[@ernestgutierrez6428]

You can tell she felt extremely comfortable and at ease around her gays ❤️🙏🏻

[@aarondigby9859]

I knew she felt comfortable around her hair dresser Phyllis.

[@ciaransammon]

Nobody can replace her.

[@michaelneel4828]

I was right in the middle of watching this & laughing . Then out of nowhere it hit me that's she's gone :( Miss you so much Joan ! God I pray she is in heaven with all the greats !!! :)

[@hairyscotman]

[@susannjuguna3643]

[@VaalMaakri]

@@susannjuguna3643 me too. Miss you terribly 💔

[@fadeddenims501]

Even now it feels like she is still alive. She was and still is that dynamic.

[@davidpierce3]

This is one of the best interviews of Joan Rivers I've ever seen. I understand that she's a very generous person ... with her family and her staff members, which are like family. Best wishes to a wonderful performer.

[@helloitstrav]

Looking back at these comments and there’s so much love. A true testament to theater people and the community we share, which Joan truly was so much a part of. We understood her, and will cherish her always.

[@jjmm9066]

Two dear hearts with love and respect for each other. This was such a pleasure.

[@lilyshapkarov8542]

I love Paul and Joan! This is perfection!

[@gutspillage]

I'm so glad for the internet that allows to still glimpse at Joan. Forever missed.

[@ITSANDREWJONES]

Ugh , what an interview . Joan , I miss you .

[@PauloRezendeBordados]

I love and miss her so much!

[@matty86]

This is just a wonderful interview. Funny, witty, heartfelt and sincere. Just a fun great interaction to watch. My dear sweet wonderful Joan, you are so so missed. You are no semi legend - you, my dear, are legend.

[@TomIdelson]

I miss her so much! xx

[@thefailedactress]

R.I.P. sweet Joan

[@hpfan]

I'm so glad they talked about theatre etiquette concerning wardrobe. I just got home from my NYC trip yesterday, and I got to see three amazing shows. I was absolutely horrified to see people at the Majestic for The Phantom of the Opera in jeans and t-shirts with uncombed hair. It was just appalling, and I really think they should think about establishing some kind of dress code. This is a really interesting interview.

[@TheOne5137]

Shannon, I just turned 26 in May and for my birthday, I spent 2 weeks in NYC to see as many Broadway shows as I could! Since this was my first time seeing a Broadway show (and with being involved in theatre almost my whole life) I just knew that the dress code was nothing less than formal wear… I was wrong. So many people in casual street wear! I also believe that there should be a standard!

[@mostlysondheim1930]

Remember when people used to dress up for planes?? Now they show up in sweats 😒😒

[@carey579]

5:55 'I think Anne Hathaway was at home saying I'm wonderful. She must have the driest lips from kissing her own ass' LOL

[@SYLVESTER42012]

Loved this interview. She's a real mensch. I would love to sit down and have coffee and cake with her.

[@thezmanchar]

The Barbara Streisand comment that she kissed her and she moved her nose killed me.

[@conniecharley7086]

thanks utube to give us joan rivers once again after she has left us

[@skyedior5132]

Joan was the best! I got to see her in Portland, Maine on tour and nobody could touch her. I laughed for 90 minutes straight.

[@tonynegron1927]

👑 Gone,but never forgotten. ☆ Thanx for the laughs,Joan! 😄

[@TheGrimhilde]

adorable people, rip darling!

[@eugenekozma2697]

Thank you for sharing.joan was smart and a riot.

[@sebastiankinnunen5549]

❤She was fantastic lady❤Smart, Intelligent, beautiful classy lady❤the one and only❤ I miss her deeply❤love from Finland

[@lynnanson4969]

Miss her soooooo much!!!!!

[@stingraytor]

I miss her every day.

[@billyjoekiessling]

oooooof I love her

[@CoffeeMagical]

Fabulous as ever

[@ambsat]

Love this fun interview; thanks for posting! Joan

[@viktorblazevic4074]

Thank you for this video!

