I'm not the biggest fan of Rivers but it's really touching that someone like her, who had every reason to express bitterness at everyone who doubted her or cast her aside (as in the case of the Tonight Show), instead used her twilight years to lift up a relatively young comedian with no fanfare at all. That's a class act.
She's always supportive of talent and actually a sweet, caring person. It's often the people who seem brash, who are the kindest. The people who act cheery and upbeat are usually the sociopaths who stab you in the back. I always trust the grumpy quiet person the most.
Joan knew all the up and coming talent and gave them her advice. She was always at the theater seeing the latest productions. Also, on Thanksgiving, Joan hosted dinner for 60 in her home. Sixty people who had nowhere to go for the holiday. Mrs. Rosenberg welcomed people into her home for the holiday so that they wouldn't be alone.
This episode gave me a newfound appreciation for Rivers. My childhood was littered with comedians making fun of her and not taking her seriously. And now I realized it was because she was basically in the same position Conan was in the early days. Pettiness from the OGs.
I mean she was kinda racist though so the scorn might be understandable. Movies written and directed by Joan Rivers like "Rabbit Test" are riddled with blackface and Asian stereotypes. You could say it was a product of the times but I don't know.
@XxThatGuyOverTherex1 I know it may read as an excuse, but it really was the time. She was not in a bubble doing that. That type of 'humor' was the norm. Scorn is not justifiable for that when it was part or the culture of the time.
People often forget how quick Joan was. There was a reason she was in line to take over the most prestigious late night show - as a woman - which was unheard of then. Johnny Carson was very good at what he did, but if you got on his bad side, you were going to suffer. The fact that Joan used whatever opportunity she had to promote others is very telling.
RIP Joan Rivers. You deserved way better than you got...
I love Conan riffing on how he crushes competition as his one of his best friends and “assistant” is now next to him and famous because he’s the exact opposite type of person. It made me smile with such glee in the way Sona went along with it not even being sarcastic back but just like, “yeah congrats”.
Man, that sure is somethin' . Joan was right. She saw what we see and knew the public needed to see it too. What a great story.
Billy on the Street is some of the funniest comedy I've ever seen. Having Joan Rivers in your corner has to be one of the biggest compliments a comedian could get.
Joan Rivers was so funny she would take my breath away. There’s never been anyone who worked it harder for a joke.
What the heck, they made how many versions of real housewives but Bravo passed on Joan Rivers Straight Talk?! I would’ve 100% watched that.
Joan understood an uphill battle and wanted to make the path a little easier for those coming up behind her
3:23 "and later come back and say 'I was right'... that was my dad, btw." Quintessential Conan.
No surprise Rivers promoted Billy. Whatever faults she may have had (and who among us doesn't?), she was always LGBTQ+ supportive and she obviously recognized Billy's comic brilliance. Just look how he played right along with Conan's asides, adding to the premise without missing a beat. That's some rare wit right there. I enjoy all his work immensely.
Oh my gawd What a great story Bless Joan and Billy Such awesome people
Love these longer videos
Conan and billy have such great chemistry together I love it.
That's an amazing story I had no idea. Beautiful thing for Joan to have done for her friend. Unfortunately I never really liked Joan near the end of her life before she died because she was always on and I didn't realize she was on and that they were jokes. I thought she was very insincere person not realizing it was comedy, constantly insulting people's fashion sense at awards shows, etc. But I'm glad now to be corrected and see that she was a good human being. I remember seeing her in the '80s and '90s on TV a bit and always seeing parodies of her but never really getting to see her early stuff.
Billy is “river jumped the banks” type humor and I ❤️ him
Joan Rivers. I miss her so much.
Joan is an icon. So glad Billy brought this up, especially given that Conan seemed to continue the ridiculous Carson "banning" like Leno did. I love Conan but that wasn't right.
I believe Joan also wasn't a fan of Conan
@@genghiscan2918 Yes, she had some choice words about how he handled the Tonight Show debacle and how he continued the Carson/Leno "tradition." But prior to all that, she was on his Late Night at least once.
@@Hunter-sm8nd How could she have had choice words about the Tonight show debacle, she DIED in 2004 and that only happened around 2009............ are you just making this up?
@@emu_warrior She passed away in 2014....
@@psykomyko730 Oh okay, I was wrong. I thought it said 2004 on her wiki.
Joan Rivers was great in finding the paradox of guilt in Jews and Catholics, she knew it. And she was hilarious.
Rip Joan ♥️
I LOVE JOAN RIVERS 😘😘
I don't think i have ever heard a comedy reference to O.Henry (1800's writer) on a podcast. I don't think i ever will again.
