If a seat opens up at the "Hot Topics" table on The View, Whoopi Goldberg knows just the person to invite to New York City. "I'd like to have Pope Leo asking people questions," Goldberg, 70, exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the Disney Upfronts on Tuesday, May 12. "As an American Pope, it would be great to sit with him, and it'd be great for him to sit with us." Ever since Pope Leo, 70, was elected the leader of the Catholic church in May 2025, he has been a topic of conversation on ABC's daytime talk show.
