Talk about a hot topic. On Friday’s (October 4) edition of The View, it was Joy Behar ‘s 81st birthday — although she did decline to talk about the exact number on air — and her cohosts and the guest star of the day had a spicy celebration in store for her indeed.

Joy Behar is turning 82 on Oct. 7—but her co-hosts on The View decided to celebrate her birthday a few days early with a racy surprise. On Friday, Oct. 4, The View guest Nathan Lane (who happens to be a longtime friend of Behar) brought along a very special gift: a male stripper.

Joy will turn 82 on Monday, but the ABC show decided to mark the  special occasion a couple of days early by surprising her with a topless dancer who was disguised as a pizza delivery guy.
