Whoopi Goldberg in Conversation with Adriana Trigiani: Bits and Pieces

May 6, 2024


Join bestselling author Whoopi Goldberg — one of an elite group of artists who have won the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards) and the first Black entertainer to achieve this status — for a candid conversation about her life and her new memoir, Bits and Pieces.

Whoopi Goldberg’s signature performances and comic voice have influenced pop-culture for decades — starring roles in films like The Color Purple, Ghosts of Mississippi, Sister Act, and Ghost, as co-host of The View. Her latest book, Bits and Pieces, offers for a rare look behind the curtain into the deeply personal stories that made her who she is — from growing up in the projects of New York City to the experiences with her mother and brother that shaped her early life to her iconic rise to stardom.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, hear her discuss this heartfelt tribute from a daughter to her mother — how her family helped shape her life, stories from her brilliant career, and much more.