[@frankgonzalezofficial3010]

I can so relate to her when she says that stepping on a stage makes her feel like "yes this is where I belong". That is how I feel when I step on a TV set. God knows I will make it one day.

[@georgieorgy5589]

: )

[@JBOOUTSA]

There will never be another one like her! A dynamo in every respect.

[@thezmanchar]

I miss her so much ... life is not the same without her. She died unnecessarily .. her daughter won the case, and she donated the entire amount she won. That is class.

[@lindakahler4799]

As a speech pathologist I grieve for her..my friend used to work with Mel Torme. He could have fixed her without surgery

[@bduhe219]

that was a fun interview

[@alexandrastratanphotographer]

so inspirational. miss and loved her so much

[@senatorcalderon1472]

Paul, you brought back so many memories. I will never forget Joan River's album 'What Becomes of a Semi-Legend Most' when i was a kid. I also listened to that over and over.

[@jenethehottie]

This is so wonderful. I love Joan Rivers. Thank you very much for uploading this. :)

[@jakre10]

Boy, how I wish this lady was still around.

[@MajorAlenko]

I can't believe she's almost 80! A true legend.

[@DianeBanks1]

gr8 interview!! love joan + her documentary is really good too :)

[@summermen]

Paul was way ahead of the pack with the vertical hair.

[@MrQbenDanny]

Joan we miss you.

[@brendaannedufaur6244]

joan is so right in essence about the pretentiousness and insecurity of women calling themselves actors and not actresses

[@_very]

If I had the power to bring back just one person...

[@sxnico]

JOAN IS THE GREATEST!

[@nexypointy]

This is a living legend I want to meet

[@AdamJones09]

What’s casual? Fur!! 😂😂😂

[@TheDjposh]

she's the best ! love her ! { i'm talking about joan ..}

[@xJordanxox]

I love seeing her in this setting.

[@xaroraxaro]

Omggg Joan Rivers as Madea!

[@lauren6885]

if i could visit one person in heaven (or hell) it would be you joan. love you loads

[@kasession]

Fashion Police was my guilty pleasure! I miss her terribly!!!

[@SaraH-ps8ob]

RIP We love you

[@adriancolon8435]

The QUEEN of standup!

[@saturndirect8085]

Great work Paul.

[@dyerful]

Great interview

[@gramps2matt]

I also found this to be an AMAZING interview! The point about reviews reminds me of an interview Adam Pascal did a couple years ago in which he said essentially no one really reads them anymore because of social media acting as the voice of the real audience passing on to friends, followers true but honest reactions. A show now lives or dies not because of lofty newspaper critics but because of the public.

[@nexypointy]

i love you joan!

[@robbieburnside8534]

I miss her so much. 🥲

[@suzeauster2223]

RIP 🌈 Precious Joan❣️

[@jamesvv]

Great stories. No matter if You lover her or hate her. She has great stories. You get todays "stars" on talk show..they have nothing tosay. That is why the guests come on and leave after they promote ther latest ventures. Back in the day guests would stay out with the other guests and interact.

[@aarondigby9859]

Miss those days when the previous guests stayed out on the couch to coyly interact with the new guests.

[@Ihateeminem1985]

A legend!

[@marquisdejustin]

"walking around . . . . like Adele!" omg fab!

[@PlazaQueen]

This was great.

[@ania5038]

Iconic central and I'm so happy she loved Larry David he is truly the master of comedy to me

[@DorothyBishop]

i love that she mentioned Marnie Nixon and Patti Lupone.

[@nomudnolotus8430]

#JoanRiversForever 💘

[@CocogoatMain0501]

i'm 21 and i wish i could've been friends with her.

[@xmagpiex12]

This is in reference to the theatre. Americans did used to dress up for the theatre. Also going on an airplane was something that people used to dress up for but now everyone's in sweat pants and flip flops. It's interesting how the culture changes.

