Joy Behar Turns Her Nose Up at Award Show Glamour, Prefers “Jeans and T-Shirts” and “Ricky Gervais Insulting Everybody”

You didn’t really think the women of The View would skip a recap of Tuesday night’s (Jan. 10) Golden Globes, did you? During today’s Hot Topics segment, the panel dished about all things Globes following the controversial award ceremony’s return to broadcast TV as well as the standout fashion moments — and what Joy Behar would’ve liked to see.

As the women chatted about the event, Sunny Hostin revealed her own admittedly “vapid” takeaway, saying she “enjoyed the fashion” from the red carpet. The co-host went on to shout out Michelle Williams, Jenna Ortega, Billy Porter and Jessica Chastain as some of her favorite fashion plates, before Behar chimed in with her own opinion on the Golden Globes garb.

“Not to interrupt you on this — hysterical about the clothing, I know you love it,” she told Hostin. “Your revelry and your orgasmic behavior.”

Behar continued, “What I would like for the Golden Globes — because that sounds a lot like the Oscars — I would like people to come in jeans and T-shirts. And have Ricky Gervais insulting everybody. Now that’s entertainment.”

Gervais famously hosted the event five times between 2010 and 2020. However, he bluntly replied, “Fuck that,” to a fan who tweeted that they wanted him to host the 2023 event late last year. Instead, Globes viewers were treated to host Jerrod Carmichael, who led this year’s show.

“We don’t need to see the gowns all the time,” Behar reiterated. “Get loose and get real. That’s what I think.”

Meanwhile, Sara Haines shifted the convo back to the what went down at the awards, pointing out Ryan Murphy’s “highlight moment” when he honored Pose star MJ Rodriguez.

“She was the first transgender actress to ever win a Golden Globe and because there was no ceremony last year, she didn’t get to attend,” Haines explained. “He had everyone stand up and applaud for a moment that she didn’t get last year.”

As Hostin added, “And her dress was gorgeous,” Behar quipped, “Jeans and a T-shirt, baby,” to which Whoopi Goldberg replied, “Which is how I used to go.”
