The View chaos as Whoopie Goldberg in 'awkward' clash with crew in front of Liam Neeson

The View descended into chaos as Whoopie Goldberg clashed with a member of the show's crew in an "awkward" confrontation in front of Liam Neeson.

He was promoting new movie MARLOWE and joined the panel on the hit-ABC TV show this morning – with some viewers saying the chat was "full of silence".

Conversation was already slightly dry as Liam looked noticeably uncomfortable when producers played dozens of clips of host Joy declaring her love for the film star.

"I'm sorry, I'm speechless," Joy admitted after the videos were played in front of Liam. "How embarrassing when they put them together like that." Liam replied: "I know."

The room went silent as Whoopi looked down the camera and at the crew before saying: "Well I'm trying to figure... erm, yes?"

"Is that it," asked another member of the panel before Whoopi began shouting at the crew. "You keep throwing stuff up," she blasted.

"You don't tell me what I'm doing," she shouted as everyone looked extremely awkward. Crew were then forced to get involved, live on-air.

Crew member Brian shouted off-camera: "We've run out of time, but we do have more time with Mr Neeson."

All before Whoopi came back with: "Well then why don't you say that to him?" Some members of the audience gasped during the cringeworthy back-and-fourth.

The director nervously announced: "If you stick around we'll have more with you in a moment..." As it went silent again, some of the panel nervously laughed.

"We'll be right back," Brian added. Liam was then seen on camera looking around, seemingly wondering what had happened to his interview.

Viewers quickly flocked to social media after watching the horrifying confrontation play out live on-air, with one Tweeting: "This interview is awkward as f***."

"This interview with Liam Neeson is full of silence and dead air, yet they're continuing it for another segment," blasted another confused viewer on social media.

A third Tweeted: "Ok now Whoopi, don't tell the producer to do your job. You're in the main seat, not him." While another viewer wrote: "Whoopi vs Brian...I live for these moments!"
