The Joy Behar Show to Premiere on HLN on September 28
CNN Press Release - “News and Views” Network Adds New Talk Show to Primetime Lineup
Veteran talk show host and comedian Joy Behar’s new HLN (formerly Headline News) talk show, The Joy Behar Show, will premiere on September 28, it was announced by Ken Jautz, EVP of CNN Worldwide, at today’s Television Critics’ Association event in Pasadena, CA. The one-hour talk show will air on HLN at 9 p.m. ET, seven days a week, as part of the network’s primetime slate of opinion-based programming. Behar will continue to serve as a co-host of the Emmy Award-winning talk show The View on ABC.
The Joy Behar Show will showcase Behar’s personal take on the day’s news, offering primetime viewers a full hour of Joy’s passionate point of view, sharp wit, and no-nonsense approach. The program will examine those provocative watercooler issues that Americans are talking about every day, with topics ranging from pop culture to politics and everything in between.
The Joy Behar Show is the latest addition to the HLN primetime lineup of opinion-driven programming. Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell leads the way at 7 p.m.; Nancy Grace offers television’s most compelling legal commentary at 8 p.m.; and Showbiz Tonight at 11 p.m. features analysis of the most provocative issues in entertainment. HLN is on track to deliver its highest-rated year in the network’s 27-year history in both total viewers and the key P25-54 demo, and has just posted the best Q2 and the best June to date
