Joy Behar Tells ‘The View’ That The New Apple Vision Pro VR Headsets Are Only Good for Porn: “I Could Be in Bed With George Clooney”
Virtual reality has been lauded as a new way to form connections and explore different experiences, but to Joy Behar, it offers little outside of the NSFW realm. The longtime View co-host rolled her eyes at the latest addition to the VR market on today's show, insisting Apple's Vision Pro virtual reality headset is only good for one thing: porn.
The daytime TV host — whose head is still very much in the gutter at 80 years old — joked with her Hot Topics panelists that she could hook up with George Clooney with the $3,500 VR headset, but doesn't have much interest in anything else.
"To me, it seems like the only thing it's good for is porn," she told her co-hosts of Apple's new product, which goes on sale next year.
Whoopi Goldberg asked her, "Have you ever worn augmented reality?" and when Behar admitted she hadn't, Goldberg told her, "It's way too close, believe me."
Behar wan't convinced though, insisting, "It puts you in the situation. I could be in bed with George Clooney, for all I know!"
Despite the promise of some virtual alone time with the Ocean's Eleven star, Behar was firmly anti-VR, telling the panel, "It makes you even more lonely. You’re in your own head. I’m not buying it."
Later in the segment, Goldberg reminded Behar that she was similarly resistant to another Apple product back in 2007, when she claimed she didn't want an iPhone. Now, even Behar will admit she's never far from her phone, and has since purchased an Apple Watch, too.
"I’m resistant. I go kicking and screaming and yet, I am attached," she admitted, picking up her iPhone and telling her co-hosts, "This serves a purpose … But I would not pay $4,000 for that thing."
Just give it another 16 years, Joy — we just may see you with a VR headset around the Hot Topics table.
The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
