Fox News’ Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery dropped a bombshell on *Gutfeld!*, recounting her 2003 audition for *The View* with a blistering critique of Joy Behar, branding her a “bitter bore in a tacky wig” and dismissing the show as a “chaotic mess.” The former MTV star’s vivid story electrified viewers, sparking a frenzy online and reigniting debates about *The View*’s fading relevance. What unfolded behind the scenes at ABC, and could Kennedy’s words signal deeper trouble for the daytime giant? Hold on—this tale is a rollercoaster.

Kennedy began with nostalgia, recalling a promising audition after Lisa Ling’s departure. “I hit it off with Star Jones, and Barbara Walters—bless her—was a gem,” she shared, her smile fading as she mentioned Meredith Vieira’s warm presence. “We dove into conservative ideas; it felt electric.” The vibe suggested *The View* was still a platform for spirited exchange. But then Behar entered the frame. “Joy was flat-out rude and miserable,” Kennedy said sharply, accusing her of clinging to a comedy writer for scripted zingers that fell flat. “She wasn’t quick or clever—just robotic,” Kennedy added, her scorn slicing through the air.
The tension peaked during a testy exchange. Kennedy, effortlessly tossing out quips, got under Behar’s skin. In a break, Behar hissed, “I’m the funny one here.” Kennedy didn’t blink: “Cool, I’ll wait for your jokes to land.” The retort, recounted with glee, blew up on social media, with fans cheering, “Kennedy crushed it!” and “Behar got schooled!” Behar’s team offered no comment, but the jab stung—especially since Elizabeth Hasselbeck ultimately won the role. Insiders whisper Behar felt upstaged: “She guards her spotlight fiercely,” one source noted.
Kennedy’s story hits as *The View* struggles. Once a daytime juggernaut, it’s lost 15% of its audience since 2023, per Nielsen, with critics pointing to its lurch into polarizing rants. Behar, a mainstay since 1997, fuels the fire with outbursts—like her 2016 Trump tirade as “deeply upsetting” or labeling Mike Johnson a “sneaky opportunist”—that push away moderate viewers. Kennedy’s “chaotic mess” jab, while biting, echoes X posts lamenting, “It’s unwatchable now!”
Will this stir trouble for ABC’s flagship? Doubtful—Behar’s a fixture, and loyal fans brush off the shade. Still, Kennedy’s takedown, racking up 1.3 million views on X, has amplified her influence. “She’d have revived *The View*,” one fan tweeted. Thriving on *Gutfeld!*, Kennedy’s left Behar’s next move—or silence—in the spotlight. This isn’t just gossip; it’s a fiery chapter exposing the cracks in daytime TV’s veneer, with Kennedy holding the match.
