Loose Canon! Joy Behar Reveals Barbara Walters Once Tried To Fire Her From 'The View'

Barbara Walters is a force to be reckoned with! In a released clip from the upcoming Hulu special, Behind the Table: A View Reunion, Joy Behar recalled a terrifying moment when Walters attempted to fire her for a slip-up.

The incident occurred after Behar accidentally spilled the beans that comedian Rosie O' Donnell had been hired to join the panel for the popular daytime talk show.

"[EW] said, 'Oh, and Rosie O’Donnell’s coming on the show. And guess who told them?'" the 79-year-old remembered Walters saying to her at the time. Behar made a joke about it being former host Meredith Vieira, to which Walters reportedly replied, "No, you! Joy Behar did that. And I want you to know that I’m not renewing your contract.'"

Behar said that she attempted to talk her way out of the situation, telling The View creator "it was just a mistake. It was an honest mistake," but Walters wasn't having any of her excuses.

"'You’re a loose cannon, and I’m not renewing your contract,'" Behar continued relaying Walter's shocking retort. "I said, ‘Barbara, come on! It’s, like, no big deal here.'"

"For a minute, I was stunned," she added. "I was, like, 'Really? For that?'"

Behar hasn't only butt heads with Walters throughout her time on the long-running chat-fest. As OK! previously reported, the best-selling author and Meghan McCain got into a screaming match last May over politics.
