I accidentally came across this. I’ve been verrry depressed & this talented, late comedian made me L A U G H. From the bottom of my heart... thank you for this video😃🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❣️❣️
All my life I heard about Joan Rivers. I can’t believe I’m just now discovering what a treasure she is. This came out over 40 years ago? Blown away by how well put together her stage personality is and how much of her banter is still relevant today.
I've been binge watching her interviews, stand ups and reality shows for the past week and I haven't laughed so much. I still can't believe it's been 4 years since she passed away!!! I'm watching while laughing and smiling at the same time. Rip. QUEEN JOAN!
The late great legendary icon, Queen 👑 Joan a comedic genius. I cannot accept her being gone, I miss my beautiful Joan 😭😭😭. She is sorely missed and beloved by many. Thx for the memories...
Myself as well. Back then, I didn't care for most female comedians. Joan was a definite exception. She cracked me up. I remember the first time I saw her, she said something like, "I'm so flat. When Melissa was born, she started sucking on my shoulder."
Binge watching many video highlights of this comedy legend. Its 2019 and there are no comedians, Male or female, that comes close to being in her league. I haven't laughed, I mean really laughed, this much in quite awhile. Lol. Seriously, a true legend.
John Mulaney is that good. Not his creepy lunchbox stuff, but his stand up. Fluffy is that good. Kathleen madigan is probably better... v little swearing but she's hilarious.
I don't think in all my years of watching Carson live & on TH-cam that I've ever heard him laugh this much and this genuinely. Joan was quicker than a whistle.
She was incredible, most of her material you couldn’t even see today on TV without somebody protesting or wanting to sue you immediately. The funniest thing is everyone could laugh at them selves to a degree. Nobody can do that today, gosh I miss John Rivers.
@@BluesLicks101 Yep. Today, they think they have to go extreme and over the top. It takes much more skill to walk that fine line and be tastefully tasteless. They could convey their ideas without throwing them right in your face. Don Rickles was also VERY good.
none she cursed at 4:43 but also they were more limited to vulgar language back then and she wanted to get invited back. Cursing was a big part of her routine as tv got more liberal. Either way, she was very gracious and kind.
I absolutely Love Love Love Joan Rivers. She was a remarkable woman. Fantastic woman. It just makes me feel so sad that Carson was gosting her when she got her own show at Fox, treating her soo bad. He really showed he's true colors, and he turned out to be an Axxxxle.
I got to meet her very briefly not long before she died. She was so sweet and kind to me for the few seconds we had together. She's always been one of my favorites.
Archie... this is a classic. She's so quick! It's sad what happened between her and Johnny. One right after the other and worked till the day she died. Thank you.
It was also a show that aired in the same time slot as Johnny. Still sad. But the same time slot IMO was key to the issue Johnny had with it. He truly adored Joan and was hurt.
Damn. I grew up in the 90s knowing Joan just from her talk show. Didn't see it much. But I never knew she was this quick fire brilliant. Probably my favorite aspect of stand up comedy is imagery. The way she transmits imagery with her language and body language is on par with Winters and Rickles, even Robin. "She pierced her ears and gravy came out" LMAO Amazing comic and woman.
She was and is gorgeous... With an animated mind and a beautiful smile.... Johnny Carson probably had to wear those senior pants... he was laughing so har! LOOK
GOD, Joan Rivers was just absolutely brilliant and a true legend. She never, ever slowed down and was just as brilliant, cutting-edge and hilarious until her untimely death. Thank you for posting this video.
The Best comedian that ever lived. I loved her comedy dearly, her and David Brennan where are the best. Funniest pair I have seen in a long time!!! R. I. P. Joan and David, until we meet again!!!🤣🤣🤣👸🤴 King & Queen of Comedy!! What a pleasure to have known them both, and their comedy was great!!!
The show was not on at another time. He then of course would have supported her. She was airing opposite him on another channel in the exact same time spot. That is very different. I do not blame him. Sorry, it was a slap in the face to Johnny. I sided with him. Edgar, her husband was advising her then. He ended up committing suicide and I think that she left him a few months before.
Alex for years Joan said that she called him to let him know that FoX was going to give her her own show. He hung up on her and never spoke to her again. If she did anything underhanded she would never have credited Johnny Carson for giving her her career. As much as I love Johnny Carson, he was a nasty bastard off camera in his personal life.
@@kadinmay I was a 1st grader! Didn't change much for us! Rules are still the same! Had to worry about falling on junkie needles on the playground if you lived in a big city! Other than that, nothing much changed!🤷🏿♂️👌🏿😇
I just watched a rivers show she did in england in 86 or so and she told the exact same joke's she just mixed the gags up a little, but I guess is not the joke it's the way you tell em. Rest in peace joan you truely rocked.
Either her memory or her ability to ad lib was just off the charts. Because she blew through that whole conversation like it was a standup routine. She was so far ahead of her time.

