Trivia
Goldberg performed the role of Califia, the Queen of California, for a very erotic theater presentation called Golden Dreams at Disney’s California Adventure, the second gate at the Disneyland Resort, in 2000.

In July 2006, Whoopi Goldberg became the main host of the Universal Studios Hollywood Backlot Tour, in which she appears multiple times in video clips shown to the guests on monitors placed on the trams.

In August 2006, after multiple disruptions of her radio show by the fanbase of the Opie and Anthony show on XM Satellite Radio and various terrestrial stations, primarily on CBS Radio, Goldberg had a good-natured on-air discussion with the “shock jocks,” which immediately quelled any possible “war” between the two shows.

In 2006 a Maxim magazine reader poll selected Goldberg as the “3rd Worst Comedian of All Time.” Margaret Cho was selected as number two, and Sinbad was number one.[source : wikipedia]
