About this episode
Debbie Matenopoulos and Joy Behar were both original co-hosts and helped launch “The View” with Barbara Walters, Meredith Vieira, and Star Jones in 1997. This week on “Behind the Table,” Debbie shares about getting the job at 22 years old and they look back on how it all started when they auditioned together for the show. Debbie also discusses what it was like when “Saturday Night Live” started doing parodies of her and she tells Joy how she really felt when she was let go after one season.
