I said, 'It'll never work.' I said, 'Whoopi's great, but it'll never work.' And then it was great and huge, and I'm a f---ing idiot." Fox is known as someone who knows how to make a joke, and he thinks that he turned out to be a real idiot.
"It shows I can be an idiot, too," he said. Goldberg has enormous respect for Fox. They have been friends for many years. "You did me a solid, you did me a favor," Goldberg said.
