"I love seeing you!" - Sarah Silverman plants a kiss on Joy Behar on The View

Comedian Sarah Silverman appeared on The View on May 29 to promote her latest Netflix special, PostMortem, when host Joy Behar bid her goodbye with a kiss on the mouth.

As her appearance came to an end, panelist Joy Behar, 82, could be heard asking Silverman to “kiss me,” before saying:

"It's always fun to see you."

To which Sarah responded,

"I love seeing you!"

Then, when Whoopi Goldberg suggested the two “do the goodbye,” Silverman leaned over in her chair and kissed Behar on the lips. As the audience cheered, the actress joked that she would share “a little smooch” with the other moderators on the panel.

Ana Navarro quipped, “How’s her breath?”—referencing a moment on the show when Silverman inquired about a bowl of mints. Elsewhere in the show, Sarah spoke about her recently released Netflix stand-up special, which she wrote after the death of her father and stepmother in 2023.

"I recorded a special and before this one, the one before that was coming out as my dad and my stepmom were dying, and so when you're finished with a special, you're at zero again with material."

Sarah Silverman then opened up about her dad’s funeral, where she and her sisters wore his clothes, including “t-shirts and shorts, and there were stains on everything.” She also noted that she had a lot of funny stories about her father, and that’s what she started writing her material with.

The special includes emotionally resonant moments, such as when Silverman says, “There really is no age when you are ready to not have your own parents.” Elsewhere, she also talked about her father and said, “I miss him so much, I ache for him.” She calls her father her best friend, before using dark humor to connect with the audience.
