The Joy Behar Show was a news program and talk show that premiered on HLN on Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The show was hosted by Joy Behar, who is one of the five co-hosts of The View. The show originally aired in the 9PM eastern slot/8PM central with encore presentations at 12AM and 5AM eastern, but was moved to 10PM eastern in January 2011 with encore presentations at 3AM eastern. The show aired new episodes Monday through Friday, while the shows on Saturday and Sunday were reruns.
The show's format was generally an interview/discussion setting where Joy Behar and her panel of guests discussed current events in pop culture, politics, and general media happenings. Guests were also often interviewed one on one, or by satellite feed, where questions are more geared toward that particular guest's life and views.
The show was cancelled on November 17, 2011 and Joy Behar stated that she appreciated all of the people who helped put the show together.[1] The final episode aired on Friday, December 16, 2011.

Cable news ratings, August 4, 2010: Check out the highlights, and see the full ratings below:
• MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow had more total viewers and A25-54 demographic viewers Wednesday than CNN and HLN combined (Larry King was out Wednesday). It was the only hour to accomplish that feat.
• Sean Hannity had the #2 show on cable news in both categories – including getting very close to Bill O’Reilly the hour before.
