Joy Behar joins the Current TV lineup

The latest edition to Current TV’s on-air stable: comedienne and former HLN talker Joy Behar. She’ll join the San Francisco-based cabler in September with a new show at 6 p.m. weekdays to be called . . . “The Joy Behar Show.” It’s to include a rotating panel of satirists and political commentators who’ll riff on the day’s news, TVNewser says.

Add: Behar makes her Current TV debut next week, filling in for another new hire, 8’oclock host Eliot Spitzer.
