Behar to host Love series

ABC Family will premiere an original television "event" entitled Love,
Hate & Joy
, hosted by The View's Joy Behar.

It's actually a series of comedy specials about girl-guy relationships that
Behar will host and that will air on five consecutive nights beginning Aug. 11
at 10:30 p.m.

Taped in front of a live studio audience, the half-hour specials take a
comedic look at the many faces of love from dating to divorce.

Behar will give her own unique perspective on relationships, and each episode
will feature a special guest.

Guests include Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, Whoopi Goldberg and Gene
Simmons.
