Joy Behar always has a zinger up her sleeve.

The View host shocked everyone in the studio when she gave Charlize Theron permission to curse on the air after the actress narrowly stopped herself from saying the wrong thing on daytime television.

Theron was praising her Old Guard 2 co-star Uma Thurman when she almost made the slip-up.

“By the time Uma and I were together, it was just awesome. It was like everything I think all of us wanted and thought and imagined. She is just, to me, one of the greats. She really is, and I just loved her in all of her movies and I loved the other women in this movie,” Theron said.

Theron stopped herself short as she continued praising her co-stars. “It’s just so amazing to make a movie like this and have it be surrounded by women who get to really not pretend to be bad – I almost said a word I can’t – but actually really have their feminine strength in this,” she said.

Behar then interjected to tell Theron, “If you wanna say bitch, say it!”

The moment left even Behar’s longtime co-hosts shocked as they all laughed. “If you want to say badass, and you can say that too!” Sunny Hostin chimed in.

Behar continued, “We like that word on this show.”

The View fans can always count on Behar’s crass sense of humor to shake up the broadcast. She recently recommended that actor Mario Cantone try Ozempic after he opened up about feeling nervous before filming nude scenes for And Just Like That.

“Can we suggest, perhaps, the Ozempic for you?” Behar coyly asked the actor.

Her joke earned a few laughs. The moment was a callback to an earlier segment in the episode when she and her co-hosts discussed a strange side effect people are experiencing after taking Ozempic that reportedly causes the penis to appear bigger in size.

Cantone, of course, clapped back at Behar with his own fiery response.

“No, the Ozempic thing, it’s only because they can finally see it,” he said, causing the ladies of The View and the audience to laugh. “And I don’t need it. I’m Italian!”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
