Joy Behar Leaving “The View”


The end of an era. Joy Behar, love her or hate her (are you liberal or conservative?), has been the loud, boisterous auntie to Barbara Walters’s wizened grandmother for the past 16 years on ABC’s “The View.” Well, enjoy your retirement, you deserve it. Oh, sorry, what’s that? You have another show called “Joy Behar: Say Anything!”on Current TV? Excuse me, I’ll start watching as soon as I figure out if I have that channel. How long after Joy leaves (in five months) until brittle conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck starts talking passive-aggressive smack about Current TV and its two most recent owners, Al Gore and Al Jazeera?
