The View cohost Joy Behar is getting real about the work she’s had done over the years.
“Everybody thinks I’ve had a facelift. I have not had a facelift,” Behar, 83, said on the Tuesday, May 19, episode of the “Behind the Table” podcast. “I tell everybody I have Botox. I do work on myself. I had Botox. I had [filler] to fill in [and] I have hair I just got yesterday.”
She continued about her hair treatments, “I had a dye job, a highlight job and a keratin treatment.”
Behar further pointed out that “you have to do things” in order to look good.

“Everybody thinks that you look good because you’re naturally that good, you’re not,” she said, noting that she also goes to Pilates workout classes. “I’m pushing it because you know, on the list of aging and what you have to do? They say things, like, of course you have to eat healthy, which I don’t, they say you have to exercise, which I don’t. I never do it. I hate it. I’d rather go to the dentist.”
While Behar has to force herself to workout, she acknowledges that she is already “good at” flexing her brain.
“I do crossword puzzles every day, I write plays, I do my job [and] I’m accompimentist [sic],” Behar said. “I also have a big social network, which I keep up on.”
The View executive producer Brian Teta can even tell how Behar’s pursuits have been successful.
“I think you are as sharp as you have been the entire time I’ve known you,” Teta said on Tuesday. “I think that’s true, and that’s going on 10 years now. Not counting when I saw you at Westbury Music Fair or in the elevator for Sex in the City, too.”

Behar has previously been candid about her health journey, including a 25-pound weight loss after trying GLP-1 injections.
“We all did it!” she said on The View in February. “I’ve been on diets up and down, up and down. You lose it, then you gain it back. Nobody wants to be fat except a sumo wrestler. It’s uncomfortable, your clothes don’t fit, everybody wants to lose weight.”
Behar’s cohosts Whoopi Goldberg and guest panelist Savannah Chrisley also admitted to trying semaglutides like Ozempic and Mounjaro. GLP-1s are commonly prescribed for adults who struggle with weight-related conditions, but doctors have cautioned against using the medication for casual weight loss.
