[@oliverangelo1075]

nobody will ever have comedic timing quite like Joan. What a treasure.

[@youknowme8578]

Yes, other than what she did to her face as she aged. She didn't even look our species.

[@ataraw.6142]

Spit fire comebacks. She was brilliant. Unabashedly not politically correct.

[@alexorozco7402]

She really is a tornado, no other comedian works with such timing. Is like music and she hits every mark. LOVE HER!!!

[@user-zx5kq6hs9d]

May she R.I.P.🥰☮🦋

[@TheBlueScarecrow]

No one could ever fill her shoes. She is a walking cornucopia of jokes with a delivery that is spot on every time. A classy act with a bright and wonderful smile. We love you Joan! Be safe, happy and at peace wherever you are. We miss you!

[@gordonrobertson9072]

And she is smart she married an Englishman. From an Ex Brit.

[@ceceliaadams]

I love her as a comedian! She was hilarious 😂 r.i.p. wherever you are! 🎉❤❤

[@barbraantonucci3246]

Rest in peace joan you were the best.❤😊

[@user-ky7pt8pp9i]

Felt really depressed today. Watched Joan and feel so much better Thank you Joan. You may not be here on this earth, but your spirit lives on. Xxx

[@Visiblediety]

God I miss her !! She truly was one of the greats !

[@fraiser3330]

2023 still hilarious 😂

[@mrs.herculepoirot7763]

The couple who Joan was teasing about the ring are the Emanuels. They designed Princess Diana's wedding dress.

[@OCSpartican]

That’s great to know.

[@TerriKash-NEO]

Oh that's so interesting. 😂

[@shmadsta]

Her stories at the end about Lenny Bruce and Johnny Carson are pretty incredible and sincere. She was truly the best.

[@robjack2804]

Joan's delivery is just music! Amazing. She was also really good looking.

[@jayneybee5787]

So many of the audience are no longer with us. I miss Joan’s acerbic wit. May they RIP.

[@elizabethneville3086]

She's one of the few people who make me LOL over and over!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ataraw.6142]

She and carol burnett.

[@aljocammo765]

I saw her in las vegas She gave me and a few guests flowers. Laughed so hard next day my throat was sore.

[@stevewestlondon1955]

The amazing Joan. No one touches her. Fabulous talent 🙏💋

[@SandyMcInnesMagicMemories]

Those designers she goes into the audience to talk with are David & Elizabeth Emmanuel who designed Princess Diana’s wedding dress.

[@williamprimavera6483]

I saw her in a sleazy Greenwich Village bar (on the second floor, at that) where they had to convince us to go upstairs to see her act. That was 60 some years ago...and I still remember her joke about how it hurts to have a child. She said that she screamed and screamed and everybody in the neighborhood heard her...and that was just during conception.

[@jjf609]

She's fantastic. To be able to have her comedic skills on the spot is amazing. I'm sure any comedian would agree, this format where she doesn't know what is going to be asked is the toughest.

[@limeyosu2000]

She has the best timing ever most comedians can’t even come that close RIP Joan

[@DavidMChannel]

Im reading a biography about her now and apparently she got a lot of flack early on for delivering her jokes to fast which is so strange to me when I think her fast paced delivery is part of what makes her performance work

[@user-wi4mg2jn9h]

She has added so much joy and laughter to my life. It is an enormous gift to see her many shows and interviews on KZbin.

[@daryllinton8107]

I love the fact that she went full Jewish Mom mode on the ring 😂😂😂😂😂

[@truthseeker000000]

HM Queen Joan Rivers. She’s the OG of female comedians. I’ve never seen this one from the 80s. I laughed so had and loved every minute of it. Thank you for sharing this. Ms Rivers made the world a joyful one. ❤️

[@simonwhite3858]

RIP you lovely lady, you always made me laugh, thank you

[@maudeboggins9834]

Ms. Rivers was dynamite. Vastly superior to so many other stand ups. Clever, clever, clever. I truly miss her. She'd be 90 this year amazingly. She never lost her quick wit.

[@Househead1200]

Killer lines with impeccable delivery and genuine warmth. A pro.

[@tommyo2450]

God I miss those days and really miss her.. There's just noone like that anymore..

[@AGreen-gv7iv]

Sad that she's gone! So quick witted and funny!

[@jhunifiedwithlove9750]

There’s no one like “The Joan Rivers.” I miss her… And I love how everyone in the audience dressed up and exert a lot of effort. Miss those days.

[@Afishontik]

Pure brilliance 💎

[@robertsheppard5556]

Her irreverent sense of humor is priceless. She's so brilliant it wouldn't be possible to get offended by her jokes -- even though she's taken on some taboo subjects. Best comedian of our time.

[@PatriciaAtkins-jp6tb]

Love Joan Rivers

[@eddieharrison3801]

Love her always

[@dinkohrvat344]

Complete comic GENIUS ....no one comes even close . What an enormous talent she was

[@waynefay8210]

I’m 70yo Australian we never saw much of Joan but she has always been on my radar This is her best performance I have seen so far Apart from her comedic talents , she is a very very attractive woman

[@MrTbk1701]

I haven’t seen this one. I was laughing the whole time. The world misses you ❤

[@DeeDeex007o]

Joan Rivers is my spirit animal! I simply adore her! RIP beautiful!

[@paulwalker6297]

One of THE very best - R.I.P. Joan, we miss you 💖 🙂 xx

[@CarlEuegene]

This is world class comedy!

[@france7024]

Timeless and brilliant.

