Fox News contributor and Gutfeld! regular Kennedy is never one to hold back, and this week was no exception.

The former MTV VJ turned political commentator shared a behind-the-scenes story about her past audition for The View—and let’s just say, Joy Behar didn’t exactly leave a good impression.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, during her appearance on Gutfeld!, Kennedy recounted how, back in 2003, she made it far in the audition process to join The View as a co-host.

While she had mostly positive things to say about the experience—praising the late Barbara Walters, Meredith Vieira, and Star Jones—her assessment of Joy Behar was anything but flattering.

Kennedy, known for her sharp wit, described Behar as:

“A talking hemorrhoid in an auburn wig.”

She went on to explain that Behar was “ungracious and awful” during the audition, revealing that the long-time View co-host wasn’t even coming up with her own jokes.

Instead, she had a comedy writer feeding her lines during breaks. Kennedy noted that Behar didn’t react naturally to the conversation and wasn’t quick-witted in the moment, which was ironic given that she considered herself the comedic authority on the show.

The punchline came when Kennedy recalled cracking some jokes during the audition, only for Behar to snap:

“I’ll handle the comedy here.”

Kennedy, unfazed, responded:

“Great. Whenever you start, I’ll ease up on the jokes.”

Anyone remotely familiar with The View can probably picture this scene perfectly—Behar feeling threatened by someone who’s actually funny, desperately trying to hold onto her spot at the table.

Over the years, The View has transformed from a debate-friendly talk show into a left-wing echo chamber where conservative voices are barely tolerated.

The days of good-natured political discussion are long gone, replaced by unhinged monologues and audience clapping seals cheering on the latest progressive talking points.

Kennedy dodged a bullet by not landing that gig. Meanwhile, Behar continues to sit at the same table, regurgitating the same tired lines with all the charm of a wet mop.
