Joy Behar was born on October 7, 1942, and she is celebrating her 82nd birthday today. Behar has been a veteran television co-host of the daytime chat show \u2018The View\u2019 since 1997, and is thus one of the show\u2019s founding panelists. In recent years, however, she has been less constant on the show.<\/p>\n

She left the show in 2013 and returned in 2015. She later spoke on how it felt to be let go from the show: \u201cI was pleased to be fired. I was generally sick of the show by that point for some reason, which I can\u2019t recall.\u201d<\/p>\n

The television host did not know why she was fired and said the network did not know why either. She said, \u201cThat was very stupid of them. But they learned their lesson.\u201d In October 2022, she said she had no plans to retire from the show.<\/p>\n

Behar once stated that she was often amazed by the viewership of her show, adding, \u201cI\u2019m happy to be a part of it.\u201d So, no, I am not moving anywhere. I am having a nice time.<\/p>\n

Last year, she celebrated her birthday on air.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Her co-hosts commented on Behar\u2019s lack of enthusiasm for her birthday, to which she said, \u201cI can\u2019t get enthusiastic. I\u2019m simply thankful to be alive, okay? You know, you get to the point where you get up every morning and say, \u2018I\u2019m still here, my God.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Behar, in her personal life, has seen everything. She has been married twice and is both a mother and a grandmother.<\/p>\n

Behar\u2019s second spouse, Steve Janowitz, is a retired schoolteacher. The pair married in 2011, after being together for over 29 years. They dressed in synchronized attire for their big day. She wore a short-sleeved dress, and he wore a black suit with a bow tie and a white shirt underneath.<\/p>\n

Following her nuptials, the actress discussed her second marriage experience. She asked, \u201cDo I look like a blushing bride to you?\u201d It has been 29 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The couple had been together for nearly three decades before they tied the knot. As to why they waited so long to marry, Behar\u00a0said, \u201cWe waited so long because I had been married before, and I didn\u2019t really see the point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apart from being a wife, Behar is also a mother. She and her first husband, Joseph Behar, welcomed one child together, a daughter, Eve Behar, in November 1970. They were married from 1965 to 1981.<\/p>\n
