Going to a nudist colony, or even a nude beach, seems totally out of character for Joy Behar. After all, on "The View," the comedian noted, "I don't wear bathing suits in public," referring to the fact that even a swimsuit is too risqué. In fact, Behar appreciates modesty so much that when she once wore a lace shirt with leopard print under a grey suit jacket on the show, it was a big deal. However, by modern standards, it was far from indecent or suggestive.

Still, the January 2024 episode wasn't the first time Behar had admitted the setting of her and her husband's first interaction, lending credence to the claim. In March 2020, The U.S. Sun reported that Behar stated in a segment, "I don't know if you know this about me, but I met my husband at a semi-nudist colony. It's true." Apparently, it was the early 1980s, and after seeing her future husband Steve Janowitz twice in one day — running into him that night after catching him in the buff earlier — the pair clicked.

In the 2020 segment, Behar clarified that she didn't get a good look at Janowitz au naturel. "He was far away naked," she explained. "Then, at night, there was a movie playing, and I saw him fully dressed." But she had to add that she explicitly remembered him from the day, potentially alluding to the fact that she was into what she saw at first glance.
