And Joy had viewers talking yet again when she was absent from Monday’s broadcast.
Fans worried that the presenter might be sick or may have retired from The View.
One tweeted: “If Joy have covid they should just tell us.”
Another asked: “Did Joy retire and didn’t tell anyone?”
“What’s going on with Joy? Still celebrating her birthday?” a third viewer wanted to know.
Joy is the only original panelist still appearing on The View since the show’s 1997 premiere.
Last week, Whoopi Goldberg informed watchers that Joy would be missing multiple shows.
At the beginning of Tuesday’s episode, Whoopi welcomed everyone to the show and immediately explained Joy’s absence.

She said: “Joy’s not here, she has the week off, and we are hoping she’s having a great time.”
Joy was absent the entire week, with part-time host Ana Navarro filling in for her.
Last Friday, Whoopi and the rest of the panel celebrated Joy’s 80th birthday without her.
“Welcome to The View. We want to start by wishing Joy a very happy birthday,” she said.
The other co-hosts cheered and clapped along with the audience.
“And we will have plenty of celebrating once she gets back here next week,” the host continued.
“But… we had to say it because she hates it when we do,” she said with a smile on her face.
The co-hosts laughed again and Ana spoke up.
“So, let’s say it in two different languages then. Feliz Cumpleanos,” the co-host said.
“Yes, yes, yes!” Whoopi encouraged her.
