"Winner of three MAC awards and a CableACE Award!"
 Joy Behar (bay'-har)
is an American comedian, writer, and actress. She co-hosts the ABC daytime talk
show The View. She hosted The Joy Behar Show on HLN from 2009 to 2011 and
Joy Behar: Say Anything! on Current TV, from 2012 until the channel
switched formats in August 2013. Behar's latest weekly late-night talk show,
Late Night Joy, aired on TLC in 2015. She also wrote The Great Gasbag: An
A–Z Study Guide to Surviving Trump World.
Joy Behar is among today's leading comic
talents. Whether mixing with audiences or interviewing politicians and artists, she dives
into absurd juxtapositions, her aim being not to sneer, but to uncover absurdities –
especially those perpetrated by big guys on little ones. With a voice that sounds, as she
says, "like I have Jimmy Hoffa in the back of my throat," she strips the varnish
off pretensions.
 Armed with a M.A. in English education from S.U.N.Y.
at Stony Brook, Behar
originally began a career in the teaching field. She then set out to pursue comedy
professionally, and immediately received bookings from famous New York clubs, such as
Catch a Rising Star and Caroline's. Behar went on to win three MAC awards and a CableACE
Award.
On television, Joy Behar starred in her own cable special and was a regular
on the series, "Baby Boom", as well as the pilot, "The Rock". Other
appearances include the voice of a hilariously neurotic patient on "Dr. Katz",
for which she won the CableACE Award. She has been a frequent member of the discussion
panel of the critically acclaimed "Politically Incorrect". Joy Behar
also served as correspondent for COMEDY CENTRAL, covering the Democratic National
Convention.
She hosted a popular call-in radio show on WABC for three years, where
she discussed politics with a deadly humorous bent. She has also appeared in such films as
"Cookie" with Peter Falk and Renee Taylor, and Joe Bologna's "Love Is All
There Is" and "This Is My Life" directed by Nora Ephron and in Woody Allen's
"Manhattan Murder Mystery".
Joy Behar had a successful run in the off-Broadway hit, "The Food
Chain", where she earned rave reviews in the starring role. After that,
she had a Broadway
appearance at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, in Alexander Cohen's production of
"Comedy Tonight" with Mort Sahl and Dorothy Loudon.
