Goldberg was involved in controversy at a fundraiser for [[John Kerry]] at [[Radio City Music Hall]] in New York in July 2004 when she made a sexual joke about President [[George W.

As result, [[Slim-Fast]] dropped her from their ad campaign.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/jul/16/uselections2004.film|first1=Dan|last1=Glaister|title=Goldberg dropped from diet ads over Bush joke|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=July 16, 2004|access-date=December 18, 2016|archive-date=December 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171231051747/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/jul/16/uselections2004.film|url-status=live}}</ref> Later that year, she revived her one-woman show at the [[Lyceum Theatre (Broadway)|Lyceum Theatre]] on Broadway in honor of its 20th anniversary; [[Charles Isherwood]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' called the opening night performance an "intermittently funny but sluggish evening of comic portraiture".<ref name="NYT"/> Goldberg made guest appearances on ''[[Everybody Hates Chris]]'' as elderly character Louise Clarkson.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/whoopi_goldberg|title=Whoopi Goldberg|website=Rotten Tomatoes|access-date=May 14, 2019|archive-date=April 18, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190418154211/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/whoopi_goldberg|url-status=live}}</ref>
