Joy Behar reflected on the time she was unceremoniously shafted from The View, insisting that the late Barbara Walters regretted giving her the boot.
Appearing on the Wednesday, September 10 edition of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Behar, 82, recalled being fired “twice” from the show.
“Barbara fired me at one point. Fired me twice, actually,” she explained to Cohen. “Okay, so one of the times that she fired me was just because they decided to fire me. Had something to do with a Democrat and a Republican. That’s what they told me.”
Behar started on The View in 1997 as one of the original panelists until she was let go in 2013. (The TV personality later rejoined the show as a regular cohost in 2015.)
