Nathan Lane surprises Joy Behar with a stripper for her 82nd birthday

Joy Behar got an early birthday surprise when Nathan Lane stopped by The view.

On the Oct. 4 episode of the daytime talk show, Lane, 68, gifted the television personality, who turns 82 on Oct. 7, a pizza delivery stripper to mark the occasion.

As Lane sat down at the table, he complimented Behar and said, “By the way, you don't look as old as you admit. They've looked the same since 1998. You are the Paul Rudd of daytime television.”

“You know what they say – blacks don’t crack, but neither do Italians,” she replied.

At the end of his interview, co-host Ana Navarro asked if he came without a gift for his longtime friend. Lane then replied, “No, I didn’t! Since Joy is still a hot Italian, I ordered Joy a hot Italian pizza.”

Moments later, a pizza delivery man appeared at the stage door. As he walked onto the stage, he threw away the pizza box and his baseball cap before taking off his shirt.

The delivery man then carried one Magic MikeStyle striptease for Behar and her co-hosts. He kissed her hand and continued to show his moves.

Behar appeared shocked – and delighted – by his performance, while her co-host Sara Haines was stunned and covered her mouth with her hands as she tried to hide behind Navarro.

The talk show host then thanked Lane and added, “Where's my pizza?”

Last year, Behar was far less excited to celebrate her big day.

When her co-hosts tried to celebrate her on the show the day before her 81st birthday, she suggested she “just do the show.”

“I can't get upset. “I’m just glad I’m alive, okay?” Behar added at the time. “You know, you get to a point where you wake up in the morning and say, 'I'm still here, my God!'”
