Whoopi appeared alongside Rosie O’Donnell in a 1990s music video for a song called David Duchovny
Referring to how the homemade video, which also stars Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jerry Springer and Pamela Anderson, came about, David revealed: ‘What happened was there were a couple of PAs on The X-Files who made that video made as a gift for me, I wasn’t involved in that. And they asked all these people who were generous enough to lip-synch to a song they’d never heard.”
Whoopi confirmed this was true and said, “Yes, I’m still asking the question!” as the panel laughed before Sara commented: “He’s blushing!”
Elsewhere in the interview, host Sunny Hostin was shocked when she misunderstood David’s comments about aliens during a discussion on The X-Files.
“You didn’t think it would last more than one season, why?” asked Sunny, 55, while David replied: “Let me think back for a moment. I thought… well, I wasn’t necessarily interested in the subject myself.’
Sunny couldn’t believe what she was hearing and blurted out, “You don’t believe in UFOs?” Don’t you believe in that kind of thing?’ which led David to explain, “It’s not that I don’t believe in them, I just wasn’t that interested in them, so I’m sure they exist.
“I also thought that if this is about aliens, you either see them and the show is over, or you don’t see them and then people get frustrated and shut down. So I didn’t think it had legs, and obviously I was completely wrong,” the actor added.
The X-Files, which also starred Gillian Anderson as FBI Special Agent Dana Scully, was a highly successful science fiction series and David appeared in a total of 191 episodes.
Earlier this month, the actor admitted he regrets working “a lot” when his two children with ex-wife Téa Leoni were young.

‘I certainly worked a lot when my children were young. That’s something I may have changed,” he said during an interview with People.
“But on the other hand, it’s also cool to model someone who is involved in their life for a child. It may also not be best to dedicate your entire existence to your child, so it could go either way…
“I don’t have access to the other path that could have been taken. I just have the one I traveled with, so by no means a perfect parent, but I love my kids. I love my children so much.’
He added: “I felt loved unconditionally by my children… and I love them unconditionally. Just having them in the world has taught me that feeling from both sides, and I don’t think there’s anything deeper or more meaningful than that.
‘I will always feel inadequate [as a parent]. Maybe I was a good parent because my kids are great people, and they probably want to see me as a good parent, too. They don’t want to see me as a failure. I’m sure I’ve done bad things, I’m sure I’ve made mistakes, but we all have. So I try to give myself more rest.’
