Repeat! All comedians have their personal routines for life... She will always be discussed as one of the best , if not the best for many. Thank you for stopping by the planet Joan, miss you.

Well said.

[@DanielEricksoncutter]

She is VERY talented to be able to perform after such a traumatic experience.

Absolutely the best.

[@misterashley]

Sad their relationship fell apart.

[@CookieZ3353]

Think of how different her life would have been if she remained true to Johnny. I'll never tire of listening to the same jokes over and over. Her delivery. Perfect.

[@joeyconvery2055]

[@trishaustin4101]

She walks like a truck driver but she's always dressed impeccably

[@tjwash5118]

She has such a strange walk, I’m not sure if it’s just part of her schtick or the way she naturally walks.

[@babybluee223]

TJ Wash It’s how she naturally walks but it definitely adds to her persona, I love her so much!

[@jwhitaker1119]

I think it’s the skirts lol

[@sargonsrobot2552]

Comedy Goddess

[@bobcummings8228]

LOLLLLLL!!!!

[@jaysons1465]

Heart attack. It says heart attack. She says he is doing better.

[@sheismymom]

kills me

[@peretzo]

if anyone could tell a joke...

[@xxcharmed1xx]

I have noticed Joan tends to use the same material in her stand-ups..

[@myaaurora]

Most if not ALL comedians do lol

[@jwhitaker1119]

They’re the greatest hits

[@jacksonurenmusic]

That’s how it goes. They tour for a show and use the same show the whole tour, as a musician does.

[@robbie780222]

Roman Polanski is a guidance counselor!!!!

[@joanketelby752]

As funny now as ever.

[@billgateskilledmyuncle23]

And then she was offered her own show and he cut her out of his life.

[@georgemckeon6710]

7:00 And then she stabbed him in the back.

[@markhendersonamodelofsurvi5771]

she did not stab him the back!!! you are totally wrong. He had her in s slave contract that ended soon and wasnt negotiating because he felt he owned her. She was offered 15 million $ to do her own show at a new network ( no threat to anyone) If anything- she did what all good friends at WORK do- sh stabbed him in the FRONT....she being a woman, had him flip out, I was THERE, He was a strange remote sabatouer

[@alonzo9772]

Oh is this right after her husband committed suicide?

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

No, after a heart attack

[@jaynodubya4300]

He killed himself by overdose. This was after he was fired and Joan lost her night talk show. Soon after her and her daughter went to therapy and she won an EMMY award for the best daytime talk show. She completely turned her life around after and she said when winning the Oscar that is one thing her husband always said. It’s a shame depression overtook him.

[@Sblueboy808]

She was never funny!

[@SuperFerndale]

what mess
