(Newser) – Joy Behar is about to get double-exposure on television. The View co-host will begin hosting her own 9pm show on CNN's Headline News channel in September, reports E! Online. Behar, 65, isn't abandoning the View; she'll just do both. Tentatively titled the Joy Behar Show, the program will replace a repeat of Lou Dobbs' talk show.

"I just can't seem to keep my mouth shut, so another hour of conversations with interesting, outsopken people about the stories making news is right up my alley," said Behar.
