“I’m in a higher risk group because of my age, but I’m perfectly healthy,” Behar said in the announcement. “I don’t look my age, but I’m actually up there. The number makes me dizzy.”
Behar will take at least one week off from filming the show -- which is among those currently taping without a studio audience -- before deciding when to return.
