Joy Behar Thinks The View Hosts Right Now Are Very Nice, But Says That Hasn’t Been True All ’28 Years’ Of The Show

by

Over the span of 28 years on The View, Joy Behar has seen many co-hosts come and go. Even if you don’t tune in daily according to the 2025 TV schedule, it’s clear that some of the show‘s vibrant personalities have had their fair share of disagreements. While Behar appears to get along well with her current co-stars at the table, she has suggested that this wasn’t always the case in the past.

In a recently re-broadcast episode of “The View” (rest assured, neither Whoopi Goldberg nor Joy Behar have been let go; the show simply took a short break), the panel delved into the themes of female friendships depicted in Season 3 of “The White Lotus”. They pondered whether having siblings during childhood might predispose one to persistently feel competitive with others. Joy Behar, an only child, expressed her unfamiliarity with “toxic” behavior directed towards herself, expressing this sentiment to her fellow hosts.

I don’t remember who’s mean to me, even at this table.

This instance led Alyssa Farah Griffin, one of the conservative panelists joined on The View in 2022 who often clashes with Joy Behar, to argue that “no one here has shown you any rudeness,” to which Behar countered:

Not now. I’m here 28 years.

It’s a valid observation, especially from Alyssa Farah Griffin’s perspective, given that there were undeniably instances when tension flared up between Behar and another co-host in the 25 years leading up to their official partnership with Ana Navarro.

The co-hosts swiftly moved on from the topic, avoiding any hints about whom Joy Behar might have been referring. But in my opinion, it’s hard not to think of Meghan McCain, who still seems to have unresolved issues with the successful daytime talk show hosts even though she departed from The View years ago.

As a film critic reflecting on recent events, I must express my perspective on the departure of the late senator John McCain’s daughter from a popular talk show. It seems her decision to leave was partially influenced by a sharp comment made by Joy Behar that escalated their on-air debates to such an extent that the higher-ups at ABC felt compelled to intervene, aiming to cool the heated exchanges between these two formidable personalities.

As a devoted cinephile, let me say that it’s no secret that personalities and political views don’t always align perfectly, even among the leading ladies of a movie set. In this instance, it’s clear that Meghan McCain’s persona didn’t resonate with Joy Behar in quite the same way as some other characters on their proverbial silver screen.

In 2018, Kid Rock notoriously called one of the co-hosts a “bitch” during an interview on Fox News, which didn’t transpire at “The View”. Additionally, there were reports that Whoopi Goldberg had some personal disagreements with the cast members of “Jersey Shore”, and it was said that she confronted Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi in a restroom, telling her, “You’re not Italian.” When the “Jersey Shore” cast returned to “The View” at a later time, it is alleged that Behar declined to participate in the segment.

Leaving out Liam Neeson’s appearance on “The View” and the mention of Joy Behar’s longtime crush, let me rephrase it for you: Who could overlook the incident involving Liam Neeson on “The View”? The actor was perceived as a bit curt after the interview, given the focus was primarily on his relationship with the co-hosts. Neeson, known for “Taken,” expressed dissatisfaction with their conduct during the segment, labeling it as somewhat awkward and embarrassing.

Let’s wait and find out if Joy Behar shares insights about who she perceives as unkind when discussing such matters on The View. Meanwhile, don’t forget to catch the show’s hosts daily at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
