Joy Behar On Her Night At The Webby’s, The Importance Of Late Night TV & Why ‘Politics Is Personal’

Joy Behar sits down with executive producer Brian Teta to recap her big night at the Webby Awards and reveals how she landed on the five words for her acceptance speech. She reflects on why late‑night television will always matter and looks back on her experience performing in celebrity roasts.

Joy shares why she believes anyone with a platform has a responsibility to speak out, explaining why politics feel deeply personal to her. She also weighs in on Diane Sawyer’s ABC special about Richard Simmons and discusses what it would take for her to ever step away from the public eye.

She opens up about her marriage, including whether there’s anything she’d want her husband Steve to change—and why she ultimately knows he’s a high‑quality person. Joy also explains why, for her, political differences wouldn’t be enough to end a friendship.
