Joy Behar and Meredith Vieira

Friday’s episode of The View was the last hoorah for co-host Meredith Vieira, she’s set to fill Katie Couric’s seat on The Today Show. Joy Behar, Barbara Walters, Star Jones, and Elisabeth roasted their co-host for their send-off, but Joy Behar gave Meredith Vieira something to really remember, a French kiss!

Behar went in for the liplock during her turn at the dais. “I love you so much, you know that,” she told Vieira. “I just don’t know how to express it. So I thought to myself, ’What would Rosie O’Donnell do?’”

That’s when Behar made her move.

Afterwards, Vieira talked backstage about her favorite moments from her last day on ’The View.’

Vieria joins ’Today’ in September.

I can’t wait to hear Rosie comment on this Brokeback Mountain chapter in The View’s history.
