Joy Behar received a hot birthday treat from Nathan Lane on “The View” Friday.
The actor, 68, dropped by the daytime talk show to promote his Netflix series, “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” and surprised the TV host with a stripper dressed as a pizza delivery man as a gift ahead of her 82nd birthday on Oct. 7.
“By the way, you do not look whatever age you’re admitting to,” Lane told Behar as soon as he joined the ladies at the table. “You have looked the same since 1998. You’re the Paul Rudd of daytime television.”

Laughing, Behar quipped, “You know what they say — Black don’t crack, but Italian doesn’t either.”
After discussing Lane’s performance as journalist Dominick Dunne on “Monsters,” co-host Ana Navarro, 52, pressed the actor, asking if he showed up “empty-handed for Joy’s birthday.”
“No I did not!” Lane responded. “Because Joy is still a hot Italian woman, I have ordered Joy a hot Italian pizza.”
Cameras then cut to two giant sliding doors that opened to reveal a delivery man in a baseball cap holding a pizza box.

“Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it!” Behar said while gesturing to the delivery guy, who walked out to pulsing music and cheers from the audience.
As the pizza guy approached Behar, he chucked the pizza box, tossed his baseball hat, and took off his shirt.
The stripper then gave his best “Magic Mike” impression, breakdancing and gyrating next to Behar as she blushed. The comedian looked surprised and pleased, watching the pizza delivery man appreciatively.

Behar’s co-hosts couldn’t contain their glee. Sara Haines, 46, jumped out of her seat and put her hands over her mouth, giggling as she sidled to Navarro.
Behar, the last remaining original panelist on “The View,” thanked Lane and the male dancer before asking, “Where’s my pizza?”
The hot slice was brought back out at the end of the show.
“Take a little time to enjoy the view. This view!” the women signed off, pointing toward the pizza delivery guy on the stage again. Though he had regained his clothes, he quickly shed them once more and danced shirtless as the credits rolled.

Earlier in the show, co-host Sunny Hostin, 55, told Behar, “Happy Birthday, Joy! Celebrating another lap around the sun.”
Behar responded tongue-in-cheek, saying, “I would tell you my age but I think you might fact-check me!”
Navarro interjected, joking, “It’s okay, only the Democrats will do that!”
Behar’s birthday on “The View” was not quite as saucy last year.
“I can’t get excited,” Behar said of her 81st at the time. “I’m just glad I’m alive, okay? You know, you get to a point where you wake up in the morning saying, ‘I’m still here, my God!’”
