EW's editorial guidelines Published on November 5, 2024 03:15PM EST Comments The only thing that can (nearly) derail America's collective sprint to the polls? Another cyber attack from one of Joy Behar's notoriously interruptive digital devices on The View. Once again, the 82-year-old's tireless battle against inanimate objects has reached the frontlines of the Hot Topics table, with Behar's cell phone going off on perhaps the most important day of The View's live political coverage. Following past on-air bouts with her phone and Siri — who once interrupted Behar on the program to give her directions to her seat at the table — Behar's iPhone spoke up during a discussion about political allegiances coming between couples during the heated 2024 election cycle. Sara Haines shuts off Joy Behar's cell phone on 'The View'. ABC "I don't know, I wouldn't even let him give me the Heimlich maneuver, that's how little I feel about people," Behar said on how she'd feel if a partner revealed he was a Trump supporter. A sound then clapped through the show's airspace, prompting Sara Haines to reach over and take matters — and Behar's phone — into her own hands. "I got it," the emergency responder said. "I fixed it. I fixed it." Past attempts to soothe Behar's bitter war with her devices included a notable military maneuver by panelist Sunny Hostin, who once snatched Behar's phone and shepherded it backstage during a live telecast when it attempted to hijack the show.

The most intense clash between Behar and a non-breathing, non-living entity came in March 2022, however, when she attempted to take her seat on a swivel chair, which gave way and led to her tumbling onto the set below live on the air. Behar's woes with various items aren't confined to the Hot Topics table, though, as she once revealed that her apartment building's elevator once tried to kidnap her. The View star, ex-Trump staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin finally endorses Kamala Harris, voted Democrat 'for the first time' Still, nothing can compare to Behar's smackdowns with her fellow humans — like, for example, that Italian woman she called a bitch during a European vacation. The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. PT on ABC.
