Joy Behar stunned viewers when she slapped her 'nasty' bare foot onto The View's roundtable during Monday's live episode.
The panellist, 79, claimed she has 'gorgeous feet' before being hilariously copied by her co-stars Sara Haines, 44, and Sunny Hostin, 53, much to the dismay of viewers.
Despite the hysterical antics, fans said they felt 'disgusted' and 'gross' on Twitter after watching the segment unfold, which caused them to change the channel.

It was then that Joy hoisted her trotter up onto the table as she butted in: ''Well, not everyone has gorgeous feet like I have!'

The host missed just eight episodes after ABC announced it was benching the comedian for two weeks - presumably ten episodes - following her last broadcast on February 1.
She had apologized for saying the Holocaust was 'not about race' on the previous day's show.
But on Monday, she was back on the air after missing just eight shows. ABC did not immediately return a request for comment regarding her early return as of Monday afternoon.
'Well, hello, hello, hello and welcome to The View. And yes, I am back… And I missed you all, too,' Goldberg said to viewers and her co-hosts at the top of the show.

'I've got to tell you, there's something kind of marvelous about being on a show like this, because we are The View and this is what we do. And sometimes we don't do it as delicately as we could.'
'But it's five minutes to get in important information about topics. And that's what we try to do every day. And I want to thank everybody who reached out while I was away,' she continued.
'And I'm telling you, people reached out from places that made me go, "Wait, wait, what? Really? OK!"
'And it was amazing and I listened to everything everybody had to say and I was very grateful, and I hope it keeps all the important conversations happening because we're going to keep having tough conversations.'
Back: Whoopi made a surprise early return, two days before her entire two-week suspension was set to end following backlash over comments she made about the Holocaust
The Sister Act star was placed on a two-week, unpaid suspension after the infamous January 31 episode by ABC boss Kim Godwin, who said she wanted to put an end to a 'culture' where The View host and her colleague Joy Behar could 'say and do whatever they wanted', insiders told DailyMail.com.
Whoopi had faced a revolt from staffers who felt she had crossed the line with her tone-deaf apology over her Holocaust comments.
She didn't shy from the controversy upon her return.
'It's not always pretty, as I said, and it’s not always as other people would like to hear, but it is an honor to sit at this table and be able to have these conversations because they're important,' Goldberg said.
'They're important to us as a nation, and to us more so as a human entity. So, happy Valentine's Day, y'all! And we’re going to get started, because that’s what we do.'
Whoopi thanked Darlene Love for her performance on the show, then after the break, there was a shopping segment with co-host Sarah Haines, after the next break, Whoopi appeared back on the show (which purports to be live) to sign off, but in reality she was already in her car and gone by the time that aired.
The controversy began when Whoopi claimed on-air that the Holocaust was 'not about race.' She posted a Twitter apology, then apologized on-air the next day on February 1 but was suspended after the show.
The outspoken host was due to lose $192,000 for the two-week suspension, sources told DailyMail.com.
