Whoopi Goldberg (born Caryn Elaine Johnson, November 13, 1955), is an Academy Award, Daytime Emmy Award, Golden Globe, Tony, BAFTA and Grammy Award-winning American comedian and film actress. Although her father was a Protestant preacher, Goldberg says that her family is of mixed religious heritage - including Catholic, Buddhist and Jewish traditions , hailing from a "West Indian" immigrant community. Although she has a religious family heritage, she does not consider herself in any religious order. Her stage name was taken from 'whoopie cushion', which she initially wanted as her name, but chose the last moniker of Goldberg after her mother pointed out that her initial name pick would not look dignified enough to take seriously.

Whoopi is one of only a few individuals (including Barbra Streisand, Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn and Helen Hayes) who have won an Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy, and a Grammy. However, a 2006 Maxim magazine reader poll selected Goldberg as the "3rd Worst Comedian of All Time." Margaret Cho was selected as number two, and Sinbad was number one. *