[@lvgxc10]

Wow! 1st time I’ve come across Joan Rivers… gonna be hear for the next generation xx

[@davidmaclennan5925]

Absolute Best “ Lady comedian “ of all time! Like Robin Williams, you can just watch it over and over and over again and it will keep you warm inside and your cheeks aching.

[@jacquelinepender2613]

Brilliant!! There will never be another Joan…

[@Veronica4u2day]

She was the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@orelas167]

Such a masterful first minute, I really enjoy watching it. She takes such care to warm up the crowd and flatter it, then BOOM! Knocks everyone's socks off with a classic!

[@maxinejarrett7077]

Made my year seeing this, wow she was a force of nature. So many faces from the past of British tv.

[@helsbels2582]

The good old days when people didn’t get so offended so easily.

[@tranzco1173]

Microaggression. You are reported and cancelled.

[@wpotc]

The good old days? Did you miss the part where she mentioned she didn’t get a break for 7 years because her comedy was considered too wild and offensive?

[@johndean4765]

I'm no prude but repeatedly Joan Rivers would swear using the f word I cannot understand an audience finding that funny because it's not.Comedians are doing it all the time to get cheap laughs.

[@akrenwinkle]

@@johndean4765 Young Richard Pryor told Merv Griffin, who was an early booster of Pryor's career, that he felt he had to talk dirty because that's what his audience wanted.

[@richardliberman9810]

Love this woman she always makes me laugh I miss her.

[@Afishontik]

Next hurricane in Florida needs to be called Joan Rivers. 💨🌀

[@Vincent50]

Again Ms Joan had me in tears from laughter. Miss her so much!

[@khuszar6778]

Comedic genius 😎💕

[@debmallow4558]

She was absolutely the best!

[@DaveAlan]

The most hysterical woman in the world!! The best comedian ever! RIP Joan!

[@janiceyoung7273]

It's so sad Joan has gone to the other side, one of the greatest comedic.May she FOREVER REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.

[@markylon]

Ironically had she not craved plastic surgery she will still be alive today

[@akrenwinkle]

@@markylon She went in to those butchers for an endoscopy, which is not plastic surgery. They couldn't resist goofing around, taking selfies, whatever. Melissa got a very big settlement, but the medical office never admitted wrongdoing. I hope they had to shut down, but I don't know about it.

[@gijoelover]

I love that she had "Anchors Aweigh" playing before and after the show. It's a navy song.

[@craigandsnowwadam4511]

Love ❤️ you Joan and Paul !! You both will always have a special place in my heart ❤️!! ,…. See ya soon !!

[@Joy-ul5fl]

Joan at the peak of her elegance and beauty! WOW thanks for this video!

[@ivorytower99]

Ever since the early 80s, I had loved Joan and her sense of humor! Rest in Peace~

[@hopebgood]

5:50 "Isn't that a great joke? Marie Osmond told me that joke." 🤣

[@aarondigby5054]

She really nailed that Marie Osmond joke.

[@mkrisshnan]

only practice can keep you on your toes like this. Hard worker and self-made!!

[@abhinavvatsa7832]

Jesus how does she do it? Incredible

[@fridaymorning139]

Thank you for uploading the full version of this! The other video on KZbin is missing a bunch of parts, but this one isn't! Thanks!

[@UnkDrummer]

I'm glad you like it

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

Joan was the BEST! The world could use her comedy again. Everyone is so thin skinned and offended by everything.

[@robeastwood5112]

She was brilliant, so quick and sharp

[@prohibitionaddiction]

Now THIS is comedy!!!

[@tranzco1173]

Microaggression. CIS offender Reported and Cancelled. LGBURQT+ community informed of your transgression. Repent.

[@michdoug1]

You’re right, comedy has been subdued….

[@user-fb4sb1zi8g]

@@michdoug1 bc some people look for ways to feel offended these days and cancel anyone they disagree with, which makes comedians afraid to say what they really want to say. Look up Lisa Lampanelli from 10-15 years ago and the stuff she said was hilarious but would never fly these days.

[@maudeboggins9834]

Ms. Rivers' brain was a spit fire. She was in the UK & adapted her act to accommodate plus the V sign. She adapted to each English speaking country & never missed a beat.

[@markylon]

Except when she said are you nursing, which is an American term for Breast Feeding.

[@user-qy6cq7tp9b]

We need her 😢❤

[@nicksmith4361]

A brilliant comedian I unfortunately didn’t appreciate in the day. She really was Master Class.

[@susannah1948]

Great stuff. So nice to see all the famous faces.

[@janetfigley1026]

Talent overload!!!

[@Pyotroosh76]

It seems that I was 8 when this show was aired. But holy creations… Joan is so “over the age”. No matter how old you are you get into her sense of humour. A real Diva.

[@larrypatterson5363]

This was before Edgar killed himself, and Joan was still in a good frame of mind. His death greatly impacted her and her comedy. R.I.P. Joan!

[@ayoayo7730]

Who is Edgar and why did he kill himself ?

[@larrypatterson5363]

@@ayoayo7730 Edgar was her prominent husband (I believe he was a psychologist) who suffered from depression for many years. He ultimately killed himself.

[@jamescarrollau]

@@larrypatterson5363 He wasn't a psychologist, he was a German-born British film and television producer. After Joan left Carson to start her own late night show at FOX with Edgar as the Executive Producer, it failed and he killed himself from guilt.

It’s so iconic. Those people not laughing seem like the barriers and she is just reading straight through them. A true legend. Loved this!
