The 70-year-old comedian is leaving the ABC daytime talk show at the end of the current season in August.
The network said in a statement on Thursday that it wishes Behar "all the best in this next chapter, and are thrilled that we have her for the remainder of the season."
Behar has co-hosted the show for 16 seasons, and was among the first co-hosts with co-creator Barbara Walters.
