“It’s really nothing. It’s not that hard. It’s like faking an orgasm. Piece of cake,” Behar quipped, leaving the Hot Topics table in stitches. She then put on an exaggerated display of faux excitement, moaning dramatically, “Wooow! Oh, God! I love it! Oh, my God!”
Her fellow co-hosts, however, didn’t let her off the hook. “So, you’re saying we’ve all been duped?” Whoopi Goldberg teased, while Sunny Hostin joked that she might reconsider putting effort into Behar’s gifts in the future.

This wasn’t the first time Behar’s unfiltered humor sent shockwaves through the panel that week. Just a day earlier, the comedian dished out some risqué advice on navigating bedroom lighting during an NSFW conversation about intimacy.
“It’s OK to walk in naked with the lights on. But when you have to go to the bathroom, never turn your back. That is a mistake,” Behar said, adding theatrically, “You walk backwards.” Her playful but unflinching candor sparked an uproar of laughter, with co-hosts chiming in to share their own cheeky anecdotes.
