Sarah Silverman Kisses Joy Behar Live on The View

During her May 29 appearance on 'The View,' comedian Sarah Silverman ended her interview with Joy Behar by spontaneously kissing her on the lips, a moment that delighted the live audience and sparked mixed reactions online. The kiss came after a warm exchange between the longtime friends and a prompt from Whoopi Goldberg to "do the goodbye." The playful moment included jokes about Behar's bowl of mints on the table, with panelists teasing about fresh breath and Tic Tacs. Silverman was on the show promoting her Netflix special 'PostMortem,' which explores her personal experiences with grief following the recent deaths of her father and stepmother. While some viewers praised the affectionate gesture, others criticized it as a publicity stunt. This was not Behar's first on-air physical moment; in 2023, Matthew McConaughey gave her a foot massage on the show, a moment that also gained attention.
