‘The View’ star Joy Behar was fired from ‘GMA’ ‘twice’

It was perhaps a bad morning.

Joy Behar dropped a bombshell on “The View” fans on Tuesday’s episode when she revealed that she was fired from “Good Morning America” not once — but twice.

During an interview with “Big Bang Theory” star Melissa Rauch, the 43-year-old actress explained that she had been fired when she worked at her cousin’s law firm as a secretary.

“I was so bad at it,” she explained. “So absolutely terrible and it was before everything was computerized so there was an actual file room.”

Before Rauch could finish her tale, panelist Whoopi Goldberg, 66, chimed in. “There’s another bad secretary at this table, too,” she said while gazing at Behar.

Sunny Hostin, 55, then clarified that Behar “got fired from ‘GMA.’”

Behar then quipped, “Twice,” with a sly smile.

While Behar didn’t provide any more details, she did explain that she was previously fired from “GMA” in the 1980s during a November 2022 segment with actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani, who dropped by the show to promote his latest project — the Hulu miniseries “Welcome to Chippendales.”

“So, let’s talk about ‘Welcome to Chippendales.’ First of all, I’d like to say that when I was fired from ‘Good Morning America’ years ago — I was the worst receptionist they’ve ever had — and, this is a true story, I was fired, they took me to Chippendales as my goodbye present … so, anyway I’m familiar with Chippendales.”

Nanjiani, 45, couldn’t contain his laughter, especially after Behar had called it “a great day all around.”

“So that was a good and a bad day for you?” the actor remarked. “You lost a job but you gained so much more.” 

It’s not the first time Behar has opened up about being fired from a job.

In a Time magazine interview titled “Joy Behar Won’t Shut Up,” the redhead opened up about her 2013 firing from “The View.”

“I was glad to be fired,” she said. “I basically was sick of the show at that point for some reason, I don’t even remember why.”

Two years later, she returned to “The View” as a permanent co-host for the show’s 19th season in September 2015.
