Joy Behar: Say Anything! was a talk show that aired on Current TV from 2012 to 2013, starring the eponymous Joy Behar, a well-known comedienne and former co-host of The View. The show aimed to provide a platform for Behar to express her opinions and engage in frank discussions with guests from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from celebrities to politicians to experts on various fields.

The show had a relatively casual vibe, with Behar often wearing jeans and a blazer, and engaging with her guests in a conversational tone. The set was simple, with a brick wall backdrop and a small audience that included members of the general public as well as Current TV staff. Behar's opening monologues were often humorous but also touched on current events and political issues, and she frequently used her platform to advocate for causes she supported, such as marriage equality and gun control.

One of the hallmarks of the show was Behar's ability to draw out candid and often unexpected responses from her guests. For example, in an interview with actress Jane Lynch, Behar asked her about her experience playing a butch lesbian on the TV show Glee, and Lynch revealed that she had been mistaken for a man in public on several occasions. In an interview with feminist icon Gloria Steinem, Behar asked her about her views on pornography and the sex industry, and the two engaged in a lively debate about whether or not these industries could ever be truly empowering for women.

The show also featured recurring segments, such as "Ask Joy," in which Behar answered viewer questions submitted via Twitter or email, and "Joy's Junk Drawer," in which she showcased various quirky items she had collected over the years. One of the most popular recurring segments was "Joy's Hot Button," in which Behar tackled controversial topics such as immigration, race, and religious freedom, often with guests who held opposing viewpoints. These segments were always lively and often sparked heated debate, with Behar never shying away from expressing her opinions, no matter how unpopular they might be.

Overall, Joy Behar: Say Anything! was a fun and engaging talk show that offered a refreshing alternative to the more rigid formats of traditional news programs. Behar's quick wit and no-nonsense attitude made her a great host, and her ability to elicit thoughtful and often surprising responses from her guests made for compelling viewing. Although the show only lasted for two seasons, it remains a beloved favorite of fans of Behar and of Current TV as a whole.
