‘The View’s Joy Behar Returns After 4 Week Absence, Explains ‘Worse Than Childbirth’ Injury

“The Bitch Is Back” was the new intro theme music for The View on Tuesday (October 27) to celebrate the long-awaited return of Joy Behar to her seat on the panel.

After being absent for almost all of October due to a dislocated shoulder, Behar reacted to the intro tune, saying, “They played ‘The Bitch Is Back,’ they should’ve played ‘God Save the Queen’!”

Behar was welcomed with a chorus of applause and cheers from the crowd, with several shouting that they missed her, and she replied to say, “I know! I missed you, too. That’s why I came back today.”

She went on to say, “I fell bad. I went down in this building.” Whoopi Goldberg then confirmed that she actually heard Behar being injured before Behar continued, “I dislocated my shoulder. I don’t know if that’s ever happened to anybody [here], but that’s worse than childbirth. I would have given up names to the CIA with that kind of torture.”

Speaking of torture, Behar said that she was sad to miss out on some of the biggest “Hot Topics” that were covered in her absence — particularly Donald Trump‘s repeated evaluations of others’ bottoms.

“Trump talking about all these asses he’s been looking at… it’s like when he said, how does this go now? Let me think. ‘When you’re a star, they let you do it.’ Now it’s grab them by the tushy,” she joked.

She then continued, “I mean, even when I went down and went to the hospital, the doctor didn’t look at my ass like that, with such love and affection.”

“She’s back!” Alyssa Farah Griffin then said.

“Did we mention we missed you?” Sara Haines agreed.

Behar then took a more serious tone to say, “I missed you all very much. All the people who work here are so divine. I mean, I really do miss this place when I’m not here.”
