Love it when Joan just played along and making fun of herself! Miss her!

[@crutcrutcrut]

Fans adore Boy George. No matter what he is or was. I almost had never read negative comments about him.

[@briansilkworth5486]

Two iconic personalities. Love them both.

[@jessicaforde8725]

YES!!!

[@carolineonline2112]

What a lovely woman Joan Rivers was. I love her friendship with Boy George.

[@midday2706]

I truly miss Joan Rivers. She’s had a way of bringing out the Laughter out of me. She was the person whom the phrase “you crack me up” was coined after. The skin on my face literally felt like it had cracks on it after listening to her. I have a feeling God is a serious man, but I’m sure He’s up there cracking up at her jokes.

When Boy George burst in to the music scene in the 80's, we ALL fancied him! I had such a major crush on him and I'm a straight female! It was just "him" we fell in love with - still am 🥰

[@harrietthomas4032]

I was convinced that he was a female and really reminded me of my older sister...

[@Me-fo1kk]

I remember Peter Goring ..."boy George isn't a chick mate"

[@Me-fo1kk]

Put ut this way..regardless.. we STILL love george.

[@lottatroublemaker6130]

Yes, we all thought he was the coolest ever! Well, still do, I guess… 😂☺️🤗💓💓💓

[@superdougie10]

Two of my favorite people, on the couch of one of my favorite talk show hosts. I had a huge smile the entire clip. This was extremely endearing for me to watch because I just love them all so much. Severely miss Joan, what will we do without her? Can you imagine what she would say about Meghan Markle.......?

[@hellobye7697]

Wow Sam smith really reminds me of boy George

[@Graigshooter]

that is so funny, i was thinking the same 😃

[@cleansingchapel5457]

Did she die from all that plastic surgery?

@@cleansingchapel5457 Ironically enough, she passed away due to complications of a surgery; but not a plastic surgery.

Sam Smith doesn’t have the star quality of Boy George.

Boy George & Culture Club were Massive here in the US during the 80's. I knew it when a friend of mine who was a Metal head secretly shared his copy of their Album "Color By Numbers" with me & swore me to secrecy!

Now in 2022 so many people, young & old have fillers, lip injections, face lifts, etc. Joan Rivers was ahead of her time lol.

He seems every reserved here. Normally, he can't stop talking about himself and dominates conversations. That said Joan was pretty quiet too.

[@maticbukovac6966]

​@@geoffdundeeto Sam Smith reminds me of an episode of a fab, joanna lumley saying Too fat, get out. The history of George O'Dowed, sorry if I spelt it wrong, from the blitz club, through all his ups and downs, has more talent in his little finger than Smith.

How ironic that it was surgery that killed Joan in the end.

[@kevinatkinson5607]

Yea but it wasn’t plastic, and I think she would of preferred that! 🤣

[@soggypaws4944]

Actually and ironically it wasn't she had a genuine throat issue.

[@amiemccalvin4316]

I remember that when Ms Joan Rivers was like 80 years old

[@hiltonwatkins6750]

Didn’t Joan not make it through the last tuck and lift? Kind of ironic isn’t it. Very sad. 😢

[@lisawinfield8982]

That is not how she died. She was having her throat examined for polyps. She was improperly sedated in her throat Dr's office and died from lack of oxygen. Her daughter side for malpractice. Nothing ironic about Joan's death. It was just sad and unnecessary.

[@andrev5992]

She was having a vocal chord issue and was at the doctor’s, and it was a fairly straightforward assessment. It was a very unlucky event.

[@lisawinfield8982]

@@andrev5992 "...doctors performed unauthorized medical procedures, snapped a selfie with the comedian, and failed to act as her vital signs deteriorated...doctors at Yorkville Endoscopy mishandled her procedure, choosing to perform a laryngoscopy on Rivers’s vocal cords, as well. They did not have consent to do so...an anesthesiologist expressed concern over what the larryngoscopy would do to Rivers’ ability to breathe, but was told she was being ‘paranoid’ by the gastroenterologist performing the endoscopy..." Not exactly an "unlucky event". Her death was completely preventable and unnecessary.

[@eb4676]

@@lisawinfield8982 suspicious at the very least. What stomach doctor is performing any surgery related to throat ? Its not on his field of practice to do so. Clearly prison sentence and license removed.

Botulism in his forehead??? You mean Botox?

Botox is the same toxin that causes botulism

[@johnryman1366]

12 days ago? Joan Rivers died in Sept 2014...why is this 12 days ago?

[@jakelover1731]

This is broadcast from the afterlife. Joan Rivers is now a zombie.

[@petermasefield8403]

It's from So Graham Norton circa 2000. So Graham Norton was when Graham was more underrated and less mainstream on Channel 4. Boy George looks tons younger. Joan is not nearly as Botox'd and filled as 2007 onwards. It's just been reuploaded, presumably because Boy George is going on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

[@RcsN505]

It took them 8 years to find the footage
