Whoopi Goldberg Has Tears in Her Eyes During Emotional Segment on ‘The View’ With Billy Crystal…see more

Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal shared an emotional moment on The View that left everyone at home in tears.

The When Harry Met Sally… actor appeared on the talk show on Wednesday, October 23, to discuss one of his latest accolades, being named a Kennedy Center honoree last year.

“It meant a tremendous amount. When you’re chosen for your work, it’s not a competition, a very distinguished board looks at your life’s work. I was incredibly honored,” Billy, 76, told the panelists of the tremendous honor.

“You don’t know who’s going to come to do your presentation at the hall. It was Rob Reiner, Mr. [Robert] De Niro, Marc Shaiman, and then Whoopi walked out and it just sealed the deal for me.”

“You are my family, you’re my big brother, and you have no idea what an honor it is to see you get your due,” the EGOT winner continued. “I love you. You’re a mensch. You’re a national treasure. National treasure. Billy, congratulations.”
