from Wikipee:
Quote:
Goldberg stated that her stage forename ("Whoopi") was taken from a whoopee cushion; "When you're performing on stage, you never really have time to go into the bathroom and close the door. So if you get a little gassy, you've got to let it go. So people used to say to me, 'You're like a whoopee cushion.' And that's where the name came from."
Regarding her stage surname, she said in 2011, " Goldberg is my name, it's part of my family, part of my heritage. Just like being black", and "I just know I am Jewish."
