Joy Behar's Absence on The View: A Look at Carrie Underwood's Return

0:00It's March 24th, entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now, AI-powered and trending. Joy Behar stepped away from the table on the view during Tuesday's interview with American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood. This happened a year after Behar spoke out against Underwood's choice to sing a dom of Trump's second inauguration. The move made room for Underwood and two other guests from the show. The absence stood out because of the history between Behar and Underwood. Back in early 2025, Behar shared her disapproval on air about the performance at the Capitol. Production sources say it was just a practical choice to fit everyone comfortably. Former view co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck jumped in to defend Underwood online. She called out Behar and praised Underwood's strength, though Behar never labeled her un-American. Hasselbeck even returned as a guest host this year, but skipped mentioning the dust up. Behar came back to the table at the end of the live show.
