Joan Rivers Monologue - Saturday Night Live

[@helenlauer9545]

she is a force of nature. Nobody makes me laugh out loud like Joan Rivers. Even if I heard it from her already. How? I mean, how can anyone be that funny?

[@dg1986-b1m]

For me, one of the Great Ones. What a woman!

[@Fishing4life1997]

couldn’t agree more

[@yomilalgro]

The best

[@garykass114]

I used to love the way she clapped her hands. Like a walrus smacking his flippers.

This, THIS is how to open SNL !! Not plugging your newest movie ....

[@whateverdv]

I'm exhausted. Brilliant, one of a kind, and I miss her so much.

[@thezmanchar]

She was a very classy woman. She lived to entertain people, and just make them laugh. I have been watching her speech at the Emmy’s when she was voted as bestTV host. To this day, she still gets me all teary eyed. She was stunning that night.

[@Montofly]

THIS IS STILL SOOOOO FUNNY :D :D :D R.I.P. Joan, make the Heaven laugh !

[@kashmirireacts4074]

These are the most number of jokes in any monologue ever. And, all of them landed successfully 🔥

[@Zamarae]

Lol very funny I never seen Joan’s do a stand up until now. I remember her mostly from being someone who said sassy things about celebrities. She was very witty and wow never heard such fast delivery and yet I caught it all.

[@beuxjmusic]

Relentlessly funny.

[@jolinailocana]

My idol in stand up comedy and of course her iconic fashion police grilling of stars , still.cant believe shes gone . I miss her

Man, she came out of them doors swingin'!

This episode of SNL was one of the funniest ever aired.

[@kwdrm1]

The only person to have hosted both the Tonight Show AND SNL.

[@kwdrm1]

Outside of Steve Martin.

[@themajordudes8194]

Why did she do two monologues in this episode?

[@toddmastrianna1780]

Are there any female (or male) comics out these days even near this funny? If so, who?

Had no idea she ever hosted SNL. Though I don't believe she was ever invited back once she relocated to NYC. What madness!!!

Exactly. The Elizabeth Taylor bit was so funny. "Her blood type is Ragu" LMAO

The Carrie joke lol

[@craigfleshman2715]

The funniest woman who ever lived.

[@jdubz1290]

3:32 they signal her to wrap it up so they can get on with the show. Joan could've kept cracking jokes all night and the crowd would've loved it

[@TGGaineyProductions]

That would be the stage manager, the late Joe Dicso. He had been there since the beginning and he was on the money with making the show run smoothly and on time, for the most part with help from coordinating producer, the late Audrey Peart Dickman, who had also been there since 1975. She was responsible for the show's timing.

[@incog99skd11]

Joan had a joke catalog all on cards. She had thousands of jokes she made up. I hope it was saved.

[@davidpatterson555]

What an icon! What a legend! What a queen! Nobody can do it like Joan did. Absolutely brilliant! There’s a clip of her on You Tube, she’s doing stand up, she talks about her husband’s suicide and how after she and her daughter went to eat at this very fancy, very expensive restaurant in Beverly Hills and when they opened the menu said said, “Melissa if your daddy was alive today and he saw these prices he would kill himself all over again.” 😂😂😂😂😂

[@hippieal]

I miss her. She was the best.

[@lindafreeplayqueen]

I can't believe how she insulted Joan on Joan and Melissa Jan knows best. Joan Rivers is an icon and she could've told her she didn't like the shows setting with respect. I agree some people can get so Hollywood they lose touch with reality and become disrespectful. Joan didn't deserve to be treated so harshly by someone she paved the way for. Sarah should be grateful.

[@bobcummings8228]

a total scream!!! lollllll!!!

[@thomstephens]

Epic!

"And it is wonderful to be back in New York City because it is the greatest city in the whole world" It may indeed have been the greatest city in the world back then in the early 80s. Not any more. Maybe New York City and New York state will change the way they vote this Nov.

They don’t even show the audience anymore.

[@Fizzpopping]

[@johnwhisnant2836]

They went for a colonoscopy and found a brain tumor. She is so funny still.

[@jjpp2216]

In my view, this was her peak. While still clever and funny, by the 2000s she’d become the very thing she’d made fun of. She was no longer the New York girl making fun of the privileged over-primped over-tucked plastic people, she WAS one of them.

[@johnyzero2000]

YEt she still made fun of them and herself she was a funny dame till the end.

[@hiflyer53qwc]

Wrong

[@seven471]

She made fun of herself though.

[@totisantiago1]

as if She is still with us!

[@JBurnsJourno]

Comedians these days are so soft and scared to offend people. None of them do it like joan.

Too bad comedians cannot be funny anymore. If they are they get slapped. Joan was the best!!

It’s sad that women comedians always had to use self-deprecating humour to get a laugh.

[@dominiktadic7167]

Always??? Did you not see any of her other material?

[@EmeraldKenny]

To be fair, most comedians use self-deprecating humour.... because it’s funny

[@62791000]

tf was this commenter talking about? She roasts almost everybody... And that wasn't even the case for other great female comics like Roseanne. AND 'used to'? As if there is this big improvement in comedy now when everyone is too PC, jokes are taken literally and careers are destroyed over the slightest thing

[@JWH-01]

I guess you are one of the perpetually offended crowd searching for the world is sexist angle this time. You state: "women comedians always had to use self-deprecating humor to get a laugh". Not hardly. Gilda Radner was hilarious without it. It isn't gender specific. John Pinette used self deprecating humor. Food and fat jokes were his main subjects because he was so big.

[@haranoe]

Did anyone ever pay to attend all her shows and find she kept rehasing, sometimes not even caring to warm up them a bit, the same old jokes? I realize it's different now that The Net can deliver you all the older crap by the tons in one single pack, and it's good not having to rely on the newer shit but, still, if the feeling plunges after the same joke is told a second time, after the third... and it's a fucking show, I mean, can we talk?.. you may be allowed to rehash old stuff for pity humour events like random TV interviews but, woman, when you were promoting yourself in a TV talk show to get people interested in your shows, which were your "real" JOB, is that all you had to give, and all you seemed to care about was a new rag and a new hank of hair? Oh, that, and one more turn of the screw on the face.
