Joy Behar set for October 27 return to ‘The View’
The program’s representative denied a report that producers wanted to fire the co-host, who has been away with a dislocated shoulder.
Producer Brian Teta indicated that Joy Behar would return to The View on October 27, ending an absence of several weeks after she dislocated her shoulder. The comedian and co-host is 84.
Speaking on the October 26 edition of The View: Behind the Table podcast, Teta said, “Joy is back.” The producer closed with a reference to seeing listeners the next day, pointing to October 27 as her return date.
A separate report alleged that producers had wanted to fire Behar and that her time away had fueled discussion of changes to the panel. A representative for The View rejected that account, telling EW that it was not true.
EW also reported, citing an unnamed source, that staff at the program were looking forward to Behar coming back.
