Whoopi Goldberg

The iconic comedian Whoopi Goldberg was born Caryn Johnson. While guesting on "The Graham Norton Show," she revealed that her stage name derives from a whoopee cushion. "No one christened me that. I am Karen, but I was a bit of a farter," she joked. "The theatres I was performing in were very small so if you were gassy you had to walk away farting and people would say I was like a Whoopee cushion. I was sometimes quite noisy, never offensive."
