Another day, another awkward moment from Joy Behar on The View. On this morning’s episode of the hit daytime talk show, the longtime host had to get her mind of out the gutter after Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro apologized for not hooking up with Ana Navarro when she was visiting his home state this week.
Things between Behar and Shapiro, who was making his debut on The View, were shaky from the start, with the comedian telling him that “most” of her cousins who live in Pennsylvania approve of his work as governor.
“You’re super popular in Pennsylvania. My cousins live in Pennsylvania,” she said, before adding, “They like you. Most of them.”
Shapiro then asked, “Most?” to which Behar clarified, “Well, some of them are Trump supporters … but those are not blood, they’re in-laws.”
Navarro then jumped in to let Shapiro know that she was recently doing some work in Pennsylvania.
“I was just in Pennsylvania because we were doing something in Bethlehem with Puerto Ricans. I promised them you’re coming to see them. They love you too,” she said.
Upon the realization, Shapiro apologized for not meeting up with her during her trip.
“I’m sorry we didn’t hook up, that would be fun. We had to come to New York to do that,” he said, while a dirty-minded Behar chimed in, “Excuse me? Hook up?”
The politician attempted to explain what he meant, but Navarro quickly fired back, “Don’t start rumors!” At the same time, Alyssa Farah Griffin told Behar to “take us back on the rails.”
A flustered Shapiro then asked, “Was that on-air?” to which Behar nonchalantly confirmed, “Yeah, that was on-air.”
Fortunately, the awkwardness ended there. After talking politics through a couple of different segments, Shapiro concluded his visit by declaring his support for Kamala Harris, revealing that he’s in his “Speak Now” era when it comes to Taylor Swift music and saying he’s rooting for both the Eagles and the Steelers in the NFL (duh, he’s from Pennsylvania).
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
