I saw her last show "Fashion Police" on E on Wed. 8/27/14 and she was in great form--irreverant, hilarious and hilariously rude. 

RIP Joan Rivers...have a drink with Johnny Carson. 

Thank you for the laughter.

When it came to insults, Joan Rivers aimed everywhere: Elizabeth Taylor and Justin Bieber, Michelle Obama and Michael Jackson. Even celebrity babies weren't safe.

And sometimes the target was Joan Rivers.

Here are five memorable zingers by the comedian, who died Thursday at age 81:

— "Elizabeth Taylor fat? Her favorite food is seconds."

— "I've never seen a six-month-old so desperately in need of a waxing," on North West, daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

— "I've had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware."

— "Boy George is all England needs — another queen who can't dress."

— "I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was 'the man goes on top and the woman underneath.' For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds."

this hurts, first mr williams and now another giant a mother
thanks for all the great laughs the acerbic wit and never holding back. god bless

Her death was caused by a medical mistake during elective medical procedure.  She appeared to be in good heath and certainly was very sharp minded until the end. 

This adds to the tragedy, in my view. 

RIP Joan Rivers.

Sad news, RIP Joan

" I watched her last HBO Special and laughed my ass off. She closed talking about how great America is then added...."That Vanna White is one lucky cunt ....... "


gimmekeef  ...........................

She ( Joan ) never , EVER consulted Johnny about the fact that Fox was in the process of offering up her own talk show .

Disconcerting and Disheartening as HELL !!!!!!!!

I do not believe Johnny trusted ANYBODY at the end   ....... NOBODY !!!!!!

Johnny Died alone  ...... his family wanted nothing to do with him   .............. he was separated from Alexis and living on his houseboat . When he died , workers found nothing but a cardboard box under his bed . In this box contained a Lifetime of clipping's from newspapers , magazines , etc about Johnny's Career  ....... it was the EXACT same box that workers found under his mother's bed in Phoenix, AZ the day she died  .

Emotional ............   "  Rosebud  "

" Finally, we come to the wrap: Who was right? Who was wrong?

Joan was wrong. She should have consulted with Carson, should have reached out early in the process, should have listened to what he had to say, and should have taken that under advisement. She should not have done what Diller told her to do, or Rosenberg. She should have listened to her own heart — what was right, what was wrong, what was fair.

She should have read that table a little better. She should have seen she was being manipulated. She started from a negative position at Fox as a result — at war with Carson, NBC and many, many handlers in Hollywood who would decline to allow their clients to go on the new “Late Show,” for fear of antagonizing him.  " 



Basically she ticked off the most powerful individual in Hollywood ( not to mention NBC and its affiliated agents , producers , etc who did not DARE let their performers go on Joan's show  ) .  Nice .

I was also a big fan of Joan's and watched Fashion Police faithfully. Joan Rivers had balls, she said anything about anyone and she was courageous to say things that nobody else would say, and she always did it to get a laugh. RIP Joan!
