ABCOne of The View's most vocal cohosts is taking her shtick to the more opinion-accommodating pastures of cable news—and it's not the one you think.
Joy Behar, the sole remaining original member of the View crew (save for den mother Babara Walters), is about to pull double duty on the small screen. In addition to her morning chat duties she will also begin hosting her own nightly program on CNN sister channel HLN this September.
Tentatively titled The Joy Behar Show, the program will replace Lou Dobbs Tonight in the 9 p.m. timeslot on the cable net formerly known as Headline News.
It's unlikely that the show will follow the traditional talking head format, as the 65-year-old Behar told the New York Times today that the program will be a "topical and fun" talk show.
Behar has plenty of experience in both. In addition to her 12 years on The View, she's also served as a regular guest host on CNN's Larry King Live.
