IS WHOOPI TRYING TO SAVE SHERRY ?

Is Whoopi trying to help or hurt Sherry ? It seems that Whoopi doesn't think Sherry is keeping up with world events . It seems like she doesn't know what the show is about. She is not preparing for the next day's show. It takes more than smiling and agreeing with everyone else. I think Whoopi is mentoring Sherri.

It looks like Whoopi is taking her questions from "What Every 5th Grader Should Know "! Maybe Whoopi's grandkids know the answers to these questions. I don't watch the show but , I see comments or highlights on late night cable.
