Tom Leonardis has been Whoppie Goldberg's producer for about 19 years. Tom is also president of Whoopie Inc., her largest fan club. He admits to being frustrated and confused as to why Ms. Goldberg has never, ever been asked to host the Saturday Night Live entertainment show. "Whoopie has won an Oscar, she has hosted the Oscars, she won Emmys, Gramy and Tony awards as well, she even runs The View, Barbara Walters' Crown Jewel of a show, a couple times a month. So you tell me, what does it take for one of the most successful black comics to host this show? Lorne Greene never responds to my emails or my phone calls or any of my tweets. I've had enough of this treatment!".
Tom was speaking with reporters on the evening that Whoopie premiered her one woman performance at The Apollo Theatre; Whoopie presents Moms Mabley. In attendance were George Schlattner of Rowan and Martin's Laugh in production, Rain Pryor, daughter of Late Comic Richard Pryor, Dick Cavett, Phylis Rashad, and Jerry Stiller. Rain has also opened a show recently; her performance in 'Fried Chicken and Latkas" is receiving rave reviews. Whoopie says she long ago stopped waiting for Lorne Greene to dial her number; "I am not worried about it, okay?' was her response to the topic.
They are racists, Whoopi.
Mark my words.
Obamatollah needs PR help and she’s been chosen.
Expect her to host 4 Saturdays from now.
Clue: She’s not funny.
Maybe that's because he's been dead since 1987.
Maybe they think she's too busy...
They should do a séance and maybe get her a small part on Bonanza. Lorne Greene died in 1987, Lorne Michaels runs Saturday Night Live.
Lorne Greene is busy on The Ponderosa. Lorne Michaels, the producer of SNL, isn't interested in Whooping.
Now we can find the Ponderosa as I always thought that they burned the map in the opening credits.
“Clue: She’s not funny.”
Yes. I’d say her entire career, awards and all, has been because she’s liberal. Not because she’s funny.
It seems I did enjoy a few of her works until they got so political I couldn’t stomach her anymore.
So you tell me, what does it take for one of the most successful black comics to host this show?
She is a comic? Who knew
Isn’t Lorne Green deceased?
“Lorne Greene never responds to my emails or my phone calls or any of my tweets. I’ve had enough of this treatment!”.
Lorne Greene is dead, you stupid lib. And the greatest sci fi ship commander in TV history.
I don’t see an SNL hosting in Whoopi’s future - she’s way past the sell-by date.
And Lorne Greene is not returning my calls either. Neither is Michael Landon.
I can understand her frustration, they’ve never asked me either.......but then again, maybe they don’t have my phone #.
I dunno. Ask Eddie Murphy.
That's why I don't watch Goldberg on TV or anywhere else, for that matter.

“Maybe that’s because he’s been dead since 1987.”
Well that explains a lot. I hope Whoopie and her producer check in with FR regularly!
“Lorne Greene”?
I got a right to pick a little fight. Bonanza!
The author means Lorne Michaels.
And yes, they are the real racists - liberal progressive drug addicts to the core - that Goldberg refuses to see.
I was thinking the same thing...
