Fans of The View were in for a treat this week when the daytime talk show played a side-splitting clip from Saturday Night Live that brilliantly mocked one of its most iconic moments: the fiery on-air clash between Meghan McCain and Joy Behar. The moment, which has since gone viral, left viewers laughing and reminiscing about the unforgettable drama that unfolded on the ABC show.
During a recent episode of The View, the co-hosts revisited the viral SNL skit that parodied their now-legendary argument. The sketch, which originally aired on SNL in 2021, featured cast members Chloe Fineman and Cecily Strong perfectly capturing the tension and comedic chaos of McCain and Behar’s heated exchange. From Behar’s signature eye rolls to McCain’s dramatic hand gestures, the impersonations were spot-on—and the View audience couldn’t get enough.
“That amazingness,” Joy Behar quipped as the clip played, laughing along with her co-hosts. Even Meghan McCain, who left the show in 2021, took to social media to share her reaction, writing, “Okay, this is actually hilarious. Well done, SNL!”
The original argument between McCain and Behar became a pop culture sensation, with fans and critics alike debating everything from their differing political views to their on-screen chemistry. The SNL skit brilliantly amplified the drama, adding a layer of humor that even the View co-hosts couldn’t resist.
Social media exploded with reactions after the clip resurfaced, with fans calling it “comedy gold” and praising SNL for its sharp satire. “This is why I love SNL—they nailed it!” one Twitter user wrote. Another added, “Joy and Meghan’s fight will forever be iconic, and this skit just made it even better.”
Whether you’re Team Joy, Team Meghan, or just here for the laughs, one thing’s for sure: this SNL skit is a must-watch. And with The View bringing it back into the spotlight, it’s clear that some TV moments are simply too good to forget.
