Joy Behar has missed three consecutive episodes of The View, with moderator Whoopi Goldberg revealing a health update for the 83-year-old comedian.
After Behar, who typically has Mondays off from the Hot Topics table, also missed live broadcasts on Tuesday and Wednesday, Goldberg informed the audience that the star was injured in an undisclosed incident.
“Joy is out today, hopefully she’ll be back tomorrow,” Goldberg told the audience on Tuesday, before the panel — which included herself, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin — interviewed Sen. John Fetterman about his decision to side with Republicans in a vote to end the longest government shutdown in American history.
On Wednesday, after the cohosts sat at the table, Goldberg again addressed Behar’s absence.

“Well, hello, hello, hello, and welcome to The View, y’all!” the 69-year-old said at the top of Wednesday’s show.
She continued, “Now, Joy is out because she hurt her foot, and hopefully she’ll be back here tomorrow.”
Goldberg made light of the cohosts’ status in the studio as well, telling the audience, “I’m sitting like this because I’m cold as hell. I don’t know why it’s so cold in this room, but every day we beg and plead, ‘Please, can we have a little heat?’ And they say, ‘No, make your own!’”
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to a representative for The View for more information on Behar’s condition.
Even without Behar at the table, The View cohosts made headlines this week — particularly for the aforementioned interview with Sen. Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
During the conversation, Hostin directly confronted the politician one day after she staunchly criticized him as one of eight Democrats who sided with GOP officials in a vote to end the six-week United States government shutdown.
Hostin, a legal expert and former federal prosecutor, told Fetterman that “you had momentum,” given the blue wave of Democratic victories on Election Day, before asking, “Why give in now? Why bring a butter knife to a gun fight?”

After invoking the name of conservative Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who opposed Republican and Democratic handling of the shutdown, she continued, “Are you willing to gamble that the GOP will negotiate in good faith once the government reopens, because if that gamble is wrong, half a million Pennsylvanians that you represent, their healthcare costs will skyrocket if you’re wrong? And I believe you are wrong.”
Fetterman responded, “Well, first of all, Marjorie Taylor Greene is quite literally the last person in America that I’m going to take advice to get my leadership and values from. If Democrats are celebrating crazypants like that, that’s on them.”
“I don’t need a lecture,’ Fetterman went on. “I don’t need lecture from, whether it’s Bernie [Sanders] or the governor in California, because they’re representing very deep blue populations and a lot of those things were part of the extreme.”
The View airs weekdays on ABC.
