Joy Behar honored with GLAAD Award: Jokes with gay audience about “View” co-hosts, conservative politics [video]

”I’m at the Glaad awards with my lesbian lover, Meredith Vieira. She says hi.”

Funny Twitter post from Joy Behar. The veteran comedian, and one of “The View’s” 5 talk show hosts, accepted an award in New York from GLAAD for “Excellence in Media.” Last year, she launched her own program on CNN, and it became an immediate favorite of LGBT television viewers. She regularly features interviews with gay and gay-friendly personalities, and also covers many of the controversies surrounding the community’s issues. (Joy Behar Show) (GLAAD Awards)
