Joy Behar’s absence from The View has raised concerns among fans, but Whoopi Goldberg has provided clarity on the situation. During a recent taping of the talk show, Goldberg explained that Behar is currently sidelined due to a foot injury. She expressed hope that Behar would return to the show soon, stating, “Now, Joy is out because she hurt her foot, and hopefully she’ll be back here tomorrow.”
Behar, who has been a key figure on The View since its inception in 1997, has been noticeably absent since November 10. Reflecting on her career, Behar recently recalled how she was on the verge of landing a sitcom when she received the offer to join The View, a decision she ultimately found to be a wise one despite initial concerns from her agent regarding the pay.
Goldberg, who joined the show in 2007, has continued to draw attention for her candid remarks. Earlier this year, she stirred discussion when she revealed that she hasn’t worn a bra in five decades during a jovial exchange with Behar, who had commented on her comfort.
As fans eagerly await Behar’s return, it seems that her contributions to the show remain valued and hopeful. The camaraderie between the hosts continues to resonate strongly with the audience, affirming the show’s enduring appeal.
