Joy Behar<\/a> shocked The View<\/em><\/a> Wednesday morning upon pulling in married interview guest Anson Mount<\/a> for a long kiss on the lips live on the air.<\/p>\nThe occurrence, which led to surprised panelist Sara Haines<\/a> rising to her feet, happened shortly after the Star Trek<\/em> actor walked out from backstage.<\/p>\nMount approached moderator Whoopi Goldberg<\/a> and Haines for a greeting as the audience applauded, but when he got to 83-year-old Behar, she embraced him and went in for a kiss on the cheek. Behar then puckered her lips for a peck on the mouth, and when Mount leaned in, her left arm reached around his right side, appearing to pull him in for a longer, more passionate kiss.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\nJoy Behar and Anson Mount on \u2018The View\u2019Credit: ABC<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
