  • Joan Rivers looks great in this monolog as guest hostess on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson", about 1984. As a comedian, she is in top form.

    She was a machine gun of jokes. Sometimes her brain moved too fast, even for her. Talent like this is incredibly rare. Thank you for the laughs Joan, and we miss you terribly.

    She was a sensation on "The Tonight Show" at that time. There were times she got higher ratings hosting than Johnny. during the week. People would tell each other, "Joan Rivers is on tonight!" And Joan was an ultimate survivor- she would pick herself up even after the most horrid things happened to her.

    Joan was like a fine wine, she got better with time. Her comedy really just got better and better. I was lucky enough to see her do stand up shortly before her death and I must say she was incredible. The routine she had here in this clip didn't even compare to how she had developed by the time she was in her late 70's and 80's. I really miss her. A lot of people gave her a hard time for her plastic surgeries but I have to say she really looked fabulous even at the age of 81.

    I'm sitting here watching a rerun monologue from nearly forty years ago, in stitches from laughing out loud. She's a force of nature. Outrageous humour, even today. Prepared to yell hysterical one liners in the middle of an intersection despite the traffic of prudishness from all directions. A moral genius, no less than Lenny Bruce and actually funnier.