I enjoyed that too lol
He didn't mean the candy bar? 🤣
That sounds like the greatest show!
What a fail not to pick up.
Can you release it in one long video instead of chopped up? Thanks
8:29 I'm gonna see Bros just for this. The sudden verbal violence of his response is what makes it so funny.
This is awesome. Love Joan, love Billy.
You know, if ever find out Conan O Brian tried to have me killed, I would take it as a huge compliment 😊
You can stop worrying when you get paid $40 million when you are fired. Love Joan Rivers, always funny, always making the best of every project she was in.
3:43 "Straight Talk" Now there's a waste of the perfect name.
All careers are "will I make it in this?". I honestly wish I went into writing. It's better than healthcare.
Idk about you guys but I think johnny Carson was a little light in the loafers if you know what I mean
He was jealous and insecure, like almost all humans.
but did conan ever have Joan rivers on during the black list
Well this clip was just delightful
Joan knew. Love them both. Go see Bros!
Idk if I have ever laughed harder at anything that Billy on the street. Comedy Central really screwed themselves on that one
I have always been a Carson fan but I never could understand why he was upset at Joan for taking the job at Fox. It seemed reasonable to me. There was no betrayal. But we don't know what we don't know.
Johnny Carson. What a guy.
I wish he was mentored and was actually funny....
Billy gave us a handful of talk show host names that invited Joan Rivers during her renaissance years. One name is clearly missing here! Couldn't Conan address this? It would have been a good opportunity. He lately said it himself in the podcast: it takes a man of culture to admit you're wrong! Obviously no one likes to do it but it's the more noble thing to do. And when you do so, most of the time people respond in gratefulness. Well, do yourself this favor Coco and spill those Joan Rivers beans, we'll be grateful.
edit: lol I humbled myself there, she actually went on late night in the 90s. Sorry pals.
Conan had her on the show 4 times from 1995-2005. I don't think you could say she was ever blacklisted from his show.
On Joan Rivers wikipedia it says Conan was one of the hosts who black listed her for Carson..... why wasn't this addressed in thie podcast? Was Conan one of the ***holes who blacklisted her and didn't let her on his show? Because that is what it says.
Yes, he was! I wish this had been brought up.
Never knew Joan Rivers wasn't allowed on late night talk shows..
Check out the story of Carson blacklisting her and then Leno and Conan continuing that. It's fascinating, but she always survived.
Conan wouldn´t have Joan on his show because of the Carson issue. Joan said it during an interview. Disappointing.
But she was on Conan's show.
@@BC-sg8mb But never his Tonight Show.
@@Hunter-sm8nd His Tonight Show lasted about 7 months
@@sarahsudheer296 Fallon had her on his first week.
What’s funny is it’s not like it’s a bunch of conservatives running these networks.
You’d be surprised.
Joan❤
Joan Rivers, true selflessness
Welp. Carson seems nice.
I think Billy means Leno and not Letterman?
Letterman also didn't have her on for a long while, but yes he came around whereas Leno never did.
I'm honored, honestly. Lmao
I gotta say, I DO like the idea of Conan following Billy for 10 years trying elaborate ways to cause accidents for him but Billy always Inspector Gadgeting his way out of harm's way. =)
Omg it's so dissapointing learning this about Conan. Perpetuating that blacklist...
Jesus Christ! Just release the video episode in full at one time. This drib/drab bullshit really pisses me off. Like you guys don’t already have enough money you need more clicks. I KNOW I’m not the only one annoyed about this.
Yeah i'm sick of these short videos, just release the whole thing ffs
These are much more clickable than the full thing, though I would like it if they'd upload both.
The main point about Joan Rivers and Johnny Carson which is an important point and well documented and completely ignored here...It's not that she left that upset Johnny, it's that Johnny was her mentor and was hugely supportive of Joan and was the first woman given a late night hosting opportunity by him, and instead of running it by him and letting him know of this great opportunity to basically compete against him, she just left without saying a word.
No one just does that to their mentor. There was something going on in that peer relationship that wasn't public.
This isn't really accurate. Carson was a total recluse and had little relationship with Joan outside of the show. Joan was told that she wasn't even on the short-list to take over after his retirement, so of course she looked elsewhere especially given what Fox was offering. Nonetheless, he was the first call she made and he hung up on her and never spoke to her again. Then Leno, in all his genius, continued the blacklist for some dumb reason. (As did Conan.)
Hi Conan, check out the Swiss Joe Rogan. I`s about a Swiss guy living in the alps in a hut wanting to become like his hero Joe Rogan!!!
First
Here ya go 🍪 🙂
@@micahsalberg4792 thank you! :D
Cringe af.
