Joy Behar Returns to ‘The View’ After Month-Long Absence Due to Shoulder Injury

Joy Behar made a triumphant return to ABC’s ‘The View’ on Tuesday, ending a nearly month-long absence caused by a dislocated shoulder from an accident. The studio audience erupted in cheers as Elton John’s ‘The Bitch Is Back’ played, a fitting anthem for the outspoken co-host’s comeback. Behar joked that they should have played ‘God Save the Queen’ instead, showcasing her signature humor. Her return restores the show’s full panel after weeks of guest co-hosts, and fans have eagerly awaited her perspective on current events. The injury had kept her off air since early March, but she appeared in good spirits and ready to dive back into hot topics. With the 2024 election season heating up, Behar’s sharp commentary is back when it matters most.
