Whoopi Goldberg Says 'Blazing Saddles' Absolutely Could Be Made Today

In the wake of Kaling’s comments, Goldberg and the rest of the View crew felt the need to address one of the most tired debates in comedy – can boundary-pushing humor survive in today’s politically correct, culturally sensitive climate? The EGOT winner’s answer is a resounding “F— yeah!” – as long as it’s funny.
