Deal or no deal: Whoopi Goldberg gives Meghan Markle a stark lesson in showbiz

Whoopi Goldberg put remarks made by Meghan Markle about the entertainment industry into perspective Wednesday after the Duchess of Sussex said she cut short her modeling gig on the game show "Deal or No Deal" because of how it made her feel.

"OK. I just want to say that on that show, you basically had a suitcase and they wanted to know 'Is this the deal you want or this is not the deal you want?," "The View" co-host quipped on Wednesday's episode, summarizing the duchess' job description on the program. "I don't know that the people who are sitting there are thinking about you like that. They're thinking, 'I want the money.'"

The duchess revealed on a recent episode of her "Archetypes" podcast that modeling with a money-bearing briefcase on the show made her feel like a "bimbo" who had "all looks and little substance."
