This ranks up there in the things no one wants to see. Joy Behar, co-host of The View celebrated her birthday with an impeachment-themed rendition of “Joy to the World” on Monday’s show. Behar loved the bastardized version of the religious Christmas carol so much she even joined in the merriment.
Towards the end of Monday’s The View, comedian Mario Cantone came out on stage with a piano to serenade Behar. But not before making a gross joke about Behar wearing Adam Schiff’s likeness on her behind:
“I didn't know what to get you...But I did get you a pair of Spanx with Adam Schiff's picture on it right on the buttocks so he's always behind you,” he teased before getting on to the impeachment song. Cantone started singing as Behar joined in, following the words on teleprompter. Even the audience joined in:
Joy to the world, the time has come
Inquire, Indict, Impeach!
Let every heart prepare his doom
He's broken protocol
But stays above it all
Our POTUS is genius or neanderthal!
He rules the world or so says he
But there's a great divide
While Scaramooch is turning and Little Schiff is flirting
His sycophants commence with Rudy on defense
And praise him with gold and myrrh and frankincense
Joy to the world, Pelosi stands
McConnell doubles down
The donkeys will unite, the elephants will fight
The House will say let’s go
The Senate will say no
The country will overdose on whistle-blow
He rules the world by tweet and meme
But we've got Twitter too
We log on to WiFi
And raise our mobiles high
We tweet impeach for Joy!
We tweet impeach for Joy!
We tweet, we tweet impeach for Joy!
Afterwards the hosts came out applauding and hugging Cantone as Whoopi praised the parody as "magnificent."
