Joy Behar Already Dissing New Husband?

Joy Behar is celebrating the second anniversary of her hit talk show, "The Joy Behar Show," this week and she's been given the best gift she could ask for -- her ratings are up. Plus, she also has someone very special to celebrate with, her new husband Steve Janowitz.

"What do I like more, ratings or being married? Ratings, of course," Behar tells me with a laugh. "It's easier to find a husband than get good ratings."

If that's the case and her numbers keep going in the direction they have been, she might be able to upgrade to George Clooney soon: Behar is up by 43 percent compared to this time last year when it comes to the numbers game. So who are the guests who are helping her do it?

"My favorite guest so far was Catherine Deneuve, because she French kisses; and my least favorite was the Octomom. I was worried she might be having contractions. I wanted to give her an epidural," Behar tells me.

However, on Thursday Behar will find herself in the guest seat when Anderson Cooper makes a surprise appearance and turns the tables on Behar to ask her about her anniversary and very unusual career path. Plus, expect other surprises and video retrospectives.

She has an aggravating voice.

My favortie line from Joy, whom I love, was when people would ask her why she had been with
Steve for so long without marrying. Her response?

"I want a man in my life..... but not in my house."

Of course they moved in together about five years ago but have been together for about 29 years. My very best to them.

By the way, Joy is of Italian decent not Jewish. A lot of people think she's Jewish. She just married two Jewish men.

What an ear and eyesore she is. Her husband likely prefers her working late to forced intimacy as well.

Joy does her job very well. She hosts her nightly show with control and finesse. She most often has an interesting guest or two and I always enjoy her interface with the other comedians or pundits. Her comedy does not appeal to all but it leans heavy on sarcasm and she gears it toward adults, meaning the high school potty humor that Leno relies on is not what her audience expects. And yes, that is a good thing.....in my book.

It's in the old harpie's DNA to be critical of men. She'll never be at peace with men.

You do realize Joy and her husband have been together more than 25 years? lol. He knows what shes like and married her anyway , so I don't see a problem with it.

I just wish she as well as the entire cast of 'the view" would shut up and go away never to be seen or heard from again!

In my opinion, Joy Behar goes out her way to find something...anything...to insult someone and maybe get a laugh at the other person's expense. Just the expressions on her face when someone else is speaking nauseates me. I want to say, "Joy...BE NICE!! Try it and you will find out that you can be well liked without being insulting to others."

If she tried it, she'd be off the air!.

So a distant fourth in her time slot on a cable news channel is considered a hit show??

That is because she doubled her audience, it jumped from one to two.

That's why they invented the remote. Feel free to use it anytime, on any show she's on!.

I have watched her show. I find it more in depth than what can be done on the View. She asks the questions that people would lvoe to ask, but perhaps won't.
She is also a good comedian.
I do watch the view. I also like Whoopie Goldberg on the show as well.
