“A lot of my friends are dead,” Behar said on “The View,” adding that she needs to perform a séance to ask them for tips.
After jumping what, uh, used to be someone’s bones when she admitted to having sexual relations with spiritual entities, The View star Joy Behar has revealed that she’s ready to make another kind of connection with ghosts in the human realm.
The 81-year-old stopped just short of bringing out a ouija board on Wednesday’s episode of the live talk show, after moderator and esteemed Ghost actress Whoopi Goldberg (who’s no stranger to staring down haunted forces wafting through The View‘s airspace) asked the panel for their take on a Hot Topic about the necessity of consulting friends for major life decisions.
“Do you need your friends to weigh in before you make a big life decision?” Goldberg asked her cohosts. “Well, a lot of my friends are dead now, so I’d need a séance,” Behar replied.

Instead of asking Behar to conjure her friends to the table like a true medium, Goldberg launched an investigation into the otherworldly matter.
“Did they consult you before they died, or did they just die on their own?” the 68-year-old asked. “I think I’m going to have to have a séance. I think so,” Behar responded, without directly addressing Goldberg’s question. Case closed.
Back on earth, Behar added that she calls her “friend Susie, no matter what I have to do,” referencing her longtime pal and Curb Your Enthusiasm actress Susie Essman — whom Behar refuses to make gluten-free pasta for.

“I call no one. I have a cat,” Goldberg said, before putting the segment — and this topic — to bed (sans horny ghosts). “We’ll be right back.”
Wednesday’s moment came nearly two years after Behar made a stunning revelation about her sex life on a late-2022 episode of The View, on which she admitted, “I’ve had sex with a few ghosts and never got pregnant.”
Goldberg, whom has also confirmed the existence of space aliens in the universe, again brought up the subject of ghosts earlier this year, telling The View panelists that nefarious ghosts will absolutely come to get you “if they don’t want you” in whatever house they’re currently haunting and co-inhabiting with you.
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/PT on ABC.
