The moment happened toward the end of the episode, as Sunny worked to ask Keke about one of her new projects.

“Well, you’re also starring,” she began, before taking a moment and holding up one of her note cards. “I gotta get some information on this.”

Sunny continued, bringing up Keke’s role in Jordan Peele’s upcoming horror film, Nope, which earned a round of applause from the audience.

The View host, though, kept talking about how it’s annoying that no one can reveal anything about it and how excited she is to see the movie.

After she rambled for a little while longer, Whoopi decided enough was enough and interrupted it.

“Ask this child this question,” the moderator demanded. “Please!”

Fans were shocked by Whoopi cutting off Sunny and practically telling her to hurry it up.

One fan tweeted: “Whoopi stays on Sunny's neck.”

Another shocked viewer wrote: “Wish Whoopi would treat Sunny with more respect.”

A third just said: “I wish I had a dollar for every time Whoopi gets exasperated with Sunny. 

“It’s just always so funny each time.”

Defending Whoopi, one The View fan tweeted: “You have to admit, Sunny does give a synopsis before asking the question.”

This comes after Whoopi suffered a blunder involving Sunny on the talk show earlier this week.

While The View is mostly made up of live moments, a taped component was shown about halfway through the latest episode.

In it, one of the show’s superfans, Dominique, was surprised by an appearance from host Sunny Hostin and with getting to be in front of a studio audience.

After their prerecorded conversation finished airing, The View came back to being a live show, and Whoopi was ready to move the show along, though the teleprompter had other plans.

As the full hosting panel came into view, Whoopi started to move onto the next portion of the day’s show, saying: “So, since there’s nothing–“

The moderator abruptly cut herself off as she realized she’d made a mistake with what she was reading on the prompter.

“Oh, I guess– now, it says, ‘Sunny ad-lib,’” Whoopi read, looking confused.

Sunny helped her out, explaining: “Oh, I think they wanted me to fill everyone in [on Dominique now].”

The other co-hosts could be heard laughing about the confusion in the background.

Just a couple of weeks ago, fans mocked Whoopi on social media for making another big blunder on The View.

The mishap arrived as Whoopi brought up an incident that recently took place in the art world at the Louvre.

Fans, though, were less focused on the topic at hand and more interested in how the View moderator was pronouncing the name of the museum.

One surprised viewer asked: “Did Whoopi say the LOO-va?”

The user also added a gif of someone scratching their neck and looking a bit confused.

Another wrote, “The way Whoopi just pronounced the Louvre,” including with it a gif of a woman cringing.
