Are Bette Midler and Joy Behar Related?

Joy Behar, host of “The View”, has been compared to Bette Midler. Both women were born November 26, 1970, and both had a love of music and movies. However, it’s not as if their careers have parallels. They’ve made their own names in the entertainment industry, and they’ve had plenty of opportunities to shine in the spotlight. In fact, both have performed on stage, in films, and on TV.

Before she became the newest panelist on “The View”, Behar worked on several shows, including Good Morning America. She also hosted her own television show called Way Off Broadway, which aired on Lifetime. After a stint as a filler, Behar joined “The View” for its first season in 1997.

Bette Midler has had a long and illustrious career, but it’s not all good news for her. Midler has suffered from a number of health issues, but she and her husband, Martin von Haselberg, have a 35-year-old daughter, Sophie. A former model, Midler also starred in a Broadway musical, Hello, Dolly!, which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.

But Bette’s fans have helped her deal with her pain. Fans have encouraged her to stay healthy as she ages. And the actress herself has taken steps to address her health issues. The couple has recently welcomed a son, Luca.

On The View, Behar has regularly defended Joe Biden. Biden, who is the vice president of the United States, has been plagued with problems, but Joy has not been shy about defending him. For her birthday, Biden appeared on the show to celebrate Behar’s 80th. He fawned over his co-host in a prerecorded message.

One of the most outspoken liberal hosts, Behar has a history of defending and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. As a result, she received the GLAAD Excellence in Media Award. Additionally, she’s written a humorous book titled Joy’s Book, which she authored after the election.

During her time on The View, Behar also hosted her own variety show. This series, called “The Joy Show,” features filmmakers and comedians. It also includes fitness instructor Kristen James, and ABC News reporter Sheila Marikar.

When The View originally aired, the show aired Monday to Friday, and at 5AM Eastern. Then, in January 2011, the show moved to a 10PM Eastern slot. Unfortunately, the show aired only one more season before it was cancelled. That year, Behar returned to her hosting duties in full time.

Previously, she worked in a mental hospital and taught at Lindenhurst High School in Long Island. Having a career in stand-up comedy, Behar got her break when she appeared in Woody Allen’s Crisis in Six Scenes miniseries. Later, she appeared in Baby Boom, and shared the screen with Diane Keaton and Ron Rifkin in the film Manhattan Murder Mystery.

Today, Joy Behar is known for her humor and outspoken style. Her guests on The View include politicians, celebrities, and pop culture figures.

Recently, she hosted Comics With Benefits: A Special Night Of Comedy Benefiting Hurricane Sandy. This benefit event featured some of the funniest faces in the show business.
