In response to some commenter requests, reader MikeS has produced a chart of the first 50 days of ratings for Headline News’ The Joy Behar Show and compared them to the final 50 days of the show she replaced, Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell. So far, Joy’s done no better in the ratings.
Remembering the tiff caused by earlier time period vs. time period comparisons, I’m sure this is not intended to imply that the two time periods were exactly the same in terms of ratings potential. They’re simply the numbers, interpret them as you will.
The trend lines above are 10 day moving averages.

No surprise here. If you want a strident voice mouthing Democrat talking points, there are already so many options on TV.
the most annoying woman on t.v…and that includes rachel maddow.
(and that’s saying something)
Joy Behar is a nasty partisan and while that can appeal to like minded people in small doses it’s barely tolerable in large ones (like a whole show to herself).
There’s a reason Ann Coulter limits herself to guest appearances on other people’s shows (and say what you will about Ann Coulter her ability to “work the media” is up there with the best of them)
are we surprised this leftwing shrew isnt doing better?
I didnt think it was possible to stake out a position to the left of ray maddow and keith. ..but she is giving it the old college try.
The should try running Lou Dobbs reruns during the same slot and see what happens. No one wants to hear or watch these female harpies.
Behar reminds me of Fran Dreschler (The Nanny) – loud, annoying, unwatchable.
There’s a difference for me between Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters. Sure, both are liberals, both ONLY vote democrat, and they’ve become a faithful source for wrong answers for decades.
But where they differ is where Al Sharpton, presented with new, contradictory information shows evidence of a person with a brain. I feel like, if I could present enough clear evidence, Al could be Conservative; that’s apdaptive intelligence. “Prove it, and I’ll believe it.” It’s a great thing!
Joy Behar is incapable of this. She’s still waiting to evolve opposing thumbs. MILES from this intelligence, don’t we hear enough from her during The (Liberal) View?
Maybe we could put Ellen on more channels, let’s see more of Al Gore….some folks just aren’t meant to have a show!
more screeching harpies we don’t need
I actually saw Behar once where I did not dislike her, she was MCing a pie baking contest.
My biggest problem with Behar is that she only agrees that another person can have an opinion if it totally echoes hers.
Does FNC have a link on its homepage to this website?
There should be a link, since both have that rare distinction of being both “fair and balanced.”
“The only thing drooping lower than my ratings are the bags under my eyes.
So no one watches my show, so what, who cares?”
I dislike her very biased (TEAM OBAMA) conversations with her guests that have the same opinions as herself.
“Behar reminds me of Fran Dreschler (The Nanny) – loud, annoying, unwatchable.”
Don’t be dissing Fran. I loved her show.
And thanks MikeS from some commenter.
Bahar is awful! I am not real crazy about Jane Mitchell though! I love the guy from “Prime Time” they should move him to that time slot or get someone a little more conservitive, middle of the road maybe? But that bitter old broad is depressing.
Honestly, I do not know who she is and I don’t care. All I wanted to know is about Ann Coulter. She is pretty and intellectual.
MANn Coulter pretty? She looks like Andy Dick with a wig on, Adam’s Apple and all.
I guess I could call myself somewhat liberal, but as I write I am listening to Sean Hannity’s radio show. I can’t tolerate Olbermann, Maddow, Behar, and especially Matthews. Have never seen Behar’s new show, I get enough of her on The View with four other people trying to talk over her so why would I want to watch her alone?
lol at mark-allen’s comment
Pretty soon on the ratings list it will say “scratched” and it can’t come too soon for me. What an obnoxious over-rated piece of work.
The graphs are obviously biased. I wouldn’t go as far as calling them “dishonest”, but… not being counted is the number of viewers Behar has been consistently SAVING in the key 3-86 demo.
i think she is the most annoying liberal left partisan. i can not stand this woman, she is one big mouth and i would never watch her, i’m all fox. give it up behar
Are the daily cable news ratings coming out more slowly than before… dying to see Beck/Hannity/O’Reilly ratings since the HC bill came out, when do last night’s ratings come out?
Oh great, its already starting. Just like everything else, the left is attacking this site because they don’t like the facts.
*sigh* It gets old.
@AppleStinx
Is that SAVING viewers the same definition as JOBS SAVED?
LOL
When I hear Joy speak I think of Charlie Brown’s teacher… Try it … it’s very eerie and true….
That’s such a shame…just when Joy updated her schtick from using “Monica Lewinsky” for every punchline to using “Sarah Palin” ad infinitum.
It’s no wonder her ratings are so low when even a super-supportive, true friend and sincere genius like Barbara Walters claims she can’t find HLN. What hope do the rest of the nobodies in this country have of finding it on their tvs?
Hard to believe a kool-aid drinking hate spewing hereford can’t garner an audience.
I liked The Nanny too and it was very funny!!
Joy who?????
Annoying, annoying, annoying! What a voice! Great for a Haqlloween witch!
Shows like this are the reason HLN and CNN are loosing viewers. Joy Behar was the worst part of The View, and they give her her own show? Whomever at HLN did this should be fired! She is a loud, annoying, uneducated harpie. No wonder no one watches this show.
I just realised that there’s so many right-wingers on this website. Ouch! Btw I love Joy Behar, need her for every Glenn Beck or Lou Dobbs out there. Ann Coulter pretty and smart. You gotta be kidding me right?
Whoever thought of Joy Behar for the type of show she’s on ? She doesn’t know how to end an interview with her guest , and her nervous awkwardness makes ME nervous , like her voice that goes right through me. Her opinions are so lopsided . She is sickening.
