Joy Behar is temporarily stepping back from ABC’s daytime talk show “The View” to focus on bringing her play to international audiences. Multiple outlets report that Behar is away for about two weeks, traveling in Europe to perform her stage work “My First Ex-Husband.” The Los Angeles Times says the production is set for its first international audience in London, while Fox News reports performances in both Paris and London during the trip. In additional coverage, Fox News notes Behar responds to descriptions of the trip as a “hiatus,” saying she will be working on the play while in London rather than taking time off unrelated to her performances. The Washington Times similarly describes a two-week departure from “The View” tied to overseas performances. Overall, the reporting agrees that Behar’s time away is short-term and connected directly to her theater schedule, with London (and also Paris, per some accounts) identified as key stops for the play’s international presentation.
