We interrupt this broadcast with...Whoopi Goldberg passing gas. 

The 59-year-old host had a smelly snafu on The View this morning when she let out a loud fart on the ABC talk show while the panelists, including Rosie O'DonnellRosie PerezNicolle Wallace and guest-host Ashanti, were discussing flu shots. 

Just as Ashanti was explaining why she chooses not to get the vaccination, Goldberg let one rip—and was seemingly unashamed by the embarrassing moment. 

"Excuse me, oh!" Whoopi exclaimed as she grabbed her booty and stood up from her chair as her fellow moderators erupted into a fit of giggles.

"Woo, woo," she continued, mocking the stench of her on-air fart as O'Donnell grabs a piece of paper and begins wildly fanning the air (those front-row audience members had no idea what was coming!). 

"I feel so much better now," the comedienne added, throwing up her arms with relief. 

And in case there was any question as to what caused Goldberg to unexpectedly pass gas, O'Donnell opted to clarify. 

"You know those breakfast burritos, they kill you," the 52-year-old TV personality said before Whoopi reaffirmed her co-host's sentiments, "They kill ya!"

Believe it or not, this isn't the first time fans have seemingly caught Whoopi passing gas on The View.  

Back in 2011, the actress, after what sounded like a fart was heard on air, exclaimed, "Oh, excuse me! I think I just blew a little frog out of there!"

She later clarified what quickly became known as "fartgate," explaining that she made the noise with her mouth just to have some fun on the show. 

"What actually happened is, there is in me a little kid who just forgets she is an adult on television and when her mind wanders, she just does stuff," she said, adding, "I was in a mood."
