NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Joy Behar says she was briefly fired from "The View" in New York seven years ago because she disclosed Rosie O'Donnell was joining the chat show.
Behar, who quit the program this past August after 16 years, said on Wednesday's edition of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" that Barbara Walters told her in 2006 she wasn't going to renew her contract because Behar confirmed O'Donnell's casting during an interview with "Entertainment Tonight."
