“The View” co-host Joy Behar was left speechless by a joke about twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on the show.
Behar was shocked by comments about Clinton made by comedy puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
The puppet dog called out Behar for wanting to “sniff Hillary Clinton’s chair.”
“Behar pointed out that the last time she saw Triumph was at her birthday party last year, asking the furry puppet, ‘Did you have a good time?’” according to Decider.

Triumph replied, “Oh, that was tremendous.
“I was at Joy Behar’s 80th birthday party.
“I performed. Oh, what a night it was.
“It was open bar and open casket.
“Joy, you and I both got so drunk we were fighting over who got to sniff Hillary Clinton‘s chair.”

“Why do you keep saying my age?” Behar asked, looking slightly miffed.
“Joy, you realize you’re 81, you’re old enough to run for president… and to watch The View!” Triumph quipped.
“You’re right in the demographic of The View now!”

“I love The View,” Triumph later stated.
“It’s inspiring, it’s empowering.
“It’s a place – women feel safe here, except from other women.”
Triumph appeared to be referencing Meghan McCain, who claimed it was a toxic workplace after she left in 2021.
Behar has often been critical of conservatives while also supporting Democrats.
She frequently attacks President Donald Trump and heaps praise on Hillary Clinton.
She has largely also supported President Joe Biden, despite his many gaffes and concerns over his age and cognitive health, which the co-hosts regularly run cover for.
The words were used against her in the segment voiced by a puppet that refused to hold back in criticizing the host during her own show.
Elsewhere during the segment, the puppet also called out the liberal bias on the show and described the co-hosts as “actors.”

Triumph said they're all "excellent actors" by the way "you act like you're interested in Alyssa's opinions."
"She likes it! That one is for the conservatives! And that's the only one." pic.twitter.com/vu7byg3vu9— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) December 8, 2023
The jokes struck conservatives with delight, calling out some of her past attacks against others in a surprise turn of events targeting the longtime host.
The segment left Behar stunned and her co-hosts seeking to redeem the program in a quick recovery after the puppet prankster’s damage that quickly turned viral online following the on-air comments.
