The View’s Joy Behar, 84, fuels concern as she skips major show event after scary on-set injury
THE VIEW’s Joy Behar has skipped a major show-related event days after she suffered an injury on set.
Joy, 84, missed a live taping of The View‘s official podcast, Behind the Table, in New York City on Tuesday night, The U.S. Sun can confirm.

The View hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, Alyssa Farah Griffin and executive producer Brian Teta all attended Behind the Table Live: An Evening With The View Co-Hosts at City Winery.
According to popular venue City Winery’s website, Joy was scheduled to attend while Whoopi originally was not named as a participant.
It appears there was a switch after Joy dislocated her shoulder on The View set in NYC last week.
“Joy caught a heel backstage but is on the mend and should be back on the show mid next week,” A show representative told Page Six.
“Her shoulder wasn’t broken and is back in place and she is excited to be back at the table as quickly as possible.”
As of Tuesday, Joy – who celebrates her 84th birthday on Wednesday – still hadn’t returned to the show.
There’s been no update on when she plans to come back to work.
Joy previously took a leave of absence from the show when she broke her toe last fall.

As Joy recovered, the hosts all made a change to the show to accommodate her.
Instead of walking out to the table in the opening sequence, all the stars were already seated.
For months after, Joy often required help from her colleagues to walk out to her seat.
Joy has said she currently has no plans to retire, despite being on the show since its 1997 premiere.
“Creative people don’t really retire,” she said last year. “I just really like to write and create stuff.”
