Whoopi Goldberg Quotes ‘Ghost’ to Mike Pence on ‘The View’: “Mike, You Was in Danger, Man”

The View kicked off to a good start this morning when Oda Mae Brown came out to play. During the show’s first Hot Topics segment, Whoopi Goldberg had a message for former Vice President Mike Pence, and it brought back all the feels from her 1990 flick, Ghost.

It all started when the ladies played a clip of Pence’s former aide, Marc Short, who recently testified before the federal grand jury on the Jan. 6 investigation. In the video, Short told an interviewer, “If the mob had gotten closer to the vice president, I do think there would’ve been a massacre in the capitol that day.”

Once we flashed back to the panel, Goldberg stared into the camera and responded, “Mike, you was in danger, man.”

The reference, which was spoken to Demi Moore’s character in the Patrick Swayze-led romantic drama, originally had Goldberg, who played spiritual reader Oda Mae Brown, say, “Molly, you in danger, girl.”

It was less than a second after she quoted the iconic line that subbed in Pence’s name for Molly’s when both the audience and her co-hosts burst into cheers. After a moment of looks and nods, Goldberg joked, “That was for Joy.”

Ghost features Swayze as Sam Wheat, a banker who is madly in love with his artist girlfriend Molly (Moore). However, when he is tragically shot and killed walking home from the movies one night, his ghost stays behind, befriending Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg), a comedic spiritual reader who can only hear him, as the two try to solve the mystery of who murdered him and why.

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
