Joy Behar, host of Joy Behar: Say Anything! on CurrentTV and co-host of ABC's The View, joined longtime friend Joan Hamburg this afternoon to give an exclusive look at her plans for life after The View. Behar recently announced that she has decided to end her 16-year run on the program.
“Things do come to an end, and I decided in my head that 16 years was enough already. I don't want to be on that show when I'm not putting out my best anymore,” she said.
At Joan's suggestion, Joy revealed her plans to take a trip to Europe with husband Steve Janowitz, after her departure in August - or earlier, if she wants to make the most of the summer.
Discussing her show on CurrentTV, now owned by Al Jazeera, Joy commented that she can't see herself spending much more time there due to the network's changes. CurrentTV was also dropped by Time Warner Cable in early January, limiting the availability of Behar's Say Anything! to viewers.
"I think it had to do with the overall ratings of the network - that they couldn't really meet the demands," she said. "Al Jazeera bought the station - which I do not hear about at all - so I don’t know what the hell is going on over there, but probably I’ll be out of there by the end of April.”
Joy Behar: Say Anything! airs on CurrentTV on Monday-Thursday at 9pm.
