Joy Behar draws posthumous inspiration from crabby aunt

Joy Behar’s “Me, My Mouth & I” is a one-woman show, but she gets some posthumous help from her Aunt Rose, who Behar says got meaner as she got older.

Behar — who did three sold-out shows and got standing ovations at the Bucks County Playhouse last weekend — talks about her career and her family and “how much trouble I get into with my mouth.”

There’s talk of bringing the show to Broadway.

She quotes Rose as saying things like, “She got fat, but she got ugly too.” And, “Varicose veins are hemorrhoids that drop to your legs.”

Reached in San Francisco, Behar told me she’ll be back at “The View” on Thursday for an alumnae reunion with the current panel and departing creator Barbara Walters.

“It will look like the Last Supper,” Behar cracked. But which one is Judas?
