‘The View’: Joy Behar Not Holding Back, ‘Taking Aim at Everyone’ Between Pages of New Book
The View star Joy Behar’s new book is pointing fingers at everyone, including herself. The latest book from Behar will be published in late 2024 or early 2025. The project promises Behar will be “taking aim at everyone,” but what does that mean?
Joy Behar’s new book will ‘take aim at everyone and everything’ in new book
The View host’s latest project comes from publisher, Regalo Press. Joy Behar’s sixth book won’t hold back on little life details.
Behar, 81, will reportedly share stories on various subjects that span life, love, and relationships. It is as yet untitled. The book will not be released for at least a year. However, the publisher says fans can expect Behar to “take aim at everyone and everything, including herself.”
Joy Behar kept a diary during one season of ‘The View’
On the Oct. 25, 2023, episode of the Behind the Table podcast, Joy Behar and The View producer Brian Teta discussed celebrity memoirs. Teta asked Behar if she ever journaled her thoughts on all she had seen during her years as a panelist on the long-running ABC talk series.
She confessed she “kept a diary” the first year Rosie O’Donnell was on the show. “The one year that Rosie O’Donnell was on the show, I kept a diary,” Behar admitted.
O’Donnell exited the show after one season as a moderator following her famous on-air clash with Elisabeth Hasselbeck. She returned in season 18.
The View fans would likely enjoy Behar’s behind-the-scenes take on the show. However, the talk show host keeps those recollections close to her chest.
“I know they would, but I don’t like to do that. I don’t talk about The View much,” the host replied. “Andy Cohen is on his knees begging me to do a book,” Behar added.
How many books has Joy Behar written?
Joy Behar has written five books thus far. Two were marketed directly to children.
The titles include Joy Shtick: Or What is the Existential Vacuum and Does It Come with Attachments,
When You Need a Lift: But Don’t Want to Eat Chocolate, Pay a Shrink, or Drink a Bottle of Gin, and The Great Gasbag: An A-to-Z Study Guide to Surviving Trump World.
Behar’s two children’s books include SheetzuCacaPoopoo: My Kind of Dog and
SheetzuCacaPoopoo: Max Goes to the Dogs.
Additionally, “Joy Behar’s Banned Book Club” has been a recurring segment on The View since March 2023. Behar has been a panelist on The View since its first season, which aired in 1997. In 2013, Behar was briefly fired from the daytime series but ultimately brought back in 2015.
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
