After more than 16 years on the show, “The View” co-host Joy Behar, 70, will be exiting this summer.
Deadline.com reports Behar’s contract is up in August, and she told the producers she did not want to renew.

The comedian also hosted her own show on HLN and would like to do a new interview show. She said, “I do like talk shows, I’m interested in talking to people.”
Behar will be sad to leave “The View.” She said, “I have a lot of friends there, and I will miss everyone I’ve worked with because we have a family there.”
She singled out co-host Barbara Walters, thanking the veteran journalist for putting her on the show. “It is a smart talk show because somebody of her stature is leading the conversation; Barbara was one of the main reasons I took that job."

Can't believe it is still on the air. A very irritating show.
Thank Goodness...she is the most intolerable liberal I have ever met. Good riddance. I find her terribly offensive and disrespectful.
Whatever Joy Behar does I'm sure she'll be fabulous at it, while I'll miss seeing her on the View, after 16 years on the View, it's time for her to go on to bigger and better things. I've no doubt we'll continue to see her and as always she'll make us laugh.
Best of luck you, Joy. Love ya!
