The Joan Rivers Show is an American talk show hosted by comedian Joan Rivers that premiered on September 5, 1989 in broadcast syndication. The show aired for four seasons and ended in 1993. The show was nominated for numerous Emmy Awards, with Rivers winning the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host in 1990. The series was produced by PGHM Productions, Joan Rivers's production company, and distributed by Tribune Entertainment.
In the mid-1990's the show was repeated on the E! TV network for several months. In early 2019 the show began re-airing on the Decades TV network, and it became available on the Roku streaming device.
Rivers had previously hosted late-night talk show entitled The Late Show with Joan Rivers which got canceled in May 1987.

Or perhaps he just dealt with her and do you know how much it cost to divorce someone? That's why couples who often go through conflict just stay together. They're from this era where a lot of this tolerance was going on too so I can believe it wasn't always sunshine and roses as they made it out to be.

i used to wait on Gary Morton frequently, he was one of the nicer celebrities that i waited on.

[@butterflyforeve]

I see why Lucy loved Gary. He worshipped Lucy

[@lionheartroar3104]

When I was a kid (and before every star lived behind barriers of security) my Father took me to to California and bought a map to the stars homes. We went to Lucy's house via a taxi. Told dad I wanted to take a picture of the house, so I quickly stepped out of taxi and ran to the front door and knocked. A very annoyed Gary Morton answered the door and told me Lucy wasn't home . I was only 8..couldn't resist...lol..I'm an old fart now and still a crazy Lucy fan......

[@Kaboomboo]

Gary may not have been the great love of her life like Desi was. But he was there for her when she needed him. And he never faltered in his respect and love for her. He made her laugh and made her feel secure. He was never insecure of her status or stardom. He was just always there for her. God bless them both.

[@OhSankYouDoktor]

Gary Morton is so charming, funny, and charismatic. No wonder Lucy was with him for so long. He was actually 13 years younger than her. Altovise seems lovely. Sammy died broke - amazing how some of these stars squander their money - and she eventually had to move to Queens and live with her mother. Makes you wonder where Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis, supposedly his best friends, were for her. This show was great. It was Joan's big comeback. I was lucky enough to see it live once, and while interning at CBS, I wandered onto the empty set and sat in Joan's chair. Oh, grow up - I did not damage or take anything!

So sorry for your loss.

[@LJ-ht4zs]

Gary does seem very nice and I never heard that he was a "player"I think if he were Lucy would have ditched him right away - once bitten - twice shy. The only thing about the interview that perplexed me was Gary's statement about the big heir being the US Government. Lucy left Gary Morton 20 million in her will. Even if the government got 1/2 that means he was left 10million - also their joint properties. I think there were at least 3 houses - one in Beverly Hills, one in Palm Springs and one in Colorado. 10 M would have been very very satisfactory at that time (or any time).

There are reasons for a divorce . Gary seems like a decent man unlike Desi with his cheating & drinking. L&D's marriage was 20 years. L& G's marriage was 28 years.

[@Ama-Elaini]

Lucy was highly patient towards Desi. Despite she didn't like his infidelity she didn't divorce him when he first didn't come home. Desi seemed more of a lasting flame and business partner of hers while Gary seemed more like her true match in nature.

[@Ama-Elaini]

@Chapman "Blood" feels like an excuse to me, to not even make the effort to change.

I think you're right. Lucy was devoted to Desi and he was a rat. Lucy had so much character. A truly remarkable woman, mother and wife.

[@butterflyforeve]

@@zapkvr and from this interview you can tell she was the same way with Gary. She was the leading lady but at home she catered to her husband. Its almost like she craved to give up the leading role to her man. If that makes sense. Idk if that's just who she was or if it was a learned behavior from years of being married to Desi.

[@jimhanold9026]

Exactly, Elaini!

[@jackievegas6987]

My wife and daughter and I visited the Desi and Lucy museum in Jamestown NY last year which is three blocks away from the National Comedy Center. The Desi and Lucy museum has all the original sets from ILL and the cameras and editing machines, huge wall murals and even the set from the vegavita Mina episode. Desi was heir to the Bacardi Rum fortune and so Lucy married up with him. She was also instrumental to get many females and minorities work even when it cost her great hardship with the suits and big wigs of the day. Desi, despite his philandering was a brilliant businessman and paid $5 grand per episode of ILL to own the masters of each film. I did stand up for twenty five years in clubs and across the country and despite Gary doing two lines on the Dean Martin roast of Lucy, I’ve never seen his act so it must’ve stayed in the Catskills once he became a gentleman of leisure.
