“I’m here with a formal invitation, and it’s for you, Whoopi,” said Stewart on The View this morning. “Alex Kurtzman, who is the senior executive producer of Star Trek: Picard, and all his colleagues, of which I am one, want to invite you into the second season." Goldberg, who recurred as bartender Guinan (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctpeJxGtiec) on Star Trek: The Next Generation, choked up in her response: "I’ve said this on the show before, but Star Trek was one of the great experiences, from the beginning to the end,” Goldberg said. "I had the best, best, best time ever.”

The Season 2 trailer for the Paramount+ series offers a glimpse of Goldberg reprising her El-Aurian bar hostess Guinan role. “I’m going to need some tea: Earl Grey, piping hot,” she says to an emotional Picard. Patrick Stewart formally invited Goldberg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLHqfW-bRwI) to appear on Picard during a January 2020 appearance on The View.
