A holy trinity of comedy, chaos, and cult‑cinema royalty storms ABC’s longest‑running daytime talk show.
A holy trinity much? The fantastic trio Aubrey Plaza, John Waters, and Amy Sedaris descended upon “The View” — and the result was a deliriously unhinged, laugh‑til‑you‑snort segment that Whoopi Goldberg and the gang could barely keep contained.
But let’s be clear: This appearance belonged to John Waters, the Pope of Trash himself, who at 80 years old is still sharper, funnier, and more culturally dangerous than anyone else on daytime TV.

From the moment Whoopi introduced them, the energy was pure chaos. Aubrey was already spiraling into her signature deadpan absurdity, Amy was bouncing off the walls with cartoon‑dog energy, and John Waters… well, he was being John Waters — which is to say, iconic.
Waters spoke about his “Going to Extremes” 80th Birthday Celebration Tour, dropping the kind of wicked, razor‑edged humor only he can deliver. At one point he recalled Whoopi sending flowers to Divine’s funeral with the message: “See what a good review will do?” A moment so perfectly Watersian it practically rewrote the air in the studio .
He also dove into politics with his trademark irreverence, explaining that humor is his weapon of choice: “You use humor to win in politics. You make people laugh and you can change their mind.” And in true Waters fashion, he declared that Trump “ruined bad taste” because “it’s no fun anymore,” calling him the “ultimate hair hopper” — a Baltimore term he gleefully defined on air .
Meanwhile, Aubrey Plaza and Amy Sedaris brought their own brand of delightful derangement, riffing on voice acting, misfit pets, and the creation of their animated series Kevin, inspired by Plaza’s real‑life cat and Queens‑era chaos. But every time Waters opened his mouth, the room shifted — the man is a gravitational field of camp brilliance.
Whoopi and the panel were living for it. The audience was living for it. And honestly? So were we.
