With a glint in her eye and a warm saucepan firmly in her grasp, Joy Behar gave The View audience a cozy welcome into the festival fall season with a jovial reminder that she once stabbed herself with a knife.
The essence of the season wafted through the talk show's charmingly decorated set Friday, as 82-year-old Behar and her cohosts helped celebrity chef Alex Guarnaschelli promote her new cookbook Italian American Forever with a fun cooking segment teeming with golden, homey November vibes.
Behar, however, broke the moment of tasteful respite from the chaos of the 2024 presidential election with a revelation she absolutely needed to make, right then and there.
"Listen," Behar said, clutching a pan in her right hand. "A couple of years ago I got what they call Avocado Hand. Be very careful when you cut an avocado. I stabbed myself, I had to go to the hospital, yes."

Guarnaschelli did not engage much with the assertion; nevertheless, Behar persisted.
"But, there is a thing called Avocado Hand. A lot of people do it. A lot of stupid people like me," she said. The show then moved on as if nothing had happened.
Behar's comforting memory confirms that knives are the latest in a growing number of inanimate objects that have plagued her with varying degrees of torment in recent years, also including a murderous View swivel chair that sent her tumbling to the ground, her apartment building's evil elevator that kidnapped her, shampoo bottles that often haunt her in the shower, and her nefarious army of digital devices that regularly interrupt the show's live broadcasts.
