In a bid to jump-start sinking ratings, HLN (CNN's sister channel formerly known as Headline News) is replacing its 9 p.m. repeat of Lou Dobbs' program with sassy liberal comedian Joy Behar, the New York Times reports.

The tentatively-titled The Joy Behar Show will go head-to-head with CNN's Larry King, whom Behar has filled in for with some regularity in recent months. Behar will continue to host The View in addition to her new gig.
