Actor-comedian Whoopi Goldberg who was suspended from ABC talk show,  View for two weeks after her Holocaust remarks, returned to show on Monday. According to People magazine, prominent personality returned alongside Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and guest host Ana Navarro. 

During latest episode, Goldberg said, "Hello, hello, hello and welcome to The View. And yes, I am back” after Behar told her, "We missed you." Reciprocating to love, she said, "I missed you all too. I got to tell you, re's something kind of marvelous about being on a show like this because we are  View and this is what we do. Sometimes we don't do this as eloquently as we could."

As per Variety, two weeks prior, on January 31, Goldberg inaccurately asserted that "Holocaust isn't about race" on View. Despite an apology from host of  View talk show, ABC News President Kim Godwin said she had decided it was t eugh. According to ABC News President, he has given some time to actor to reflect upon her statement. 

In earlier episode, Goldberg said Holocaust was about “man’s inhumanity to man” and “t about race.” When one of her co-hosts challenged that assertion, saying Holocaust was driven by white supremacy, Ms. Goldberg said, “But se are two white groups of people.” Post her remarks, in a later appearance on Stephen Colbert’s  Late Show on Monday, actor apologized and accepted her mistake. Furr, she explained that as a Black person, she thinks of racism as being based on skin color but that she realized t everyone sees it that way.

Goldberg even penned an apology on Twitter in a statement. “On today's show, I said Holocaust 'is t about race, but about man's inhumanity to man'. I should have said it is about both," Goldberg wrote in a Twitter apology. “ Jewish people around world have always had my support and that will never waiver. I'm sorry for hurt I have caused," 66-year-old added. 

 In Monday's opening, Goldberg also said, "It's five minutes to get in important information about topics and that's what we try to do every day. I want to thank everybody who reached out while I was away. People reached out from places that made me go, 'Wait, what, what, really?' And it was amazing."

Though she did t directly discuss controversy, Goldberg told camera that "we're going to keep having tough conversations."I listened to everything everybody had to say and I was very grateful I hope it keeps all important conversations happening because we're going to keep having tough conversations. And in part, because this is what we were hired to do," she said.
