Joy Behar Plans to Retire From 'The View' in 2022
After 21 seasons, Joy Behar has set an exit date from “The View.” Behar, 77, would like to retire as the resident liberal on the ABC daytime talk show after her contract ends in the summer of 2022.
She revealed her plans in a new interview for the paperback of the non-fiction book “Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of ‘The View’” by Variety’s Ramin Setoodeh.
“I have a three-year contract,” Behar said in the book. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t leave if I want to, because they can’t really do anything to me at this point. I don’t see myself staying for more [time]. That’s it! I could be wrong. If I’m as fabulous in [2022] as I am now, I’ll think about. But the chances of that happening…” She paused to reflect. “You know, time marches on. I’m not a kid.”
Multiple sources on “The View” have confirmed that Behar has been floating a 2022 exit from the show.
