SURPRISE COMEBACK! Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar STUN Broadway Fans With Outrageous Off-Camera Move—The View Icons Team Up for HILARIOUS New Show “My First Ex-Husband” and Bring the House Down With Scandalous Humor, Unfiltered Banter, and Unbelievable Chemistry!

In a jaw-dropping move that has completely flipped the entertainment world on its head, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, the unfiltered legends of The View, have pulled off the most unexpected comeback of the decade—and this time, they’re not just talking, they’re performing!

Broadway audiences were left howling, crying, and begging for more as Whoopi and Joy made a surprise debut of their outrageous, wildly funny, and slightly scandalous new stage show titled “My First Ex-Husband”—a no-holds-barred comedic tour-de-force that has critics raving and fans completely obsessed.

“It’s absolutely hysterical, shockingly real, and brilliantly executed,” wrote one critic. “It’s the kind of show that could only come from two women who have seen it all—and are finally ready to spill the tea.”

A DUO NO ONE SAW COMING—BUT NOW WE CAN’T LOOK AWAY

While fans of The View know Goldberg and Behar for their razor-sharp political commentary and viral on-air squabbles, nobody could have predicted the two daytime powerhouses would team up for a live theatrical comedy that has the entire country talking.

But that’s exactly what happened last weekend in New York, when unsuspecting Broadway attendees filed into a small theater for what was advertised as “a limited-engagement comedy experience.” What they got instead? A full-blown celebrity stage spectacle complete with improv-style segments, scripted comedic skits, and brutally honest storytelling about divorce, dating disasters, and—yes—first ex-husbands.

“I haven’t laughed that hard in years,” said one audience member. “Whoopi and Joy were on fire. The chemistry between them is unreal.”

THE SHOW: UNFILTERED, UNHINGED, AND UNBELIEVABLY FUNNY

“My First Ex-Husband” is part stand-up, part memoir, part therapy session—and 100% pure chaos in the best possible way.

The show opens with Whoopi walking on stage in a bathrobe, clutching a martini, and launching into a ten-minute monologue about her disastrous first marriage. Just when the crowd catches their breath, Joy Behar enters—dramatically, in heels and a full 80s-era gown—holding a shredded wedding dress and shouting, “I want alimony and I want it now!”

From there, it’s a non-stop rollercoaster of comedic bits: reenactments of terrible dates, live Q&A with real divorced audience members, and even a rapid-fire “red flag” dating quiz that had the entire audience screaming with laughter.

At one point, the duo perform a sketch where they pretend to be rival divorce lawyers—for each other. It’s outrageous, heartfelt, and so self-aware, it nearly brings down the house.

FROM TALK SHOW QUEENS TO THEATRICAL ROYALTY?

The transition from The View to Broadway might seem like a leap, but Goldberg and Behar are no strangers to the stage.

Whoopi Goldberg first made a name for herself in the 1980s with her Tony-nominated one-woman show, and Joy Behar has long been a fixture in the New York comedy scene. But according to insiders, “My First Ex-Husband” isn’t just a one-off experiment—it’s a calculated step toward something much bigger.

“This is just the beginning,” a source close to the duo revealed. “They’ve been working on this quietly for over a year. And if the first few performances are any indication, this could become a full national tour—or even a Netflix special.”

In fact, industry buzz suggests that streaming platforms are already making offers, hoping to capitalize on the viral popularity of the stage show. And with sold-out previews, standing ovations, and over 10 million views across social clips on TikTok and Instagram, it’s clear the public can’t get enough.

“WE WANTED TO DO SOMETHING REAL”—WHY WHOOPI AND JOY SAY THIS SHOW MATTERS

Despite the laughs, there’s a serious heart to “My First Ex-Husband.” Both women dive into raw, emotional territory—reflecting on the challenges of aging in the public eye, the emotional scars of divorce, and how they’ve reclaimed their stories.

In one particularly moving scene, Whoopi and Joy sit on a couch and read real journal entries from their past. One entry from Joy reads:

“I was scared. I didn’t know if I was lovable anymore. But I left anyway. And that’s when I found me again.”

The audience went silent, then erupted in applause.

Goldberg later told reporters:

“We’re not afraid to be messy. We’re not afraid to be real. That’s the power of this show. It’s not just funny—it’s freeing.”

SOCIAL MEDIA MELTDOWN: #WHOOPIxJOY GOES VIRAL

The moment the curtain fell on opening night, social media exploded. Clips of the performance—especially a scene where Joy hilariously reenacts her ex-husband’s terrible dance moves at a wedding—have gone viral, and fans are begging for a national tour.

Some of the top reactions:

@BroadwayBuzz: “Whoopi & Joy just rewrote the rules of live comedy. This is must-see theater.”
@TVTeaQueen: “Give them the Emmy, Tony, and the Nobel Peace Prize for healing my broken heart through laughter.”
@DivorceDiariesLive: “Just saw ‘My First Ex-Husband.’ My mascara is gone, my abs hurt, and I want to file for divorce just to feel included. ”

Even fellow celebrities joined the chorus of praise, with Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer, and Lena Dunham all posting messages of support, calling the show “brilliant,” “necessary,” and “the most fearless thing on stage this year.”

THE FUTURE: A NEW ERA FOR WHOOPI & JOY?

So what’s next for daytime’s most daring duo?

Rumors are already swirling that Goldberg and Behar are in talks to co-write a book based on the show, combining their personal essays with comedic sketches and behind-the-scenes commentary. There’s also buzz about potential international dates in London, Toronto, and Sydney.

And if that wasn’t enough, sources close to ABC hint that the duo could be developing a limited series loosely inspired by the stage show—meaning Whoopi and Joy could soon be coming to a screen near you.

Whether it’s Broadway, streaming, or back on daytime TV, one thing is clear:

Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are not going anywhere.

In fact, they may be just getting started.

FINAL THOUGHTS: UNSTOPPABLE, UNFILTERED, UNFORGETTABLE

In an entertainment landscape often dominated by the young and the polished, Goldberg and Behar are proving that age, experience, and raw authenticity are the ultimate superpowers. “My First Ex-Husband” is more than just a show—it’s a cultural moment.

They’ve turned heartbreak into humor, pain into punchlines, and life experience into live gold.

So if you thought these two queens of daytime TV were slowing down… think again. They’re not just staging a comeback—they’re redefining what it means to own the stage.

And to their fans, their message is loud and clear:

“Don’t count us out. We’ve got plenty left to say.”
