Joy Behar humorously reflects on her birth name's roots, named after her 'wacky' Italian grandmother, Josephine, who once threatened her husband's return from America.
Behar's grandmother, facing a prolonged absence from her husband, sent a threatening note saying she would harm herself and their children if he didn't return.
Despite her family's wild history, Behar embraces her name Joy, which was inspired by her grandfather's suggestion to call her 'La Gioia,' meaning 'The Joy'.
In a mix of humor and frustration, Behar recalls a recent incident in Italy where she clashed with a train attendant over bathroom access.
