Joy Behar has been a mainstay on The View for 25 seasons, but in an evil alternate universe, she would’ve been a mainstay on another very famous show. Thankfully, her prayers were answered, and it never panned out. In an episode of The View’s companion podcast Behind the Table, Behar recalled auditioning for Saturday Night Live at the start of her stand-up career. Behar described being met with no laughs after she performed the character bits she’d come up with in front of Lorne Michaels. While Michaels famously doesn’t provide reactions during SNL auditions, Behar admitted it was “a little depressing to have to audition for somebody and they don’t laugh.” She went on to add that she “was so not ready for the stress of a job like that,” and felt lucky that she didn’t have to deal with it in the long run. 

Meanwhile, the Pop-Tart is getting its Oppenheimer moment, thanks to Jerry Seinfeld. A trailer has been released for Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, which tracks the 1960s-era race between Kellogg’s and Post to bring the humble breakfast pastry to shelves across the country. Co-writer and director Seinfeld is joined by Melissa McCarthy and Jim Gaffigan, along with a slew of cameos, including those from Jack McBrayer, Bill Burr and James Marsden. The film pops out on Netflix this May. 

Over on the timeline, we’re getting our usual daily serving of hysterical tweets. Today’s funniest include those about a daughter’s ominous kiss, a father who is going to be very upset and a mother who isn’t actually going to be a mother.
