I LOVE Joy Behar. There is no one else on (U.S.) television, with 95% of it being completely calculated and scripted, who puts forth her/his thoughts and ideas in such an uncensored manner. She is very progressive and sees right through the B.S. of everyone with whom she banters, interviews, etc. on the daily morning show, "The View". When she can't be 100% honest, she just doesn't say anything. I'm almost surprised that a woman of such candidness is still on a major television program.Joy reminds me very much of my mom. They look similar -- Joy and my mom are New York born-and-bred Italian-Americans (Behar is a name from Joy's previous marriage) who say things like "pasta fazoole" (in the Neopolitan dialect) instead of the proper, Roman "pasta e fagioli" -- both have that straightforward, no nonsense delivery and both can really be hilarious.
May Joy remain on TV as a standard-bearer for years and years to come!
