Sheffield Doc/Fest 2010: Joan Rivers The Making of A Piece of Work

[@popland1977]

She died far too young, I know she was 81, but she wasn't frail, she wasn't weak. Joan was on a career high and had her finger on the pulse of what was trendy and in the zeitgeist. She could've been like Betty White, still killing it for years to come. She died due to medical negligence while riding the wave of another comeback. It still breaks my heart.

[@blessOTMA]

Well said.

[@veronicakhosa]

So true

[@tiio2208]

Perfectly said... It's what makes her death so much more painful.

[@AntonandSinan]

Totally agree

[@re7416]

Although her death was...(obviously)... a sad and painful thing...in a way...its modus operandi kindda summed her up. ie: Not 4 her the gradual fade-to-grey. Miss You, Joan.

[@blessOTMA]

She's more alive dead than many people still breathing. Love you Joan!

[@BhoopeshBhola01]

Dayumnnnnnnn

[@citizen1163]

@blessOTMA Well said!

[@justynjonn]

I almost love her conversations as much as the comedy. She goes deep and doesn't censor herself to save face.

[@TheMiccoliGroup]

Joan Rivers introduced me to what to expect at the gynocologist like no one else. No one else talked about it. When the nurse said to me to slide down I fought hard not to laugh. Then I was laying on the table with my legs in the styrups telling her jokes to my female gyn and we all laughed.

[@jakre10]

It's so sad that I never knew how much so liked England and how much they loved her until watching these videos on KZbin. I'm so grateful they are here.

[@lipglosskitten26]

Joan I don't know why but I have been missing you so much, lately! Of course I never stopped. You're always in my thoughts and dreams and I cry because someone with beauty from the outside in, a beautiful light is gone. I know you're still with us and in a happy place....people are still lining up to see your show but I am selfish!

[@chrisbrown3549]

You are beautiful !!😘😊

[@CastingimHerzen]

Who knows, who cares... she is so fucking sharp minded. The more I learn about here the more I respect her work. BTW The documentary is a must see. Great piece of work!

[@guinnberger9356]

My husband was never a fan of standup comics, but Joan Rivers made him laugh out loud every time he saw her in the "Celebrities Interpret Customer Comments About G**co" commercials. The customer whose comment she was "interpreting" couldn't even keep a straight face as he was supposed to (one of the strict rules for the commercials), when Joan asked: "Am I smiling? I can't feel my face..." after her plastic surgery. She knew her job. God bless her. She is missed.

[@theturtlearchives]

The only standup act I like. I still miss her. Terrible loss for everyone. 😢

[@bonnieinthespirit6373]

Still makes us laugh!! What a joy!! A great person , who we still love with much respect. ! The joy of the lord! Still can be found in all her shows! What a lovely person , we miss her

[@saltressX]

Awesome thank you both for a beautiful intelligent and informative and entertaining and interesting interviewe. Miss Joan SO MUCH! Boy do we NEED HER SENSE OF HUMOR NOW! ❤️🙏😇😘👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@soltanalosmi475]

i want to be like her at that age i mean i never saw someone over 70 and have so much love for life like he's 22 , to have that soul and life uh its just great and i never saw a video of her without making me happy

[@lipglosskitten26]

soltan alosmi You said it! She always has been wonderful. I was very little when she was doing her last years on Carson (fuck I'm getting old) I'd watch Johnny with my grandparents and they loved her and whenever they laughed I laughed.... such happy and fun grandparents! They loved movies and were so excited to gave their own VCR... They saved to get one, before that back in the day you could go to a video rental place and rent a VCR and it really was exciting! Anyway the day they bought the VCR they bought me MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN!!!! Oh My God...... the moment I seen Joan and Miss Piggy in pink selling perfume was the day I decided to forever love Joan!! I've been very blessed and I actually got to know her a bit, My Husband is a special FX MUA and worked with a great artist Raymond on the Smurf movie, they were friendly and when Ray started working with Joan, my man pulled some strings and I got to actually meet her. If she spotted us she'd stop for a quick hello! I was beyond devastated when I heard the terrible news. I know she never gave us any real thought but was so kind. I of course loved every second of those times. I really hope you'll read this, I'm having a hard time in my life, so these shows make me forget I'm sick.... but it feels good to talk, thanks.

[@perfectlyjust]

ABSOLUTE LEGEND. LOVE YOU JOAN.

[@lipglosskitten26]

perfectlyjust Yes!! 💖☄💖☄

[@SuperNuela]

Rest in peace miss Joan!! you were one of the very few women who still makes me laugh hard!

[@clairef.shepard2776]

What a spirit and a big heart for the whole of existence.

[@ShikagoMale1]

It's unbelievable that she's been gone for nine years already...

[@Happy-jv9fd]

Good God I admire this Woman so much ,she was so Strong and Motivated...there is no Fashion Police or Red Carpet after her, her sense of Humor can't be duplicated....it's never the same,I never watch the FP after she was gone...hard to believe it's been 5 years since her Death?

[@sebastiankinnunen5549]

❤I love her❤I miss her deeply❤She was the one and only❤love from Finland❤❤❤

[@Prolinium]

If everyone had the mentality and spirit to live their lives as Joan saw life in general - we'd all be smiling and dealing with everything differently. What a fabulous life we'd have. An outlook of positive strength.

[@jaceylataire2511]

She's just the very best!!! I love her!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@mercyvloved]

Fearless and strong I Loved her

[@alexandrastratanphotographer]

I loved the filmography superb, so well done! "i'm angry in a cosmic level" you gotta love her

[@SaxonC]

We’re all glad that you didn’t end your life and sad that you passed away! You were a living legend and the best thing in comedy and we will never see the likes of you again! God rest your soul dear lady ❤

[@emmylou-y4b]

I loved Joan and boy, do I miss her!

