Patrick Stewart appearing on ABC’s The View today, ostensibly to promote the debut of his new series Star Trek: Picard premiering on CBS All Access tomorrow night, told View host Whoopi Goldberg he’d officially like her to reprise her Star Trek: The Next Generation role as Guinan.

Stewart said to Goldberg that on behalf of Trek franchise boss Alex Kurtzman, formally invited the actress to return to the 24th Century.

STEWART: I’m here with a formal invitiation. It’s for you, Whoopi. Alex Kurtzman, who is the senior executive producer of ‘Star Trek: Picard’ — and all of his colleagues, of which I am one — want to invite you into the second season.

Please say yes!

GOLDBERG: Yes!

STEWART: Yes!

JOY BEHAR (CO-HOST): You’ll have to tell her to get rid of that [white] hair though, right?

STEWART: She can do whatever the hell she wants!

GOLDBERG: This was one of the great experiences, from beginning to the end, you know? I had the best, best time, the best time ever.

STEWART: Well it was wonderful having you, and we cannot wait to have you with us again one more time.