Why are you people bashing Joy Behar and praising the scum bags at Fixed News.She never stalked and sexually harrassed an Fox intern and had to pay her millions of dollars in out of court hush money like Bill Orally or rotted her brain on cocaine,pills and alcohol for several decades of her life a.k.a Glenn (retard) Beck.She’s not a piece of s##t racist like the entire Fake News Channel staff.Her show isn’t the home mothership for teabagging uneducated morons,gun packing Timothy Mcvay home grown terrorist want too be’s,trailer park inbreds,retards,racists and paranoidal crazy conspiracy wing nuts.The federal goverment is out to get me, O’bama supports health care death panels,he can’t be the president he was born in Africa. F.E.M.A has secret concentration camps where they kidnap and inprison conservatives (Glenn Beck ).Liberals are all Communists and socialists out to steal my guns.Gays and pro choice women should be put in jail.With this kind of mentality no wonder the Webster’s Dictionary definition for Conservative Republican is retard racist inbred wing nut.
I watch the show once it reminded me of the Magic Hour (Magic Johnson), it was terrible. Hopefully it will last as long a Magic, an hour.
jquick, you’re such a hypocrite! You’re bashing the people here who hate Joy Behar, and at the same time you are being hateful yourself.
“She’s not a piece of s##t racist like the entire Fake News Channel staff.” Oh, how cute. Calling anyone who doesn’t agree with you a piece of s##t racist.
Calling the protesters uneduacted inbred morans, how adorable! Tell me what do you think of the Bush protesters holding signs wanting me to be killed. They were way more educated then some protesters who care about liberty.
Next time you come to post on this website, try not to sound like an 12 year old.
hey jquick…
put your thumb back in your mouth and take a nap until you feel better.
JQuick,
Your entire reply was filled with nothing but hateful, personal attacks…the method of choice for most liberals. Your hypocrisy is as massive as it is jaded. You describe yourself as caring and compassionate, yet launch vicious attacks against anyone with the temerity to disagree with your opinion (see your entire post). You pretend to be the champions of diversity and tolerance, yet gladly exclude and discriminate against anyone with whom you disagree (see Rush Limbaugh’s attempt to buy the St. Louis Rams or Carrie Prejean). You imagine yourselves to hold a monopoly on all-things virtuous, yet you champion the abortion of children for the most trivial of reasons and you claim to be looking out for the “underdog” even as you trap millions of poor and black Americans in a perpetual underclass by robbing them of their independence by constant race-baiting and the creation of a nanny-style welfare state.
You guys crack me up!
Ill bet they miss Glenn! That was his time slot. Maybe they could get Oprah, she could sit and babble about O great one OBAMA for an hour. LOL Poor HLN, it tears me up that their having ratings problem. Try the truth for a while, that might help.
Seek professional help jquick.
jquick sez ;11/19 C’mon Keith stay off the blogs and do your homework for your lame countdown .down down the tubes you go ,along with this left wing hack .
All you need to get higher ratings is to put more buffoons like O’Reilly or Beck on the air. People love hearing fantansies that reaffirm their ignorance and racism. Eventually you reach the top — when you become Sponge Bob. The right wing is working its way toward that right now.
Although I consider myself fairly liberal I can not stand Joy Behar. Her mannerisms are very off putting and she doesn’t let anyone get a word in edgewise. She is often the only one laughing at her own jokes which I find very creepy.
AppleStinx, Took me a sec,,, Good one
Sad and pathetic and I don’t mean the JB show I’m talking about you sad addicted TV viewers. There is a big world outside your front door.
In addition to being obnoxiously strident and partisan, Joy Behar is a terrible interviewer. It is painful to watch her.
I really like Jane Velez-Mitchell. Joy Behar Show with guest Joe the Plummer was great! Lets face it if issues would have covered Acorn? Joy would be waiting for Larry to check out.
I love Joy!
She has an exceptional tonal quality to her voice similar to that of
ricocheting bullet.
I also like OJ Simpson, Keith Olberman Michael Vick Chris Matthews and Raymond Maddow !
hee hee @ rod…
Joy,
I can’t stand her voice it’s like nail across a blackboard. Can’t listen to it
I can’t listen to her she get me upset with negative talk hate talk she is very nasty person.
Someone please do us all a favor and take this bitch off the air. She is an embarrassment to all liberals! Heck, she’s an embarrassment to mankind! It would be one thing if she promoted her show as a ‘comedy’; but sadly, she actually thinks she is intelligent. This woman is truly the rudest person I have ever watched on television, and I say ‘watched’ as in past tense, as I can’t change the channel fast enough when I see her ugly face and hear her most annoying voice!
no suprises here, shes horrible
How can HLN put a show on that just spends an hour bashing people. One sided opinions,with a host who is the most disagreeable rude, obnoxious woman I have ever seen on television, and yes with the most annoying voice. She only has guests that agree with her and are as rude as she is in bashing everyone.
I hope she will be cancelled very soon.
I watch GLENN BECK and NANCY GRACE and I have that option and right.
Seems like not too many people want the option or right to watch Joy Bahar, including myself.
Jquick,
People that live in glass houses should not throw stones.
Thanks Glen for illuminating America.
I’m guessing jquick gets all his income from the gubmint.
as soon as her so starts i hear that angry, hateful, voice it goes right though me. Really i think you could have done much better!! I can’t stand her. You really lose a lot of viewers on her time slot. Also, why so many re runs with nancy grace?
first of all i posted that last comment and i spelled and said everything correct . I checked it before i sent it and than it shows up like that !!! wow i guess if i don’t choose to agree with ur so called news personality make me look ignorant …. I will clarify I started my sentence with As soon as her show starts…..
agree its like chalk on a board..lets hope she goes down with all the other liberals and her idol obama.. how quickly the mighty have fallen!
how could someone with a modicum of intelligence think this man is not out to destroy our country?
