Dan DiDio informed his Facebook followers Thursday that he was set to appear on today's episode of tje daytime talk show The View, and the DC Entertainment co-publisher did appear -- not as an in-studio guest, but as one of several industry dignitaries who interacted with co-host Whoopi Goldberg at New York Comic Con.

Goldberg explained at the beginning of the segment that she attended the convention seeking advice on how to get her comic book idea published. In addition to DiDio, Goldberg -- already a part of geek culture due to her role as Guinan on Star Trek: The Next Generation -- sought the counsel of Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada, Kevin Smith, Seth Green, Clare Grant, Ronald D. Moore, Diana Gabaldon, True Blood's Kristin Bauer van Straten and more, in a comedic montage segment.

"The greatest thing I discovered is it's really family oriented," Goldberg said of the event. "People come dressed with their families. ... They're happy to be there." Watch the segment below.
