@@fasteddie1241 Watch the videos of Betty on Life With Elizabeth. She has always loved comedy with what seems (sounds?) like a special " affection " for puns and double entendres.
And the host is usually a total insincere kiss-ass. Interviewers ask nothing of interest or substance, just what it was like making the project while smiling and nodding vacantly, intermittently pausing for forced laughter at the asinine celebrities canned response. Truly dismal.
@@christopherangeli1141 Only the Graham Norton Show is still fun to watch imo. The show is not stiff & Graham keeps it fun for the guests and audience.
Joan said in many interviews that she loved performers who could give it right back to her. She recalled asking Joan Collins, “Who was the best man you ever had in bed, besides your husband?” Collins shot back, “YOUR husband!” Rivers said she wanted to kiss her after that riposte.
Joan guested on Roseanne, they were great together. Despite the accent, Joan played Roseanne's Lanford cousin, totally took the p*ss out of each other. Joan would get a weight zinger in, Roseanne would stare like claws were coming out, pause, & say, "Good one!" Episode finished with Collins lampooning her Dynasty b*tch image, serving all the crew coffee. Hilarious!
When Betty White passed few days ago I remember saying I had not been so devastated by a celebrities death since Joan Rivers pass away. It warms my heart to see these two Hollywood Legends joke around and have a good time.
This is so wickedly funny. The back and forth banter between these two iconic entertainers is so quick, witty and sadly missing from much of late night these days.
I only watch late night clips of back in the day too. From before I was born (1975) onwards till the 80's maybe but I noticed the conversations were much more interesting back then
Exactly!! It's all so scripted these days that even if the host and the guest have great personalities, there is no witty banter because they just want to rush to the next questions. The 'conversation' part is gone, it's all 1 dimensional and stiff. I think it's the reason long-format podcasts are doing so well. Audiences are hubgry for fleshed out meaningful and fun conversations in intws. Late-night will die out soon.
Betty White is doing her "Sue Anne Nivens" bit from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, where the character Sue Anne was catty as Hell, but so sweet at the same time, like she was smiling the whole time she ripped you a new one. Joan Rivers and Betty White, their quick wit as you point out, were two of a kind. Once Betty is gone, that will be the last of a era. No new female comedians can even come close. All Amy Schumer can do is talk about her smelly body parts, and make disgusting jokes. These two were actually funny, and smart to boot! A great video!! Thanks to the channel creator for posting.
If interviews were still like this, I would actually watch modern ones! These 2 really have amazing chemistry. The banter & the shade they throw at each other is fantastic, but you can tell it’s all in good fun & that they actually do enjoy each-others company. Also, you can 100% tell that both Bettys & Joans laughter was completely genuine, which ones again proves how much they enjoy being around each other.
With the insults and criticisms that these two legends threw at each other, you can see how they are truly the pioneering women comedians during that time. The jokes about themselves were meaner than the joke about the other.
Nowadays, the interviews are just to promote their latest film, project, book, TV show or charity function. Kinda boring after a bit. That's why I like the James Corden show, he does different stuff
I think the story was that she was originally going to be Blanche but they didn't want it to be so similar to her suanne nivens role so she ended up as Rose.
HAL 9000 Oh, I don’t know if that’s really true. Mary Tyler Moore was very good friends with Betty, and she said in her autobiography that Betty was nothing like Sue Ann Nivens.
