“No, I didn’t! Because Joy is still a hot Italian, I ordered Joy a hot Italian pizza!” Lane replied.

Behar clearly enjoyed the performance, smiling and fanning herself as Lane and the other hosts laughed and clapped.

In the same episode, Behar joked about her age, saying she wouldn't say exactly how old she was because she didn't want anyone to “fact-check” her.

Although she appreciates the occasional striptease, Behar is married to a school teacher Steve Janowitz since 2011. The couple tied the knot after 29 years of dating.

During an episode of The view In May, the star explained why she doesn't “walk around shouting her love from the rooftops” despite being happily married.

“I don’t say it in private either, but still,” she joked. “Telling everyone how much you love each other and putting it on Instagram and Facebook, and then you get divorced and everyone's like, 'Oh, see?'”