[@BhoopeshBhola01]

15:22 dayumnnnnnnn preparation thank you for sharing this A lot of work goes into it This is my life 13:14 joke preparation 17:09 her pauses and tags her style she was insane

[@jimkreider9997]

Joan was a marvel and she was extremely smart

[@joshuataylor6087]

Thanks for uploading this, I thought the interviewer was charming but so sad she's gone.

[@Jubi0]

Great interview!

[@MultiAngryGirl]

Thank you for posting. Glad I've found it (at last)

[@myfriendisaac]

22:30 Joan SPOKE: move on & enjoy life 💐

[@adriancolon8435]

The funniest woman to ever live ❤

[@agnana1978]

This woman was very smart and very humble

[@louisoleary7853]

Fabulous woman ! Elegant funny and beautiful miss you so much . 😘🇫🇷

[@carey579]

I think so too but that's what makes her a star, her longevity, that she knows where the 'real' boundary lies.

[@jenniferbedrosian8674]

If you need to laugh, listen to joan!!!

[@roseslater2428]

Oh Joanie! One In A MILLION!

[@jeannestrauss946]

I miss Joan Riverd so much.😢

[@heartpursuer]

She's so natural and honest. He's a bit of a stick.

[@juehlwillis4699]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[@markc-ru4qz]

What an absolute treasure she was.

[@Elenitsa3]

The very best !!!

[@katherinecollins1876]

Joan they are the jokes you told and always will tell because you are the same ones in your closet you are great, funny, and beautiful!!! Quick wit whats better nothing god bless your good spirit a beautiful actress!!!!!

[@laureldell7377]

She is missed. It was that wedding. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

[@steventhomas6672]

Queen of comedy

[@Forevertrue]

This is the gigantically trimmed version.

[@Happyllama220]

Did she confuse anthropology and archeology? Or do anthropologists also “dig”?

[@ShikagoMale1]

The Irreplaceable Joan Rivers.

[@divalicious4888]

To this day i never know why she says melissa was 15 when edgar died. She was 19....

[@john.jeremywilliams2241]

It's not Hollywood, Joan doesn't know the age of Melissa she's lied about her age so much during her acts that she forgets how old she is and Melissa doesn't tell her, it's actually quite amusing.

[@BhoopeshBhola01]

25:51 there's no choice Turn it around Come on Slowly but stand the Dayumnnnnn up

[@fox39forever]

Joan Rivers did well, to trudge through that boring interview, where the interviewer had no charm, humour, or good looks! The set was nerdy-black, which didn't work, and it set-off the interviewer's "personality"(?) to a tee!

[@jabjab4434]

Didnt notice. I was focused on Joan.

[@mkrobinson95]

5:15 - Journey for Margaret came out in 1942, so Joan would have been 8-9

[@paulz6491]

Joan was great, the interviewer was not. He didn’t ask follow up questions and basically wasn’t listening at times.

[@DarrinLatvala]

She was brilliant I think Johnny Carson was secretly in love with her and acted towards her when she left the tonight show like a husband whose wife cheated on him she was the best guest host he ever had

[@Dalester1979]

I kinda feel for Joan in this interview cause the interviewer doesn't have much of a personality really. LOL Must have been difficult.

[@maxlinder5262]

Phyllis Diller .was around before ....

[@MichaelWalsh-qn3ef]

Fatty get the poor women a GLASS of water. Sorry Joan.

[@louisoleary7853]

What a terrible interviewer , was he hungry! 🇫🇷

[@awicks6976]

Lol

[@Lookandsee85]

I know right? Ugh I hate this fucking idiot….

[@gigicats6]

No VOLUME.

[@JBOOUTSA]

Y. C. A. Joan Rivers is so far abo v e. Kathi Griffin.She is mediocre,never in a million years in Joan Rivers league.Joan Rivers brain should have.been preserved and studied.. I'am amazed every tim.e I see.her on another show.

[@lipglosskitten26]

Dalton Cast I agree... I can't stand Kathy!!!! I do not and will not ever understand those who think she's funny, she's not genuine and if people really paid attention, they'd know she's a hack!! What happened with her? I recall this HUGE controversy and she was sobbing saying she was done with..... do you remember? I don't ever pay attention, I hope she is done. She honestly said a lot of rude shit about Joan.... fake bitch!

[@lipglosskitten26]

Sorry for venting, I feel if you see this you're cool and will be perfectly fine with my rant... if not I'm sorry! 💖👑💖👑💖👑

[@stephensmith9704]

2 ÷

[@livesquad2810]

Interviewer was awful

[@surejack5]

horrible interviewer - you'd think he could have bothered to dress up a bit !!!

[@heresjohnny5307]

I'm not bothered by his outfit as much as bothered how dry, boring and non-reactive he was with Joan lol

[@Lookandsee85]

I couldn’t agree more with both of you. Honestly the dude looks like a slob.

[@danielzapatamartinez5079]

bad interviewer

[@itsjustme2919]

She's smart...but she does plan every little thing out...which leads one to believe that she is not as off the cuff and witty as one would think.

[@johnwahl9726]

I think that's what makes her smart. To be able to plan every subtle aspect of a comedy routine means she's very skilled and talented. The Fashion Police was successful for that reason. Joan never called anything in....I think it drove the writer's a bit crazy, but it's her name and face

[@STICKITINYOUREAR]

I hate this video format where the camera is so far away you don't get to see a close up of the guests face.
