Are you a fan of outspoken liberal comedian Joy Behar? I certainly am.
Most will know her as a stalwart on The View, but before that show, Joy Behar was a standup comedian.
Behar was born Josephine Victoria Occhiuto in 1942 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the only child to a Roman Catholic family of Italian descent…. From the late 1960s to the early 1970s, she taught English on Long Island at Lindenhurst Senior High School in Lindenhurst, New York.[7][8] She studied acting at the HB Studio.[9]

Behar started her career in show business in the early 1980s as a receptionist and later a producer on Good Morning America.[10]
She was a stand-up comedian and made appearances on ABC's Good Morning America and The New Show, a short-lived Lorne Michaels NBC project.

I'm Italian, but some people think I'm Jewish because I work the Yiddish. I also work the Italian, by the way.

You know, I'm a comedian the same as Bill Maher and Jon Stewart. We all came up the same way. The three of us have interest in politics; I call us fundits, we're fundits! We're not pundits!

I keep my stand-up comedy notes in a pile on my desk. I don't organize my act. I keep myself in a state of confusion. It stresses me out, but I prefer creative chaos.
