Joy Behar Ends Her Nighttime Show

Equality advocate and recent newlywed Joy Behar has announced plans to end her eponymous nighttime program, which has been one of prime time's most consistently gay-centric talk shows, at the end of this year.

“I am very proud of the show that we created at HLN and I owe tremendous thanks to the show team who made it possible,” Behar says in a statement.

Since The Joy Behar Show premiered in 2009, Behar, a longtime advocate for marriage equality, has interviewed numerous LGBT newsmakers, including Meredith Baxter, Dan Savage, Johnny Weir, and Advocate columnist Michelangelo Signorile. Behar will continue as a cohost of ABC's morning program The View.
