In radio and television, controversy drives ratings and the ‘The View’ has been leveraging this formula for years. Recently, co-host Joy Behar causes a stir when commentating on Vice President’s speaking to God, and Mike Pence revealing that God talks back. Joy had called this a little ‘insanity’ on the air. She apologized to the VP in a call a few days later.
This most recent incident is not Joy’s first run-in with controversy, she’s always outspoken about the current President and his administration, having written “The Great Gasbag,” an unflattering book about Donald Trump last year. Joy has battled current conservative View co-host Meghan McCain and Elisabeth Hasselbeck in the early days.
