Sealed with a kiss! Joy Behar locked lips with talk show guest Sarah Silverman during an episode of The View, leaving viewers surprised.
Sarah, 54, appeared on the ABC show on Thursday, May 29, where she talked about her career and her new standup special, PostMortem, which is out on Netflix. She brought a lot of laughs throughout the segment. As the segment was wrapping up, Joy, 82, said, “It’s always fun to see you,” to which Sarah replied, “I love seeing you.”
“Do you want to do the goodbye?” Whoopi Goldberg asked as Joy and Sarah faced each other.
It was then that Sarah leaned over to kiss Joy on the lips. The audience clapped after the women shared a smooch. “We’ll all do it,” Sarah said.
“How’s her breath?” Ana Navarro asked.
Sarah hilariously started eating from a bowl of Tic Tacs that was sitting in front of her on the desk. It was a reference to a moment earlier on in the segment when Joy talked about how she liked to have mints on the table during each show.
“What’s this? Mints? You have a bowl of mints? Why do you have a bowl of mints?” Sarah asked, to which Joy replied, “I like to have them. I need fresh breath.”
The Saturday Night Live alum then recalled a joke that she heard about bad breath.
“You know my friend Todd Glass has the best joke,” Sarah said. “When someone has bad breath, [you say] ‘I wonder what like a thousand Tic Tacs would taste like.’”

After the kiss happened and Sarah began popping mints in her mouth, cohost Sara Haines playfully said, “I wonder what it’s like to have a thousand Tic Tacs right now,” which was a callback to the joke.
Joy is no stranger to making headlines with her antics on The View. Last month, she left everyone laughing when she tried tickling Whoopi, 69, during a segment on the long-running talk show.
“I recently found out that Whoopi is very ticklish. Just saying,” Joy announced on the program.
Sara, 47, laughed as Joy reached over to tickle Whoopi, who swatted her hand away multiple times.
“Ow! I know this is going to come as a shock, that was my breast!” Whoopi shouted. Sara began giggling while sitting in between the two.
“She just pushed it onto the other side, listen we have guests,” the Sister Act actress said after the tickling bit. All of the other cohosts began to laugh as Whoopi attempted to move the segment along as planned.
The segment came just before Joy opened up on The View’s “Behind the Table” podcast about how the group of cohosts gets along. She said that the cast “doesn’t fight a lot” and they are all “very, very amiable with each other.”
“I’ve been here many years now, and I know a lot of different groups. This group is the least … what’s the word I’m looking for …? They have the least animosity,” Joy said. “Some years they’ve been bad.”