@@spudbono5747.... I think it was Betty herself that wanted to play Rose, because everyone expected her to play the slut. So she wanted to play the looney Rose character, and she played Rose perfectly. I just wish I could visit St Olaf.... Lol
Now this is pure gold! This is what an interview looks like, playful insults and banter. These two woman are absolutely stellar together. This is how you do it 2019!!!! Take note! Although nowadays someone would probably get insulted lol
She has interviews here talking about her career, early days of live tv, for hours @ a time, anything goes - no wonder she's so good, she's been thinking on her feet for yrs! Sue Anne kicking the oven door closed with her knee while wearing skirt & heels during her 1st MTM appearance was her improv., I believe.
Betty White is always so good at any age true comedic Talent always has a line. That magazine cover with a dog she's always been an animal rights activists and I think that's truly commendable
Those two should have had a standup comedy routine. They are so off the cuff it is amazing how they picked up on cue on how to comeback to each other's comments. A real rarity.
I've been in love with Betty since I was a kid. She reminds me so much of my grandmother, who was the coolest woman I ever knew. I was so lucky to have her in my life, and we all are lucky to have had Betty White in our lives over the years. She truly is a national treasure.
Watching these absolute iconic/classic/beautiful/quick-witted comediennes be amazing has improved my day and my life. #INeededThisAndDidntEvenKnowIt.... 👉🌹🌹👉😘🥰👉🔥🔥👉🏆🏆
The first comedienne,I believe to host and star in her own show"Life with Elizabeth" in 1954. STORYTELLER?one of the best in the business! I'd like her for a "bestie" too.Who are we?from big bang?
all I could think about was how sad Joans daughter probably still is her wonderful mother is gone. She was such a gift and a light in the world. its sad she is gone.
Oh, wow! I was born in 1983, so this was an entire lifetime ago for me! These ladies are LEGENDARY, what a great interview! I love how they were making fun of each other back and forth. 😂🤣😂
They played off of each other - Real Funny stuff. "Which One ?" (on the "dog" magazine cover); "I bet you should be funny on a date if you ever had one." - Joan Rivers (to Betty White). the G-Spot joke by Betty was great !
Betty White was a National Treasure! And I didn't even know that Joan Rivers ever hosted the Tonight Show. This was hilarious. And people say women aren't funny.
I was 19 when this aired. But if I was 58, like I am now, I would have asked Betty out for sure. I never realized how cute-iful she was until I saw this. She was my Grandma's favorite!
So many furry friends had to wake in a world without her. That is most certainly the only regret she would carry on in to heaven to Allen. Rest easy Queen Betty, we will all try to do better because of you girl!
Some no talent male comedian once stated that female comedians are not funny, these two wondrous women on the stage together is one of the funniest performances ever. I date back to Steve Allen and Jack and I know whereof I speak.
When Joan started on tv she was introduced as "girl writer" - a woman couldn't be a comedian, unless she was Phyllis Diller making jokes about her husband & her appearance.
R.I.P. Betty White. Thank you for everything you gave to the world. You shall never be forgotten. P.S. Please find a video camera in Heaven to record when you see Joan again so we can all see it when we get there.
Joan throwing it at Betty and Betty throwing it back . That’s why they got it along .
The original Leah Remini vs Chelsea Lately
I can’t get over the fact that Betty is 61 years old here! She’s so beautiful!
She aged (and is still aging) so incredibly well! Hasn't lost her spark by any means :)
No children
So she always stayed a girl
No way! 50 at the oldest. %0-something.
reallllyyyyy?
Whatever her age, she looks terrific.No plastic surgery either.She looks fantastic.
Joan may have been the Queen of the One-Liners, but Betty definitely gave as good as she got.
They were well matched for sure!
Betty White was always hilarious. True one of a kind

