Joy Behar Jokes About Being ‘Forced’ Off ‘The View’ in 2013: ’A Small Hiatus’

Pat Sajak is retiring after 41 seasons, and the show undoubtedly won’t be the same without him. But eventually, someone will have to step in — and Whoopi Goldberg is very much interested in being that person, apparently.Whoopi revealed as much on Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” during the panel’s interview with “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings.

For the second day in a week, The View is making headlines over their heated debates on the ABC talk show as the presidential elections inch closer.

“The View” hasn’t seen a truly heated fight at the table in quite some time, but that streak ended on Wednesday when the first segment of the show ended in a near-yelling match between hosts Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin, which moderator Whoopi Goldberg cut off by sending the show to commercial.Leading up to the argument was a discussion about former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey governor Chris Christie both officially declaring their candidacy for president in 2024. Once again, the women agreed that they don’t really see a lane for either man to have a real shot in the GOP pool, and wondered why they’re running at all.Knowing that Farah Griffin worked directly for Pence, both Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar looked to her for insight on what Pence’s strategy might actually be, and what she thinks of his candidacy.

She and her fellow co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Haines were debating whether women and men can really be just friends. Haines agreed, saying «I do too,» just as Behar playfully told her to «shut up.» «He's mine,» she added as the group laughed around her. Though it was fairly clear the clapback was in jest, Behar told ET in 2022 that «a heated conversation is always fun.» The women continued the debate about the group's EP.

If twice-impeached-once-indicted former president Trump does end up in prison, the hosts of “The View” are a bit worried about him. Not about his well-being or anything, but about whether he’ll still run for president — and his designated clothing.To kick off Wednesday’s Hot Topics discussion, the women marveled at the idea of any presidential candidate considering a pardon for Trump for his actions leading to the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Host Sunny Hostin was particularly floored by those comparing a Trump pardon to Richard Nixon’s pardon.“Nixon resigned!” Hostin exclaimed.

Joy Behar’s comment that the GOP presidential hopeful “doesn’t get” systemic racism, calling it “literally the dumbest most offensive thing I’ve witnessed on TV.”Last week, in response to Scott’s announcement that he was running in the GOP primary, Behar compared Scott, who is Black, to Clarence Thomas, saying: “He’s one of those guys … Black Republican who believes in pulling yourself by your bootstraps, rather than, to me, understanding the systemic racism that African Americans face in this country, and other minorities. He doesn’t get it.

Whoopi Goldberg is not buying the car chase reports!

Whoopi Goldberg is questioning Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s recounting of their car chase in New York City earlier this week.

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg was somewhat skeptical Thursday of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's account of the "near-catastrophic car chase" they were in after attending a New York City event this week, saying it "just doesn't work in New York." Calling it some "wacky stuff," Goldberg recounted how the spokesperson for Harry and Meghan used the loaded language to describe how their taxi was pursued by paparazzi. Following an event where the Duchess of Sussex received the 2023 Woman of Vision Award from Gloria Steinem, Markle, her husband and her mother, Doria Ragland, were pursued by swarms of photographers for "over two hours," which resulted in "multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road," according to a spokesperson for the royal couple.

Not buying it. Whoopi Goldberg weighed in on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s involvement in a “near catastrophic” car chase.
