Leslie Jones was living a dream come true when Whoopi Goldberg stepped in to help when she had a hot flash on air.
The comedian, 58, made a guest appearance on the Tuesday, Dec. 9 episode of The View when she started to have a hot flash, sharing that she’s been going through menopause.
“I’m always hot, babe. I’m in menopause, that pause,” she said. “Oh, I’m in it. I am pause. You know what I’m saying? The heat that comes off of me can light a small city in Guadalajara.”

The audience laughs as the hosts attempt to ask Jones about her new comedy special. But the Saturday Night Live alum can’t concentrate, dapping her face with a towel.
“I’m spritzing,” she says.
Goldberg, 68, then gets out of her seat and comes to cool her off, dabbing her forehead and fanning her with the towel.
“I can die now,” Jones said. “This is a dream come true. Whoopi Goldberg, wiping my sweat.”

After a commercial break, Joy Behar gave Jones a handheld fan and said that should take care of all her issues. But Jones teased that the hot flash had already come and gone.
“I’m good now, I’m freezing,” she quipped as they all burst into laughter.
The View airs weekdays (at 11 a.m. ET) on ABC.
