Joy Behar is taking an extended break from The View.<\/p>\n
The comedian and longtime co-host announced the news on this week’s episode of the show’s Behind the Table podcast.<\/p>\n
In a discussion with the show’s producer, Brian Teta, the 83-year-old confirmed that she’ll miss multiple episodes of the daytime series in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n
“This is your last podcast for a little bit, because next week you’re not going to be here. Are we talking about this?” Teta asked.<\/p>\n
Behar responded drily, “Well, they made me bank the weekend shows even though I’m not here.”<\/p>\n
During her absence, Behar will travel to Europe to present her stage play, My First Ex-Husband, to an international audience after its New York City run.<\/p>\n
“I fly to Paris this week, and then I go take the tunnel to London after a week, and I’ll be in London a second week doing my play at the Boulevard Theatre in the West End,” Behar explained.<\/p>\n
“We have Jackie Hoffman and I, the two American women talking, then we have two British actresses. Doesn’t that sound like fun?”<\/p>\n
Teta revealed that there will be “some folks filling in” for Behar while she’s gone.<\/p>\n
“We’ve already told people that Sheryl Underwood is coming”, Teta said of the popular guest co-host, a Republican comedian who previously served on the panel for daytime series The Talk, which was cancelled in 2024.<\/p>\n
Others filling the gap include Kara Swisher and Ana Navarro. Whoopi Goldberg will step in on Fridays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joy Behar is taking an extended break from The View.
