ABC's "The View" co-host Joy Behar shocked colleague Meghan McCain on Tuesday with an "inappropriate" gay joke that she later urged viewers to simply pretend never happened.
The ABC News daytime gabfest was discussing Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib, who on Monday became the first active player in NFL history to come out as gay. The panel largely supported Nassib’s decision, praising him for representing the LGBTQ community. However, Behar cracked a joke when explaining she doesn’t know much about football.
"After they said ‘penetration in the end zone,’ they lose me," Behar said.
Behar’s comment made everyone on the show crack up with the exception of McCain, who looked visibly
disgusted by the remark.
"Of all the progress gay men have made since I came out. Our lives are still defined by anal sex ‘jokes,’" journalist Jon Nicosia tweeted.
Mediaite’s Leia Idibly called it an "insensitive sex joke" and Behar later attempted to backtrack, asking viewers to "make believe" it never happened.
"By the way, that inappropriate joke I made for daytime television, scratch it. Make believe I never said it," Behar told viewers.
