Whoopi Goldberg fessed up to how she honored her late mother, Emma Harris, in none other than the Happiest Place on Earth.
While stopping by Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday night (July 10), Goldberg recalled where she opted to spread her mother’s ashes, but giving viewers the caveat, “no one should do this.”
The View co-anchor explained that her mother “loved Disneyland,” and Goldberg recalled that when she was a kid, “the World’s Fair was here, and it was the introduction of Small World,” which her mother also loved.
“So in the Small World ride, periodically, I’d scoop some of her up, and I do this,” she revealed, proceeding to feign a sneeze. “I said, ‘My God, this cold is getting worse and worse.’ And then we got over to the flowers where it says, ‘Disneyland,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, look at that!’”
However, Goldberg claimed that she came clean to park employees that she had spread her mother’s ashes on the ride, telling host Seth Meyers that she “told them [she] did it.”
“Well, I wanted to make sure, actually, that I hadn’t done something that was dangerous,” she clarified. “But there’s a reason they don’t want ashes just floating around.”
She comically continued, “And I don’t think she would have cared for me to have smoked her. My brother, maybe, but not — Yeah.”
Goldberg’s memoir Bits and Pieces: My Mother, Brother, and Me was released in May of this year, and centers on her life and how both her mother, who died in 2010, and her brother, who passed away in 2015, have impacted her, per People.
Goldberg, who has been absent from The View after contracting COVID-19, described the book as “a love letter to parents” and the people who “raised [her] to be a halfway-decent person” during her Late Night with Seth Meyers appearance.
“I’m not always decent, not always, but halfway,” she added.
In May, she opened up to People about receiving support from Dame Maggie Smith after receiving word that her mother had been put on life support in the wake of an aneurysm.
“Just having somebody who got it, who understood, it’s everything,” she shared at the time.
Late Night with Seth Meyers airs on weeknights at 12:35/11:35c on NBC.
