The show, created byBarbara Walters, has seen a wide range of cast members over its long run.
However, executive producer Bill Geddie allowed Walters to learn the truth, even if it was upsetting.
“Why do they like the show better with Joy than with me?”
“So what?”
Behar said at the time.
“I’m not going to work for her.”
“She’s funny, intelligent and well-informed,” Walters told People of her decision (viaTime).
“I chose Joy because we wanted the show to be entertaining.”
After 17 years on “The View,” Walters exited the show in 2014 (viaPeople).
