Joy is a multitalented individual and has worked in various positions, including as an actress, writer, and comedian.
Currently, Behar is receiving criticism for a recent joke about a gay NFL player, which has been deemed “too insensitive.” Perhaps, the P.C. Culture is too much work for the 78-year-old to handle!

Gay Comment: What Did Joy Behar Say Today?
Joy Behar is currently facing backlash for an insensitive comment towards NFL player Carl Nassib.
Carl recently came out as a gay man, becoming the first active player in NFL history to do so. And, as Nassib’s comment was being celebrated as a landmark by the LGBTQ+ community, Joy came forward with her prejudiced comment.
The exact words Behar said are too homophobic to be mentioned. All we can say is that the TV host twisted the innocent NFL term “penetration in the end” into a perverted joke.
Joy later tried to justify her statement claiming that an athlete coming out wasn’t a “big deal.” She also urged her viewers to ignore her offensive comment about Carl. However, her casual apology was “too little, too late” by then.
@JoyVBehar says forget about the joke she told on “daytime” tv about the gay NFL player.
Nah. Just your true colors coming out. Like the blackface you wore then claimed you didn’t.
You would be screaming if it was a conservative that told YOUR joke.#Hypocrites #JoyBehar
