Nathan Lane delivers a pizza man stripper for Joy’s birthday

Joy Behar celebrated her 82nd birthday on “The View” on Friday — a few days early, since her actual birthday is October 7 and she’s not on the show on Mondays — and Nathan Lane gave her a pretty scandalous gift. Yes, the Broadway legend delivered a pizza for the host — sorry, a pizza man stripper.

As always, Behar jokingly referred to Lane as her first husband when she brought him on stage, as the two had been together a long time ago. Given this history, Ana Navarro made sure that Lane double-checked at the end of his interview that he hadn’t actually come to the show empty-handed at Behar’s birthday party.

“No, I didn’t! “Since Joy is still a hot Italian, I ordered Joy a hot Italian pizza,” he confirmed.

Then the stage doors opened and a pizza delivery man actually appeared, strutting onto the stage. But when he got to Joy’s side, he immediately threw away the pizza box, threw off his hat and started doing a striptease for the host.

Well, of course, this was daytime television, so he didn’t actually get completely naked. He just took off his shirt. But he definitely pushed in all directions as he danced before kissing Joy’s hand and dancing close to her.

While Behar herself appeared to be taking it all in, host Sara Haines was visibly taken aback when the man began removing items of clothing, eventually yelping and running to hide behind co-host Ana Navarro.

Of course, the show couldn’t end without another appearance from this mysterious dancer. After giving fans the typical marching orders to “take a little time to enjoy the view,” Behar took the stage again and danced the show to a close.

“The View” airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
