HLN Confirms: Joy Behar Show Cancelled After Two Years

HLN Cancels Joy Behar Show

After two years on HLN, Joy Behar’s talk show will be cancelled come the end of the year, the network announced Thursday.

“I am very proud of the show that we created at HLN and I owe tremendous thanks to the show team who made it possible,” Behar said in a statement.

The NY Daily News adds:

HLN general manager Scot Safon said, “Joy and her team produced over 500 episodes of a show that featured news-making interviews, great conversation and plenty of humor. We thank Joy for the many memorable moments she gave the HLN audience.”

The final episode of “The Joy Behar Show” will air in mid-December, with the 10 p.m. time slot being replaced by one of HLN’s current programs.

So far, reports do not indicate the reason given for canceling Behar’s show, though often poor ratings or lack of willing sponsors factor into the equation.

Whatever the reason, some in the media, like Fox News host Bill O‘Reilly think the decision to cancel Behar’s show was right. Using a clip of actress Ellen Barkin blasting Fox News and O‘Reilly on Behar’s program, “The Factor” host blasted:

Well, here’s the problem with Ms. Barkin’s statement: It’s a flat-out lie. I have never mentioned Ellen Barkin on this broadcast. Ever. And I would never call her names.

Now. We know Ms. Behar. We know what she does. And today HLN announced she will no longer be doing it on that network; her show is finished at the end of the year. But the Headline News operation — and CNN, which is the parent company have an obligation not to allow blatant lies on their air, and to challenge statements that are provocative, like that one.

      Lol, her show is the classic example of Liberalism. The show sucked and no one watched it. It was a money pit that had to be subsidized to keep it on life support. Sort of like Air America before it rolled over. I am surprised President Odumbo has not signed an executive order to force Fox to now air her show to make them more “balanced” in the Progressive Eye.

      Wow, this whole string has been nothing but a hackneyed, unimaginative, mundane collection of free floating hostility and fear-based bigotry – the kind you typically reserve for a Ron Reagan, Jr post. If you people can be brought to this level of anger by a TV comedian, then you must be completely incapable of dealing with anything of real substance or challenge. That explains a lot. Joy Behar is a very successful (and rich) entertainer. She’s met and interviewed Oscar winners. Noble laureates and heads of state. Honestly, you sound like whining , jealous little children. It’s Joy Behar, you clowns, not Tokyo Rose.

You just have to remain standing. The people attacking you with lies will be buried under their own weight. I believe in this. It has been true for all of eternity in the past and all eternity in the future.” – Glenn Beck

      JOY TO THE WORLD, Joy Behar’s GONE!!! Let common sense reign free! No more horrible interviews, now she’s only left on the view, where O’Reily makes her squirm, her character’s less than a worms, Now let’s see how much longer ’till the View’s gone too!

      The question is: Who actually watched this garbage?

      Joan Rivers watched, but she is a rich liberal that does not want to give up “her” millions to help poor Joy stay on the air. Life sucks as a liberal when your rich liberal friends will not share their wealth. Lololololol………..
