Now Sara, 45, has thrown shade at Joy, 80, in another awkward moment on air.
The panel of hosts discussed who they like to bring to red-carpet events and galas as their plus ones during Friday morning’s episode.
Some of the political commentators said they always bring their husbands, while others choose to have their children or friends accompany them.
When it came time for Joy to talk, she said of her own spouse, Steve Janowitz: “I like to bring Steve to places that I might fall.
“You know, hang on to him. He’s very good at that,” she laughed.
Sara then chimed in to say: “He’s also funny,” to which Joy replied: “He’s funny.”
The younger host then threw shade at her comedian co-star, saying: “And you’re okay,” mocking the long-timers humor.
But Joy did not seem amused, as she shot Sara a simple: “Okay,” in reply before heading straight to the commercial break.

TENSE TALK
This wasn’t the first tense encounter the duo has shared, and during the same episode, the blonde issued a warning to the Emmy Award winner, shutting her down on air as their conversation got hairy.
The panel was discussing Megan Markle and Prince Harry‘s decision to step away from the royal family and accusations of potential racism they and their son may have faced.
The cast chatted about the couple in the wake of the release of a trailer for their upcoming Netflix documentary.
Sunny Hostin said on the show of Megan, 41: “And now we see that [Prince] William’s godmother was supposed to be her advisor when she joined the royal family and that person is also a racist.”
Joy jumped in, questioning, “When you say also, has anybody been proven to be a racist, or is that just hearsay?” to which Sunny responded, referencing comments Megan made in an interview with Oprah Winfrey: “There have been a lot of reports from Megan and Harry themselves about the questioning of what their baby’s skin would be.”
Joy then asked: “And who do they think said that?” at which point, Sara jumped in to shut it down with: “Should we really go there?”
In another uncomfortable moment this week, the redhead snapped at Sara for grilling her on her personal life in an awkward live segment.
PUSHING JOY
During Wednesday’s episode of The View, moderator Whoopi Goldberg introduced the topic of loneliness in marriage.
Whoopi, 67, read out several new statistics about married women feeling lonelier than single people.
Joy seemed to agree with the sentiment, saying: “There you are in the marriage and you look at him in his Archie Bunker chair and you’re lonely because he’s not there for you.
“Some marriages don’t work.”
Whoopi suggested with a flirtatious grin: “Why don’t you go sit in his lap on that chair?”
Sunny Hostin, 54, grinned mischievously and admitted: “It works! It works.”
Joy looked unconvinced, saying: “I don’t know, you might not want to sit on his lap.”
Sunny asked: “Oh, this Archie Bunker guy?” to which Joy replied uncomfortably: “Yeah, I’m saying. I said it already, you get lonely.”
Joy looked away, but Sara pushed the point, asking if the hypothetical man Joy was talking about resembled Married With Children character Al Bundy.
Leaning into Joy, she probed: “Is it Al Bundy-ish?”
Joy snapped, “Look it, I don’t know!” before gesturing to the producers and saying: “We’ll have to discuss this later, we don’t have time.”