[@dustyhart]

Brilliant interview! Joan we need to do a show together!! Sx

[@atemporal9081]

10:20 LMAO. I always find it hard to believe how different Joan and Melissa are from each other in terms of their sense of humor.

[@nexypointy]

Sarah Jessica Parker and Joan rivers were on the same show a year ago. Graham norton and they really click

[@baronmulberry7847]

For reasons best known to herself, each cosmetic surgery left her resembling Miss Piggy a bit more closely. Toward the end, instead of laughing, she'd oink with a slight NY accent. This really delighted 'em at The Iowa State Fair. Fly high last mameleh before freeway

[@Tason123]

She's so right about the fine line between hooker and fabulous, I shop in all the hooker clothing stores in the city I live in

[@suziecreamcheese211]

I love her jacket. Anyone know who designed it.

[@stephaniek1076]

Valentino…close!

[@benitocamelo3219]

19:44 LMFAO

[@sorcha209]

I fully believe casual Joan is fur. I love her. My hero

[@slowpainful]

I loved this interview. The host and JR have a great rapport, and maybe it's because there's no live audience, but I found Joan to be more natural and less 'performing' than she normally was on a talk show and audience. I really felt that I was getting a feel for what she was like as a person. As much as I enjoyed her work, she could be a little exhausting when playing to the rafters during an interview. And WHAT was that jacket she was wearing?

[@aarondigby9859]

Her taste for fashion was kind of eccentric but she made it work for her, that was one of her comedy niches, like Rodney Dangerfield with the red tie, Phyllis Diller the outrageous outfits, Mom's Mabley the funny looking hat, it's a gag, helps with routine.

[@be4chb4by]

Doctor, Writer, Actor

[@CB-zv9cl]

God damnit i miss this woman. 😔😔😔😔😔

[@xandrkenski9943]

what is Joan Rivers ? in one sentence ? = " Whats casual Joan ? - .... FUR ". That's all ! I adore this old bitch ! ^^

[@nexypointy]

nowadays most people call Nicki Minaj and justin bieberthe greatest ever. :( sad fucking reality

[@brianeduardo1234]

what about your interviewer Joan?.....not skinny! And the hair? Fashion Police... where are you. Joan Rivers is so bright... incredible that she wrote the script to Topo Gigio.. I like the host too.. nice man.

[@xxcharmed1xx]

Anne Hathaway is such a dull boring actress!!

[@alexanderh9878]

Oh Joan, I miss her so much. Nobody like her.

[@daiveedino]

If Adele is happy with her body as she says she is then there's no problem, no feelings were hurt.

[@justicia5783]

"Adele", like any big, fat slob would, hated her body. Most hogs will only admit this truth after they've managed to drop the excess tonnage.

[@jwlc3]

whats casual for Joan? FUR... hilarious lol!

[@hellojerome]

No other show in the world has had better hair present on stage

[@nexypointy]

lol you should see how rude she was to one of the reporter when she was asked about how she lost the weight...google it.

[@ISYETUNKNOWN]

"...some of them know where they came from..."

[@007thelastlover]

joan - you can always adopet me...

[@matthodgkins9862]

i love everything about this interview except for the interviewers laugh

[@DenisUSA]

This American way of pointing your shoe in the opposite person’s face is ridiculous! Especially the Legend’s face

[@glennfromthebronx]

.....soooo....WHO IS GOING TO BRING SALLY MARRS BACK?!?

[@booginas]

Paul is so hot.

[@booginas]

To ea. his own.

[@ITSANDREWJONES]

So damn hot !!

[@ITSANDREWJONES]

+ctn04132 HE's GORGEOUS !!!!

[@cheekyseason7415]

she's actually trying not to be mean to people and says she doesn't want to hurt their feelings I don't know why everyone finds her so mean

[@wiguy3]

Pity.....he (whoever he is) is a doll.

[@nexypointy]

really? i've never been in a theater.

[@makdle66]

The bleeping..... they can show people getting killed on tv and movies but they bleep bad words, nobody else sees something off there?
