Larry King And Joy Behar Are Glad They’re Not WASPs

In a sneak peak of tonight’s Joy Behar Show, outgoing CNN host Larry King discusses with Behar an assortment of tangential topics. He starts off by asserting to Joy, “I made you.” With that out of the way, they talk Frank Sinatra, the differences between “a Jew and an Italian,” and why Joy Behar would never want to be a WASP.

The topic of Sinatra arose when the two admired the crooner’s staying power, as well as the suspicious disappearance of Sinatra’s enemies. This led to King musing, “The one thing I like about the mafia? They’re definitive. They don’t go halfway.” Behar agreed, adding, “It’s not like the Congress, where they pretend to be good guys.”

This eventually leads Behar to comment on how vigilantism trumps legal recourse. Warning to anyone thinking about stalking Joy Behar: don’t.

Behar: There’s no other way to deal with people. Restraining order? That’s a joke!
King: Do you know how many people think you’re Jewish?
Behar: I don’t care, it’s fine! Jewish, Italian—it’s all the same.
King: As long as you stay ethnic. You’ll never be a WASP.
Behar: Who wants to be a WASP? Why would I want to be a WASP?
King: What do they do, WASPs?
Behar: I don’t know. They golf!
