EXCLUSIVE: I have learned that Joy Behar will leave HLN at the end of the year. Behar, who has hosted her primetime talk show on the CNN sibling since 2009, is in the final year of her contract there. She has done well on HLN, where her The Joy Behar Show is the second-highest-rated behind Nancy Grace. “It just felt it was time for everyone,” an insider said. Comedian-writer-actress Behar will continue as a co-host of ABC’s The View, where she is under a long-term deal, while also exploring new opportunities, possibly within HLN’s parent company Turner Broadcasting. At HLN, Behar was one of two anchors to juggle a primetime cable talker and a daytime show, along with Grace, who left the syndicated Swift Justice this past summer to focus on her HLN program.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.

So glad to see her go with her ultra biased liberal views
So, you’re saying that plain biased or even just liberal would be ok? Or do you really prefer ultra biased right wing? Just asking.
so which group of people do you hate? gays? blacks? latinos? all of the above? all conservs hate some group. which is it? jesus knows when you hate.
You are right. Conservatives need to stick with hating a particular group of people. Liberals are the only people who hate EVERYBODY, including themselves.
Is this based on experience, or is it just that you hate conservatives?
I hate people that make outrageously false accusations. Jesus knows when you lie.
I am a conservative Christian, and I don’t hat any of the groups you mentioned. If I had to name somebody(other than Satan) that I hate—I’d have to say that it is people who claim to practice diversity and tolerance, when they poo poo other people’s views and actually practice intolerance.
i only hate intentional ignorance; it’s something we conservatives do to pi$$ off liberals
Oh, right, and Limbaugh and Coulter and Hannady are fair as rain, right?
I guess doing “well” is subjective when you are only considering her rank amongst other hosts on HLN. Her ratings suck.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
how does this exactly improve your life?
It improves mine by knowing this unfunny, ignorant cow isn’t given any more air time. Now let’s get her off the View.
Ohhh, previous question answered. “Cow” = woman hater.
I am so glad. I liked her at first but then she just plain got on my nerves so I quit watching her. Let’s see who they put in ther place though before we get too happy!
More like Joy Behar Fleeing HLN at end of year; you get the sense from her topics she tries her best to stay far, far away from what the rest of the network is covering, but has to throw it in to make the executives happy. Plus her guests hardly want to talk about the next It Trial, if they want to go on anymore because of HLN’s awful reputation.
That network is going to just crash hard once they being to see why Court TV dumped their overabundance on trials to fill a broadcast day; not everything is a Casey Anthony or Conrad case. Most of the time it’s State of North Carolina vs. Killer McMostobviousever. Plus eventually somebody who is accused of a crime and is proven innocent is going to call Nancy and Co. on their needless harping and libel.
She’s insulting, gross, and low class. Glad she’s not going to be taking up important air time. We deserve better.
Good riddance! She’s got to be one of the most ignorant and annoying talk show hosts on television—she’s right up there with HBO’s obnoxious boor, Bill Maher.
Gee, you wouldn’t be a Republican by any chance, would you?
Why is it so important for you to label everyone? I thought liberals were above labels? Guess not, my bad.
probably someone able to distinguish chicken salad from chicken droppings, so yes, probably a Republican
I’m sorry to see Joy leave the show–which was a place I could go if I wanted to see a real interview with various guests who appeared on The View. There’s no way to get a thought completed on The View with all the interruptions, crosstalk, and interruptions. Let’s hope Turner finds something perfect for her. She’s one smart cookie.
What are you talking about? Joy NEVER lets a guest finish answering a question before SHE interrups them. That’s why I stopped watching. You don’t have to be right wing to think she is a stale cookie–just under 50 years old.
joy behar is 69, so what do you mean?
Your standards are not very high if you enjoyed her. She has many detractors but her voice is like fingernails on a chalk board. Without trying too hard, her replacement will probably be an improvement.
Oops…I meant “interruptions, crosstalk, and arguments.”
Haha. Either way works.
…and cans omeone define “has done well?” She’s always at or near the ratings cellar for chrissake!
Ratings for November 14, 2011:
FNC ON THE RECORD W/GRETA 1,669,000
MSNBC L. ODONNELL 766,000
CNN Anderson Cooper 360 565,000
HLN Joy Behar 326,000
CNBC AMERICAN GREED 165,000
Not only that, she’s often third or fourth on HLN. Where do you get your facts, Nellie? From Joy herself?
Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell often beats her… and Dr. Drew, who’s show is lousy and a flop, nevertheless beats her frequently too.
Regardless, Behar’s ratings are hugely down from Nancy Grace… like not even close… and also a lot lower than Glenn Beck got when he was at HLN.
