Joy Behar's London Stage Debut Amid FCC Controversy
28 May
Summary
- Joy Behar is leaving The View for a London stage production.
- Her play, 'My First Ex-Husband,' will run in the West End.
- The FCC is investigating The View for alleged rule violations.
Joy Behar will be absent from The View for upcoming episodes as she travels to London to perform in her play, 'My First Ex-Husband.' The production is scheduled for a two-week engagement at the Boulevard Theatre in the West End. Behar will star alongside Jackie Hoffman and two British actresses.
Sheryl Underwood and Kara Swisher are among those who will fill in for Behar during her absence. Ana Navarro and Whoopi Goldberg are also slated to co-host on select days. This development occurs while The View is under investigation by the FCC concerning alleged breaches of political equal time regulations.
The FCC, led by Brendan Carr, disputes the applicability of regulatory exemptions for talk shows discussing political candidates. This challenges a long-standing practice, including exemptions previously granted to programs like 'The Tonight Show' with Jay Leno.
