Joy Behar is a woman who spent last year getting "lit." This year, she's a woman who wants bans off her books.
The comic and co-host of "The View" on Friday announced "Joy's Banned Book Club," a new weekly segment on the daytime talk show.
"Book bans have become an almost daily occurrence," she said. "Last school year alone, there were more than 2,500 instances of books being banned in over 5,000 schools, including some of the best books ever written, like 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' 'Of Mice and Men' and 'The Catcher in the Rye.' Even children's books are under fire. So with that in mind, we're introducing a new segment on the show this week."
