Joy Behar’s Project Already Has Quite A Few Names Attached
Behar has been the host of The View since the series started in 1997. However, she’s worn many hats over the years. Beforehand, she’s been a stand-up comedian, a radio talk-show host, and had even been a producer on Good Morning America, in addition to other projects.
However, Behar has recently come out with another new project. The TV personality is set to come out with her own off-Broadway show, My First Ex-Husband.
Playbill has released the following synopsis: “A no-holds-barred series of stories created by the legendary Joy Behar. With razor-sharp wit and zero filters, Joy dives into the messy truths of love, marriage, and divorce, revealing the chaotic, funny, and often eye-opening realities of relationships.”
The show’s first preview is set for January 29, 2025, at the MMAC Theater at 248 West 60th Street in New York. It will then run from February 6 to April 20.
Susan Lucci Will Also Team Up With Another All My Children Alum
