'Service dog' cohost helps Joy Behar get to “The View” table in too-high heels: 'I can’t walk in these'
"I fell once on the show, and I can't afford to do it again," the 81-year-old said.
Joy Behar no longer needs Siri to give her directions to the The View's Hot Topics table — instead, she's employed cohost Sara Haines as her "service dog" to help her walk to set in heels that were far too high for her to move in.
The 81-year-old began Friday's live episode by holding onto the arm of Haines, 46, as the pair walked out on stage in opening moments of the show. She held onto Haines until she took her seat at the moderator chair, with the panelist eventually elaborating on the move for the audience.
"We should explain the heels. Joy is in some pretty high heels, and normally she wears lower shoes. So, I was her companion," Haines said, as Behar confirmed, "I can't walk in these" before calling Haines "my service dog."

Joy Behar and Sara Haines on 'The View'Haines said that Behar isn't the only one who's enlisted her for the gig.
"Whenever they put us in wildly big heels, Ana's like, 'I'm grabbing onto you,'" she said of Ana Navarro, who typically joins the panel on Mondays and Fridays.
"Look at this floor, it's so shiny, don't you feel like you're going to end up on your..." Navarro added, while Behar filled in the blank with a memory of that time she famously fell out of her chair on a March 2022 broadcast.
"I fell once on the show, and I can't afford to do it again!" Behar quipped.
"25 years that has never happened! Who do I sue?" Behar joked at the time, quickly after she recovered from the spill, which happened after she attempted to get into her swivel chair. "I went flying.... I just missed a step, as usual."

Following Behar's spill, the show replaced the old rotating cohost chairs with fixed seats that posed less of a threat on set — but, the jury is still out on whether or not Behar is still the target of nefarious elevators in New York City.
The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET/PT on ABC.
