'The View' Co-Hosts Treat Joy Behar to Naughty Surprise for Her 82nd Birthday
Joy Behar is turning 82 on Oct. 7—but her co-hosts on The View decided to celebrate her birthday a few days early with a racy surprise.
On Friday, Oct. 4, The View guest Nathan Lane (who happens to be a longtime friend of Behar) brought along a very special gift: a male stripper.
At the end of Lane's interview, co-host Ana Navarro asked the Broadway icon, “Did you come here empty-handed for Joy’s birthday?”

“No, I did not! Because Joy is still a hot Italian woman, I have ordered Joy a hot Italian pizza!” Lane answered.
That's when a stripper dressed as a pizza delivery man appeared with a pizza box—which he quickly tossed to the side before ripping off his T-shirt and launching into a seductive dance.
Behar clearly enjoyed the performance, smiling and fanning herself with her note cards at one point, while Lane and the other hosts laughed and clapped.

In the same episode, Behar joked about her age, saying she wouldn't say exactly how old she was because she didn't want anybody to "fact-check" her.
Though she might appreciate the occasional striptease, Behar has been married to school teacher Steve Janowitz since 2011. The couple tied the knot after dating for 29 years.
During an episode of The View in May, the star explained why she doesn't "go around shouting [their] love from the rooftops" despite the fact that she's happily married.
“I don’t say it in private either, but still,” she joked. “Telling everybody how much you love each other and writing it on Instagram and on Facebook, and then you get a divorce, and everybody says, ‘Oh, you see?'”
