WHOOPI GOLDBERG, KEY FIGURE IN RON HOWARD BEATLES DOC

Ron Howard's new documentary on The Beatles will have...

No, not exactly a lot of new footage. What hasn't been discovered by now?

The two great things about it is that a) it was NOT done by Ken Burns, and b) it features NEW interview footage from Beatles experts like Whoopi Goldberg!

Whoopi, of course, is the primary host of one of American TV's most hard-hitting, dynamic news programs, "The View." She's written books, won major entertainment awards, AND was at Shea Stadium for that famous Beatles concert. So who else could provide valuable insight?

Combing through the archives, Ron Howard found a photo of Whoopi amid the crowd of NYC Beatles fans welcoming the "mop top" quartet to America.

The genius Ron Howard will spice up the documentary with recreations of classic moments in the lives of The Beatles. For example, according to Whoopi, she was the maid who had to clean up John & Yoko's "Bed In."

After she emptied the ash trays, John and Yoko invited her to share their bed for a photo op, but as you see, she wasn't happy.

She thought John was singing an old song for her, and offering her a good time. But "Makin' Whoopie" was a different spelling. No wonder she looks unsatisfied.

However, before The Beatles broke up, they performed their famous "Rooftop Concert," and a young comedian-actress-mortician by the name of Caryn Johnson (as she was then known) offered to join in.

She fitted her breasts with whoopee cushions, and helped Ringo with unusual percussion effects but, sadly, the producers of the film edited her out completely. Some said the whole thing wasn't PC, but Paul McCartney himself said it was PC - "Pretty crappy."

Phil Spector erased her noises from the soundtrack, and even threatened her with his own farts. As most know, Phil's farts could be lethal. Everyone was afraid of him.

But ultimately Ron Howard's documentary has the most amazing reveal.

WHOOPI was actually the WALRUS!
