Joy Behar was absent for a majority of episodes of The View during the first week of 2025. Viewers were curious why the TV personality wasn’t sitting alongside her cohosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines,

Behar said she's "still a little sick" when her cohosts laughed at her immediately repeating Goldberg's talking point about Project 2025.

Joy Behar is still not back on The View, much to the disappointment of her loyal fans. The longtime co-host has been out since Monday (Feb. 3), which was not unusual for her since she works four days per week on the show, but her absence since Tuesday (Feb. 4) has been very much felt around the Hot Topics table.

Joy Behar has returned to The View after a week-long absence, revealing the personal struggles that kept her away.
