Breaking : Finally, ABC issued an official statement confirming that Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg’s contracts will not be renewed because they are too toxic. Was it a wise choice…

innocently brought up a recent show she enjoyed in New York City, which seemingly prompted Behar to recall a production she enjoyed as well: “I could recommend one too! I saw Doubt the other day, with Liev Schreiber,” the 81-year-old said, referencing John Patrick Shanley’s popular play about a nun who suspects a priest of abusing a young boy. “Very interesting, about the abuse scandal in the Catholic church!”

The camera then cut to a displeased Goldberg, who held Pope Francis’ book Life: My Story Through History in her hands while she glared at Behar.”Yes, speaking of the Catholic church,” she said, slapping the book — which she eventually gifted to the entire studio audience — atop the Hot Topics table. “Oh. Bad timing?” Behar asked. “Sorry.”

Goldberg told Behar it was “alright,” though the comedian seemingly sensed the Ghost actress’ annoyance and attempted to course-correct. “Love him. Love,” Behar said. “Best Pope ever!”