Howard Kerr I have her whole life with Elizabeth series and she’s hilarious!!!!
@@fasteddie1241 like a precious diamond, very valuable.
This wasn't shade. This was the whole damn forest. The eclipse even
You never get banter like This anymore. These 99% of interviews are boring. No one has personality. This was awesome.
And the host is usually a total insincere kiss-ass. Interviewers ask nothing of interest or substance, just what it was like making the project while smiling and nodding vacantly, intermittently pausing for forced laughter at the asinine celebrities canned response. Truly dismal.
@@christopherangeli1141 Only the Graham Norton Show is still fun to watch imo. The show is not stiff & Graham keeps it fun for the guests and audience.
@@christopherangeli1141 Also, you could've just written "Jimmy Fallon" & it'd automatically explain all the things you wrote lol.
Late night "talk" shows now only involve talk in order to promote a series, book or movie. It's a publicity appearance, nothing more.
@@christopherangeli1141 Tell me about your first zombie kill buddy.
You can tell Joan was just absolutely LOVING the back and forth!!!

This is the Betty and Joan feud I never knew I needed
They were lifelong bosom buddies
I see what you did there!
Like Don Rickles and Jonny
Wasn’t a feud it’s banter and chemistry!!
@@DannyM.D.N.Adelicious banter ❤😂

loved them both…..so much…when Betty passed…I was more upset then at my mothers funeral
GOSH BETTY WHITE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO PRETTY!
Her beauty is only surpassed by her personality. Even if she hadn't been physically sexy, her personality would have still made her attractive.
She was 61 in this video
She's absolutely gorgeous. Always had a deep liking for Betty, I liked Joan too 😆
@@thomasfleig1184 I agree one hundred percent. She's my kind of girl.

OMG this is so much better than anything on late night TV these days!
maineboy1979 Absolutely.
Vivian Lee Yes PC has ruined EVERYTHING.
people had REAL conversation then - now America has made everyone to scared to say anything
Proves what an amazing actress Betty is. To be so intelligent and witty and pull off Rose on the golden girls so believably is true talent.
Not many people can go toe to toe with Joan Rivers. Wouldn't expect any less from a Golden Girl however.
These two are just razor sharp

Two comedy legends showing them all how it's done. Love and miss them both.
It's like watching 2 passive aggressive sisters who are jealous of eachother bantering back and forth😂 love it.
Funmy they play twin sisters on Hot in Cleveland!!!

Wow. The ease of that perfectly timed comedic banter. Two pros. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
I think Betty's real personality was closer to that of Sue Ann Nivens. What a remarkable acting job to so convincingly play Rose Nyland.
I think the story was that she was originally going to be Blanche but they didn't want it to be so similar to her suanne nivens role so she ended up as Rose.
Was? She's not dead.

2 ladies of shade....I love them both
I absolutely love every single moment of Betty White and Joan Rivers Tonight show appearances together. Pure Gold 💖
Betty White just turned 98 recently &, you won't believe it?, still looks beautiful. Proof that her beauty isn't skin deep but deep within.
I adore when Betty speaks of Allen. She just lights up every time.
*I hope they’re laughing this hard in heaven together now* 💀❤️
Or hell 😳
RIP Betty. My heart hurts more than I could ever express that you are gone. Anytime I watch you anywhere I cry all over again. 💔💔
Age catches up with all of us eventually
Now this is pure gold! This is what an interview looks like, playful insults and banter. These two woman are absolutely stellar together. This is how you do it 2019!!!! Take note! Although nowadays someone would probably get insulted lol
This was the fastest 9 minute video ever; I didn't want it to end! RIP to both; they don't make them like these ladies anymore.
RIP Betty White. Forever our golden girl ❤️
Betty White is a genius. She was amazing on Mary Tyler Moore show.
She has interviews here talking about her career, early days of live tv, for hours @ a time, anything goes - no wonder she's so good, she's been thinking on her feet for yrs! Sue Anne kicking the oven door closed with her knee while wearing skirt & heels during her 1st MTM appearance was her improv., I believe.
I grew up knowing her as Rose Nylund, but after watching this interview, I see how she was perfect for Sue Anne Nivens.
Fued Betty and Joan (Season 2)
Lololol! You just made me pee myself..........
Betty White is always so good at any age true comedic Talent always has a line. That magazine cover with a dog she's always been an animal rights activists and I think that's truly commendable
My mom and I watched her show together every night. I remember this interview. So nice to see it again
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for posting all of these late night Joan clips. I search youtube daily for new ones. I cannot thank you enough!
2 Absolute Icons! And the world will be a much lonelier and sad place when they have both left it...
the "Golden Girls" of comedy
Ummmm....Joan is already gone.
@@spudbono5747 UMMM.... Betty is still alive... maybe you misread the comment?.
It just got real sad out here 😔
@@LawandGossip You got that right...
Those two should have had a standup comedy routine. They are so off the cuff it is amazing how they picked up on cue on how to comeback to each other's comments. A real rarity.
Roasting each other.. brilliant
These two have such great banter Joan made so many jokes about Betty and I tend to think Betty didn’t mind because they were friends lol
I’ve always thought Betty White was very attractive.
I felt the same way. She looks great and also has a outstanding personality.In my opinion that is a perfect 10.
I've been in love with Betty since I was a kid. She reminds me so much of my grandmother, who was the coolest woman I ever knew. I was so lucky to have her in my life, and we all are lucky to have had Betty White in our lives over the years. She truly is a national treasure.
When late night shows were actually FUNNY! How refreshing!
Ughhh!!! This is so gut-wrenching knowing these two are not with us anymore. They’re both so sassy but classy. Miss these two so much!!!
Two of the great ones and there was no Comedy Police, when people did not get offended for any little thing .
That's because everyone knew they were good friends and roasting each other was part of their love.
Joan is the funniest woman to ever live ❤️
They are both so smart and quick witted. Actors today take themselves so seriously they couldn’t take this banter without getting their feelings hurt.
Watching these absolute iconic/classic/beautiful/quick-witted comediennes be amazing has improved my day and my life.
#INeededThisAndDidntEvenKnowIt.... 👉🌹🌹👉😘🥰👉🔥🔥👉🏆🏆
There's no malice in this shade that's why it's wonderful 🥰
These 2 would have been such fun to sit with at a party...Love You Ladies! Our world is a sadder place right now.
Betty White seems so easy going and very personable. I would say I would want her to be my bestie. I bet she can tell a story like no other.
The first comedienne,I believe to host and star in her own show"Life with Elizabeth" in 1954.
STORYTELLER?one of the best in the business!
I'd like her for a "bestie"
too.Who are we?from big bang?
Joan Rivers looked so much younger like 30 years later... I miss her.. we still have Betty White! 🌷
😔
well thats what you call a true comedy ! god bless you miss joan
25 years later they would play TWIN SISTERS...HOT IN CLEVELAND
Fantastic interview! Their banter is timeless. RIP Joan, and bless you Betty.
RIP to both

