Ever wondered how a simple fashion choice could spark a hilarious debate on live TV? Well, buckle up, because Joy Behar just compared her co-host’s wave to a T. Rex—and it’s as funny as it sounds! During a recent episode of The View, co-host Ana Navarro stepped onto the set in a stunning, floor-length red dress with dramatic sleeves that extended all the way to her hands. But here’s where it gets entertaining: the dress, while gorgeous, made sitting down a bit of a challenge. Navarro herself quipped, ‘Give me a minute. This dress isn’t easy,’ prompting laughter from the panel.
But Joy Behar, never one to miss a beat, playfully teased, ‘Where are you going in that dress?’ Navarro’s quick-witted response? ‘I don’t know, but I can’t wave.’ And this is the part most people miss—Navarro then demonstrated what she called her ‘penguin wave,’ a restricted hand gesture caused by the dress’s tight sleeves. Behar, always ready with a zinger, joked that the wave looked more like something a T. Rex would do, thanks to the short, stunted arm movements.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is it fair to compare someone’s fashion-induced limitations to a prehistoric dinosaur? Or was Behar’s comment just lighthearted fun? Let’s not forget, Behar is no stranger to making bold statements—earlier in the week, she openly criticized President Donald Trump’s calls to deploy the military to police crime-ridden states, even suggesting it could be a ‘pretext to stop the next election.’ Bold claim? Absolutely. But that’s Behar’s style—unfiltered and unapologetic.
