He gave <strong>Whoopi Goldberg<\/strong> a peck on the cheek and shook hands with <strong>Sara Haines<\/strong> before Behar gave him a cheek kiss of her own, subsequently pulling him in tightly for one on the lips.<\/p>\n<p>Mount has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/articles\/star-trek-favorite-shares-heartfelt-224212056.html\">married<\/a> to his wife, <strong>Darah Trang<\/strong>, since 2018, while Behar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/joy-behar-why-i-finally-got-married-after-29-years-201169\/\">married<\/a> her longtime partner, <strong>Steve Janowitz<\/strong>, in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>After the kiss, Mount looked visibly flustered, despite the wild cheers from the audience. Behar\u2019s co-hosts looked stunned as well, with Haines\u2019 mouth agape, <strong>Sunny Hostin<\/strong> pointing at the smooch, and <strong>Alyssa Farah Griffin<\/strong> covering her face with her hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow,\u201d Mount said with a shrug as he sat between Behar and Hostin, wiping red lipstick from his face. Hostin handed him a tissue to help with the job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood morning, Anson,\u201d said Goldberg, with Farah Griffin adding, \u201cWelcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat? What? What?\u201d chimed in Behar to the reactions from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo wonder Joy has been talking about you all morning,\u201d Hostin dished.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know something?\u201d said Behar. \u201cI\u2019m old, but I\u2019m not dead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s it, Joy, because I am,\u201d responded Mount, as Behar playfully shoved him.<\/p>\n<p>The co-hosts continued to cite Behar\u2019s excitement \u201call morning\u201d for Mount\u2019s appearance on the show, before Goldberg attempted, fruitlessly, to pivot back to the interview at hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you okay?\u201d Goldberg then asked Behar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I just need a little bit of a [make-up] touch-up,\u201d she said. \u201cLast time he was here, he brought me flowers for my birthday, and it\u2019s never been the same between us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mount countered, \u201cWell, I got married, so \u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know.
