Joy Behar chats with ET's Rachel Smith on the set of 'The View,' following the talk show's season 27 premiere.
"She has COVID," Behar told the show's audience earlier that day."It’s back. It’s back. But she’s on the mend, she’s at the tail end and she’ll probably be back this week."
Haines quipped that she thinks her co-host may have wanted a little extra time off. "I laughed because the first day back is really hard for everyone, but when you get Joy and Whoopi, they're like, 'Please don't take me off vacation.' And then to hear that about Whoopi," Haines jokes."But of all ways to end it, work would have been better than COVID. I don't think it's bad, she's gonna be back.
"I just keep on like a boomerang," Behar jokes when reflecting on her 25-year run on the series."This is the 27th year but I was fired for two years; I have to be truthful and honest and accurate. For two years they kicked my butt out of here and then begged me to come back."Behar stepped back as a permanent host in 2013, but she continued to guest-host throughout 2014 and 2015. She officially returned to the panelist table for the premiere of the 19th season on Sept.
