Joy Behar, the frequently factually-challenged co-host of The View, will be taking over the 9 p.m. time slot on HLN that’s currently home to a repeat of the Lou Dobbs Show.
Hard to believe, but HLN is so desperate for viewers that it’s stealing a page from MSNBC’s playbook by giving an opinionated, but idiotic liberal their own primetime program. This strategy would make more sense if MSNBC were a ratings success, but it’s shedding viewers faster than a snake can shed its skin (No, that was not a Keith Olbermann reference, although we understand why you may have interpreted it that way).
According to the New York Times, “HLN, the opinionated sister channel of CNN, hopes to raise its prime time ratings with the addition of Ms. Behar, who is well known for her comedic and sometimes controversial sensibility.”
The tentatively and cleverly titled “Joy Behar Show” will probably begin in September. She promised it would be “topical and fun.
Fun? Guaranteed it will be a lot more fun if this doofus diva has conservative guests like Ann Coulter or Bill O’Rielly, but as these embedded clips demonstrate, Behar quickly gets in over her head and resorts to name-calling when she’s challenged.
Come to think of it, if she’d just have Ann Coulter on every night, it could be a lot of fun.

Let’s see, nine o’clock…The Joy Bahar Show or Hannity – such a difficult decision!
you know, i dont get how ANYBODY finds her funny, infact, if there are two “comic”s that apparently are funnier than anything i like, but arent actually funny, its joy and kathy griffon (sp?)
all these people that laugh at these two(and others like them) have to be retarded, there is just no freaking way
even john stewart is funnier :/
Comedians make people laugh. She is one of the most depressing women I’ve seen. Her time spent on the view,( I’ve seen when another show would air clips) demonstrated no comedic or intelligent behavior. She is just an old worn out unhappy jealous hag that is talented in gossiping and whining.
Joy Behar is one of the most obnoxious, uncharismatic, opinionated arrogant woman that can exist. Channel 45 has added one more flop to their programming. Who will want to watch this jealous woman who doesn’t deal with facts and truth, but with her subjective, emotional reactions to those that do not share her views. She is the dark cloud on The View. She is the reason people switch channels when she appears on The View. This program will fail miserably as it well deserves it. Your ratings will even go down further, how desperate are you? I agree… Joy Behar is the Hour of Ignorance!!!
When The View participants walk out, I turn them OFF if Joy Behar appears. PERIOD No exception.
