “Obama!”

“I mean, I saw you out of the corner of my eye,” she told the audience member, adding that she couldn’t believe it at first. “So, I just have to say, welcome to The View, y’all.”

Joy Behar later joked they should see if he can also sing “Let’s Stay Together.”

“We’ll come back and do that,” Goldberg responded as she attempted to get the show back on track.
