Baboon

Sharp-tongued comic who thrives on laughter and sparring.

Joy Behar built her entire career on wit, irreverence, and the ability to hold court in a group — exactly the baboon's comedic, socially shrewd, and attention-loving energy. On 'The View,' she is the designated jokester and provocateur, turning political tension into punchlines and never missing a chance to get a laugh or a gasp. Warm to her inner circle yet delightfully combative in debate, she embodies the baboon's blend of affection, sharp humor, and elastic, expressive personality.
