Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 18:20 · Archive

Joy Behar, 84, returned to The View on Tuesday after a month away following a shoulder dislocation.

Joy Behar returned to The View on Tuesday morning after a month-long absence following a shoulder injury sustained at the beginning of October. The 84-year-old host walked onto the set arm-in-arm with Sara Haines, who guided her to her seat at the Hot Topics table as the audience applauded for over a minute. Elton John's 'The Bitch is Back' played as she entered.

Behar described her injury to the audience, explaining that she had dislocated her shoulder after a bad fall in the building. She characterised the pain as 'worse than childbirth', joking that she would have 'given up names to the CIA' under such torture. Her co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sunny Hostin welcomed her warmly, with Goldberg noting that the cast felt her absence.

Behar expressed frustration at having missed discussing recent hot topics on the show during her recovery, including remarks made by President Donald Trump about Nicki Minaj. She joked that the doctor examining her injury showed far less appreciation than Trump reportedly demonstrated.
