When Whoopi Goldberg returned to “The View” Tuesday after grieving the loss of her brother, the ABC crowd gave her a heartfelt welcome. “Whoopi! Whoopi! Whoopi!” the studio audience chanted as Goldberg’s co-hosts joined in a standing ovation. Then the ladies got down to business.

“What if there are other people in the building?” “The View” first chair concluded. “What if there are other families next door? Lindsey! Think about this, dummy!”
Raven-Symone and Nicole Collins were guest panelists on Tuesday’s show, which also featured appearances by hip-hop star Pitbull and “The Bachelorette” host Chris Harrison.
