Behar and her colleagues, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd, Whoopi Goldberg, and Barbara Walters, won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host in 2009, after a decade of nominations.
As years passed by, Joy decided that she was done with the show and announced that she would leave at the end of the sixteenth season, which was in 2013.
“It seemed like the right time…You reach a point when you say to yourself, ‘Do I want to keep doing this?’ There are other things on my plate I want to do — I’ve been writing a play, I’ve been neglecting my stand-up,” she said in an interview.
