Amid a discussion about President Trump's feud with the Pope, "The View" host Joy Behar caught flak from her fellow co-hosts after she erroneously claimed that Jesus Christ did not declare himself to be the Messiah. Joy Behar announced on Tuesday that she would be taking a short hiatus from ABC's "The View," during the show's "Behind the Table" podcast. The show's producer, Brian Teta, said during the podcast, "This is your last podcast for a little bit, because next week you're not going to be here." Behar said the show had made her "bank" the weekend episodes, and told Teta that he should reveal why she wasn't going to be on the show during the week. The liberal co-host revealed she is going to Europe to perform in her play in London and Paris.
