The View star Joy Behar left fans gobsmacked when she decided to smack her own bum while she was live on air.
The star took to the screen alongside her co-hosts of the show on Tuesday (5 September.)
She was joined by Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, and Sara Haines but Whoppi Goldberg was notably missing from the usual gang.

Before Joy and her co-hosts began speaking on the new but subtle tweaks made to the show, she talked about her time on The View.
“We’ve (the show) been here for 27 years. I was here for all of it. Except for two when they canned me.”

The star then reached behind her to slap her bum and she added: “When they sacked my behind.”
Sunny asked Joy if every day felt the same on the show and Joy replied: “It feels the same. It’s Groundhog Day every day for me.”
It might feel like Groundhog Day for the star but the ABC daytime show is definitely not the same as it once was.
One major change means that Whoopi, Sara, Ana, Joy, Sunny, and Alyssa had a detailed solo title card as well as a snazzy new intro.

Fans took to the comments section of an Instagram post to welcome back the show.
One person said: “Welcome back. Just want to say, don’t know what she is doing- Ana is looking amazing. Hope you read this one.”
Another added: “Happy……..you are back. I look forward to watching your show every morning in Los Angeles.”
While a third commented: “Really miss you gals, love you all, especially Joy.”

A fourth fan gushed: “Welcome back ladies! Let’s get it started!! “
Others commented on how much they missed Whoppi Goldberg who could not attend the premiere due to having tested positive for covid for a third time.
