A The View star has been absent for three consecutive days, and a co-host just revealed that an injury has sidelined her.
After Joy Behar, who usually takes Mondays off, missed live broadcasts on Tuesday and Wednesday, co-host Whoopi Goldberg informed The View audience that the comedian had been injured in an unspecified incident.
Goldberg addressed Behar’s absence on Tuesday’s show. “Joy is out today, hopefully she’ll be back tomorrow,” she told the audience. The panel for the day included Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin.
The 69-year-old Goldberg again addressed Behar’s absence on Wednesday, once the co-hosts were seated. She also shed a bit of light on the nature of Behar’s injury.
“Well, hello, hello, hello, and welcome to The View, y’all!”