Damn, the beginning was like an Ali Frazier fight! haha. Great entertainment!
Hilarious jabs!
Nothing but love between these two! The way they could bounce off each other and still keep the love ❤
RIP Betty White. Hope you and Doris are enjoying each other's company again.
The old comedy. It’s hysterical.
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS SPECIAL VIDEO--- TWO CLASSY FUNNY LADIES... this is a rare comical show for them both....Miss Joan and God BLess Betty...
I like to give this a watch every couple of months over lockdown, it really perks up my spirits?
She was a hero for all animals and I love her for that ♥️
Man, they let each other HAVE it! lol
I would've loved to have seen their banter when they hung out.
This video did not disappoint! These two are hillarious together!
Betty white's sharp wit was able to match joan's 😊 what a fun interview!
This is awesome. Two famous people ripping each other and enjoying it.
“You look fabulous in white. It was just!”
Funny that Doris Day and Betty White are still around at 97.
Maybe the animal loving?
Colleen Posadas 👍👍👍
And now Doris Day has gone, so it’s just her.
Well you jinxed that didn't you. Made that comment and then Doris passes away. I sure hope Betty doesn't go now

Two comedic powerhouses and legends in one place. God I wish I could have been there.
They played off of each other - Real Funny stuff. "Which One ?" (on the "dog" magazine cover); "I bet you should be funny on a date if you ever had one." - Joan Rivers (to Betty White). the G-Spot joke by Betty was great !
Kids should watch this now and understand things aren’t how they seem
Love Betty White and of course Joan.
They r both gone but never forgotten!
One of my favorite memories is Betty White and Joan Rivers on Hot in Cleveland episode they were sisters on the show
I adore them both and so miss Joan Rivers.
Betty White was a National Treasure! And I didn't even know that Joan Rivers ever hosted the Tonight Show. This was hilarious. And people say women aren't funny.
Betty won on points.