They wouldn’t be letting her go if she were doing well.
She’s a FAILURE by any measure at HLN.
Last night’s 25-54 ratings at HLN:
Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell: 109
Nancy Grace: 244
Dr. Drew: 96
Joyless Behar: 77
Last night’s total viewers at HLN:
Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell: 507
Nancy Grace: 711
Dr. Drew: 367
Joyless Behar: 391
And that’s considered doing “well,” Nellie?
And this is pretty reflective of how these shows perform relative to each other.
Joy beat Larry King in the ratings in the 9pm timeslot. I love her show, but the move to 10pm may have hurt her. I think she is an excellent interviewer and people always seem comfortable opening up to her. All I know is she crushed Larry King, an icon, when she was on at 9pm. I’ll bet Joy gets another opportunity somewhere. She got some cream of the crop guests too. And she’s funny. They may also know political season is right around the corner with no politically oriented show on HLN.
I’m with you, Muffy.
I bet she had better numbers than Keith Olberman.
as did ‘bowling for dollars’
Try a different audience.
No surprise they’re not picking her up for another season. I’ve watched a few episodes because of her guests and I have to say I was really turned off by her turning EVERY conversation into a bash-Republicans screed. She really wasn’t doing her guests any favors (the projects of those who came on her show often bombed). When she had Matthew Broderick on recently, he said “I hope I didn’t offend any conservatives” and Joy shot back with a smirk “Who cares?” I wonder if she’d have felt the same way if he’d said “I hope I didn’t offend any blacks” or “I hope I didn’t offend any Jews”? She really is a vile ignorant little creature. I’m not even conservative and I was turned off by her continously bashing half the country. Very poor business sense on her part.
Why is that only Fox anchors are allowed to “bash half the country?” Have you seen the way they talk about the Occupy protesters? Or any Democrat for that matter? Rush Limbaugh called the protesters “human filth.” Have you EVER heard Joy Behar say ANYthing like that about ANYone? Ignorant liars, the right-wing media… provable. Joy is certainly liberal, but at least she doesn’t lie and claim to be “fair and balanced.”
As for “I hope I didn’t offend any conservatives” and “Who cares?” – it’s ridiculous to suggest it’s the same as offending black people (not “blacks”) or people of Jewish faith. She wouldn’t disagree philosophically with anyone JUST BECAUSE they’re black or they’re Jewish. This is a big difference between liberal and right wing nut anchors these days. The latter is of the impression that all black people, all Jewish people, all Mexican people, etc can be put into one ideological box. While liberals and conservatives might vary a little here and there on their political philosophies, they can, largely, be painted with broader strokes. People like me, and like Behar, know the difference. It’s sad people like you don’t.
I don’t know how she is considered the net’s second-highest-rated show, unless there are only two. She was consistently at the bottom of their four evening shows.
Stupid people are funny. Joy is hilarious. You have to wonder how she feeds herself. Or maybe someone does it for her. Nuff said.
She works best on The View as part of a team. 42 Mins of Joy is to much just as 42 mins of Elizabeth on a political show would be to much.
Since she is such a proponent of vulgarity, I will just say that I’m glad to see the b**ch go.
Really, I don’t care one bit about her political views. I just don’t care for her personality, so it doesn’t matter to me if she were conservative, liberal, or anything in-between.
Just listening to her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to copy the “chalkboard” comment. I got to your comment after blurting mine out earlier. Nice to know I am not alone in that description.
OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS OVER!!!!
SO WHAT! WHO CARES! Actually, I do and will miss her show.
I am sorry Joy is leaving, I think she is a very smart lady.
I figured HLN was forcing Joy Behar out when they decided to anoint Dr. Drew their oracle for all things social, cultural, psychological and behavioral. I find Dr. Drew to be far more annoying than Joy Behar.
she completed her contract & isnt returning.
why are you all saying she was fired?
ot: what was her salary for her hln show ?
joy went from teaching english to be a tv host.
wow what a comeup.
vacatons in italy, england, hamptons, wow.
I used to like coming to this site before all the irrational, hate-spewing right wingers started coming here to rant delusionally. You used to be able to get some interesting, insightful views on the industry. Now it’s a lot of conservative insanity. Why don’t you go to the Fox News site to vent your paranoid, xenophobic nonsense?
An evening Howard Stern type interview show that will be missed. Con traversal maybe but boring never.
By the way Melanie, you are inherently unfair in your screening process. You regularly bore me and i still stop by to see if you’ve learned anything. If boredom were an issue, 95 % of your entire industry would be gone tomorrow.
