Joy Behar, co-host of the popular daytime talk show ‘The View,’ has announced an upcoming break from the show, which she insists is not a hiatus. Instead, Behar will be traveling to London to work on her play, ‘My First Ex-Husband.’
Clarifying the Break
During a recent episode of ‘The View,’ Behar addressed the speculation surrounding her absence. She emphasized that her time away from the show is not a vacation but a professional commitment. ‘I’m working,’ Behar stated, explaining that she has a planned trip overseas to focus on her theatrical project.
Behar’s announcement came after the show’s producer, Brian Teta, mentioned on the ‘Behind the Table’ podcast that she would be absent for a period. This led to media outlets referring to her absence as a hiatus, a term Behar has rejected.
Upcoming Projects
In addition to her work in London, Behar revealed plans for another play, ‘Bonkers in the Boroughs,’ which will be staged in the Hamptons at the end of the summer. She encouraged viewers to visit the official website for her play to learn more about upcoming performances and other projects she is involved in.
Her play ‘My First Ex-Husband’ is described as a bold and heartfelt adaptation of true stories, showcasing Behar’s signature wit and humor. The production features a rotating cast of stars from theater, television, and film, each bringing their unique flair to the narrative.
Support from Co-Hosts
Behar’s co-hosts expressed their support and assured her that she would be missed during her absence. Sara Haines humorously noted, ‘I love that they’re calling it a hiatus. That’s a break, people, when you stop working,’ highlighting the difference between a break and Behar’s working trip.
As Behar prepares for her international endeavor, her co-hosts suggested she could still contribute to the show by sending in jokes from afar, maintaining her presence even while physically absent.
