There was one red-headed comedian missing from this morning’s episode of The View. Joy Behar, who has been a co-host on the daytime talk show ever since it first aired in 1997, was noticeably replaced by Ana Navarro today. But why? Luckily, we have you covered on everything you need to know about your favorite co-host.

The last time we saw Behar was on Friday (July 11) when she was filling in as moderator for Whoopi Goldberg. Behar is typically off on Mondays, so we haven’t seen her back on our screens this week. However, it shouldn’t be long until she returns to her normal spot at the Hot Topics table.

So, why wasn’t Behar on The View today? And when will she be back? Keep reading to find out!

Why wasn’t Joy Behar on The View today?

We’re not sure why Behar wasn’t on The View today, but we hope she’s enjoying her long weekend!

When is Joy Behar coming back to The View?

This is the million-dollar question. Executive producer Brian Teta announced that Behar would be back tomorrow (Wednesday, July 16). However, Goldberg seemed to think there was a chance we wouldn’t see her for a couple of days.

“Joy is out today. She’ll possibly be back tomorrow. But who can say? Who can say?” she said. When Teta confirmed that Behar will return tomorrow, Goldberg added, “Brian can say. But if she’s not, she’ll be back the day after. Because she’ll be back.”
