Joy Behar 82nd birthday

Joy Behar celebrated her 82nd birthday early on 'The View' with a surprise from guest Nathan Lane, who delivered a comedic twist by introducing a male stripper instead of a pizza. Lane humorously declared, 'Because Joy is still a hot Italian woman, I have ordered Joy a hot Italian pizza!' before a dancer, Jake Warren, emerged, stripped off his shirt, and performed a lively dance, much to Behar's delight and the shock of her co-hosts. The segment featured Behar enjoying the playful antics, even jokingly fanning herself as the dancer kissed her hand and flirted with the audience. Lane also promoted his new Netflix series, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,' adding context to his appearance. This lively birthday surprise marked a stark contrast to Behar's more subdued celebrations in previous years, emphasizing her lively spirit and humor on daytime television.
