Aubrey Plaza and Joy Behar’s playful exchange on The View took an unexpected turn during a live segment. The moment centered on Plaza’s surprising claim that she was the ghost Behar once said she had sex with, reviving one of the show’s most viral and bizarre stories.
Aubrey Plaza jokes about Joy Behar’s old sex story
Aubrey Plaza joked on The View that she was the ghost Joy Behar once claimed to have sex with. The actress appeared on the October 8, 2025, episode to promote her new children’s book and made the statement during a discussion about Behar’s past on-air confession. The moment followed Behar’s 2022 remark, when she said, “I’ve had sex with a few ghosts, never got pregnant.”
Sunny Hostin reminded Behar of her earlier viral claim, leading Behar to respond, “Why? I was making it up. It must’ve been a dream.” A clip of the 2022 episode was then replayed for the audience. Plaza continued the conversation by telling Behar, “Well, Joy, the thing that you didn’t know is that you didn’t have sex with my ex-ghost, you had sex with me. I was the ghost! I’m a shapeshifter, and I was the ghost you had sex with.”
Behar laughed and replied, “Wait until they get a load of that on Entertainment Weekly. If you thought the ghost was bad, this’ll be hot.” The joke came amid a lighthearted segment with Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin on the panel.
Plaza had previously referenced the story on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, saying, “Joy Behar has sex with ghosts. Not only did she have sex with ghosts, she’s proud of it. Look it up!” The Parks and Recreation alum’s appearance continued The View’s tradition of humorous and paranormal-themed conversations, which have included Goldberg’s frequent remarks about haunted topics.
