Joy Behar who is leaving "The View" or got fired from "The View" or whatever is going to be doing stand up comedy again.
And it's likely that Barbara Walters and the rest of the View ladies will give Behar much of her material. Although, they might not be so happy about it.
The NY Daily News writes that Behar won’t hold back — and that includes talking about Babs.
Is Behar scared of how Walters' will react? After the Jump

Read MoreYou never think about setting your clocks ahead one hour would hurt Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer and Scott Pelley...but it does.
The AP writes that despite a busy week with the selection of a new pope, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts collectively had 11 per cent fewer viewers than the week before — and a glance outside the window reveals the primary reason why.
The simple act of moving the clock ahead one hour for daylight saving time is costly for the broadcasts, since the hour that turns from darkness to light happens to be the hour in which they are shown in most of the country.
It’s not just a one-week phenomenon. The newscasts will have to deal with smaller audiences until the clocks are pushed back in the fall.

Jeff Zucker was all giddy with excitement as his new hire Jake Tapper finally debuted his new show on CNN.
Zucker squealed "the prospect of Jake Tapper being the face of the new CNN had me more excited than anything...."
Tapper's show 'The Lead' debuted at 4PM Yesterday and THE NEW FACE OF CNN HIT THE AIR!!!!
So how much did Tapper kill everyone else on cable in the ratings?
Ummmmmm ..... he finished 4th...Behind Fox News, MSNBC and HLN.
Ouch!
We're guessing Zucker might not be as excited now.
MSNBC has bumped up Steve Kornacki (Who?) to the Network's show "Up" (What?).
Kornacki (Huh?) is currently a co-host on MSNBC's "The Cycle," (Double Huh?).
He will replace Chris Hayes (???), who is launching a new prime time show.
It's supposedly a big promotion for Kornacki who is openly gay, if anyone cares.
He now becomes the third openly gay solo host on MSNBC, joining Rachel Maddow and Thomas Roberts. Which puts MSNBC now 2 ahead of Fox News in Gay hosts but still far behind in the ratings.
"I want to thank Chris Hayes and his team for creating a totally original and incredibly smart model for political television," Kornacki said in a statement.
Jeff Zucker is rolling Roland Martin right out the door at CNN.
Martin broke the news on Twitter that he was leaving the cable net on April 6. He says that the network is not renewing his contract.
"Last day at @cnn is April 6," Martin wrote on Twitter this morning. Martin added, "new boss wants his own peeps."
Here you go Jeff Zucker:
When Larry Wert walked out of WMAQ in Chicago for a job at Tribune, if left a General Manager's job to fill at the NBC O&O.
NBC got around to filling that spot Today.
David Doebler has been named president and general manager of WMAQ, effective immediately.
Doebler comes from the president and GM of NBC’s WVIT Hartford-New Haven, Conn. A job he has had for the last eight years.
Doebler has his work cut out for him.
ABC O&O WLS has owned the news ratings in the market forever.
KEYT Anchor Paula Lopez is still not back on the air after a bizarre episode where she "went missing" for a brief period.
The anchor was reported missing and was part of a massive police search. She was later found safe in her home and her family and cops calling her disappearance a private matter.
She supposedly had a "medical condition" that lead to her disappearance, but no one is saying that medical condition is.
She has not returned to the at KEYT since the incident. KEYT Anchor C.J. Ward did tell viewers on Friday night that Lopez will be resuming her job soon.
After the the Jump, She was spotted in Public this Past Weekend
Read MoreNBC will not confirm anything, only to say that Maria Shriver is working on Pope coverage for NBC.
But, FTVLive will bet you a nickel that her role will continue to expand at the Peacock. She sent out this Tweet just a few minutes ago:
Thank God it's not a ratings book.
Blazebusters responded to WOAI for a reported fire at the station.
The station reports "At approximately 5:00 a.m. a fire alarm was triggered at WOAI-TV, and the building was evacuated. Fire units arrived shortly thereafter. The fire was contained to second floor offices. We expect to have electricity restored to the building by noon, and we anticipate having WOAI-TV on the air later this afternoon," explained WOAI-TV General Manager John Seabers.

Read MoreOn February 4th, FTVLive packed as much explosives as we could and hit the switch. We blew up the paywall that was surrounding this website, making it free to everyone.
6 weeks later, it looks like we made the right decision in going free.
Some interesting stats in the first 6 weeks.
Just about every TV market has a ratings leader.
It seems there is always that one station, no matter what they win the ratings. It also seems like every market has a ratings dog. The station that sits in last place and never seems to leave the ratings basement.
Then there's Pittsburgh.

Read MoreThe rumors are Jay Leno is going to be out at the Tonight Show. Word is that it will be officially announced sometime in May.
FTVLive told you that one NBC suit was pissed off that Leno keeps taking shots at NBC and the suits that run the place.
It appears Leno could care less. He's one of his jokes from his monologue last night:
"You know the whole legend of St. Patrick, right?" Jay Leno said in his Monday "Tonight Show" monologue. "St. Patrick drove all the snakes out of Ireland -- and then they came to the United States and became NBC executives. It's a fascinating story."
Ouch!
Last we looked the petition for CNN to apologize over the way they reported the Steubenville Rape case had reached over 75,000 signatures.
The big question is whether CNN's new President Jeff Zucker will respond in any way to acknowledge all those people that took the time to sign it?
