Joy Behar Blames Emmy Snubs on 'Voting for Multiple Hosts'

Joy Behar, a co-host on 'The View,' has put forth a theory regarding the show's infrequent wins at the Daytime Emmy Awards. Behar stated on the 'The View: Behind the Table' podcast that Emmy voters are generally reluctant to vote for multiple hosts when awarding the Outstanding Daytime Talk Show Host category. The View has secured this specific award only once, in 2009, when Behar co-hosted with Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and Barbara Walters.

During the discussion, Behar speculated that the difficulty lies in voters' preferences, as they might like some hosts but not others. She also suggested that the political discussions on 'The View,' which features a predominantly liberal panel, could alienate voters with opposing viewpoints. While 'The Talk' also had multiple hosts and won Emmys, Behar noted they often avoided contentious political topics, which may have contributed to their wins.
