They were both so quick-witted, these old ladies were able to come up with so many surprising, raunchy jokes on the spur of the moment. They were both so good at "thinking on their feet" when it came to comedy

[@DavidMichaelCommer]

@@nathanfitzgerald6651 Yes, and it's no surprise at all that Joan Rivers had such a remarkably sharp and quick wit because that's what she was known for, but Betty White was known as a comedic actress and not a comic per se, like Lucille Ball, who always said she depended on other people's funny writing and physical comedy to get laughs. Betty probably could have been a standup.

Great clip, hilarious bit. She could have been a standup with her quick wits. I miss her.

[@dearjessie83]

I got to see Joan live, less than year before she passed. One of the best nights of my life. She roasted me and my husband (we were literally in front of the stage) to death and I loved every second of it. She then ordered us some shots of vodka (we are Russian) and threw her hair extension at me. I of course keep it to this day.

@Jeff Morse, I agree. And the way we restrict comedy so no one is ever offended. Dean Martin roasts were technically clean. But they said stuff on network tv that might not be allowed on cable today. Ethnic jokes to each other. Sammy Davis got pounded, Jew jokes, black, Italian, Irish. They used to do Sinatra and Mafia stuff. Then the guy's like George Carlin, so many great ones. Would Archie Bunker have been allowed in today's correct world? Giving a good joke, and taking one are now difficult to do. I miss those days too my friend. 😄🤪✌️☮️👍