L A U G H. From the bottom of my heart... thank you for this video😃🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❣️❣️
I hope you are feeling better.
I read your comment and she had the same effect on me ! Hope you are feeling better now. 🤗s
She would be very happy to hear that , she has always said comedy is very therapeutic she always used comedy to deal with tragedy
If you were depressed then, I hope you're ok now. The stuff has really hit the fan these days.
Thank-you all for your warm kind comments. Means a lot. 🙏🏼❣

whenever i’m having an off day and need a good laugh, i always watch joan ❤️
This is definately the best way to forget about the Coronavirus ..at least for a little bit
Did she ever apologize to Elizabeth?
....can we talk ? 😄
Her and Rickles..
From when late night TV was funny, and people didn't get offended by everything.
Agree.

I love when Joan goes, "Oh grow up" after she make the punchline. She was such a natural 😂🤣

"Oh grow up," that was her signature and "can we talk."

I’m doing the same now - the year of 2024 !
Forty years later, the laughs keep coming! Thank you Joan.
I haven’t laughed that hard in years! Thank you Joan Rivers! We miss you so much!
The late great legendary icon, Queen 👑 Joan a comedic genius. I cannot accept her being gone, I miss my beautiful Joan 😭😭😭. She is sorely missed and beloved by many. Thx for the memories...
She was so hilarious! I saw her perform around 1981, and she cracked me up. You can’t find talent like her anymore! RIP
She was an absolute gem. Incredibly talented, had unbelievable timing, everyone equal and a target.
"so we just hope at the wedding night he'll buy the horse back riding story"
Damn, ruthless.
Miss this woman so much! What a brilliant Comedian!!
I just love Joan Rivers. I wish people were still like her.
The funniest of all her Carson appearances. I've waited three years for this to be re-uploaded! Thanks so much!
She's funny in all of them, but man this one she was NON STOP
She was so funny; comedic timing was unbelievable.

Even more than Rickles
Bette Midler was one of them as well
Until she got her own show.
Rest in peace your beautiful soul Joan.

@@kadinmay I agree this wasn't great . Check out some of her shows from the BBC.
Twilight living are you serious? The gays love Joan and her biting humour! It’s the genderless lesbians that don’t like it
I don't think in all my years of watching Carson live & on TH-cam that I've ever heard him laugh this much and this genuinely. Joan was quicker than a whistle.
He laughed a lot when Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters, Buddy Hackett and Rodney Dangerfield were guests on his show.
"He wants a hot meal, Let him sleep with Julia Child" LOLLL
😂😂😅😅😂😂😂
i love watching these on cozy nights, very relaxing and funny. warms my heart :)
This takes me away to a different place, I luv this era❤️❤️❤️
Joan was truly talented. Her timing is marvelous.
This is funnier than any standup up today. Genius.
At any age still the best! The greatest!! Forever and always missed❤️
Lmao man Joan was one of a kind. She was EPIC in Johnny Carson interviews
She should have gotten The Tonight Show permanently. Better than Jay Leno.

olivia15073 I’m having trouble understand this joke
mxsb tho walking on all fours
@@mxsb10 She was making a joke about her being a chimpanzee.
Omg I just got it lol her knuckles dragged on the ground lol
It's a joke relating to
Quasimodo. Out of all of the jokes she told that one was one that the audience didn't quite understand too.
This shit was pretty edgy for the time. Love Joan.
Some of it would be fairly edgy for today. She was so far ahead of her time.
And she never cursed!
Actually people were MORE edgy in the 70's and 80's, but they did it a lot better. Its boring now.

Joan, I miss you so much! Grateful for all the work you left behind. You weren't done. You would have HATED being in a nursing home, that much I know.
There will never be stars like all these people I love them all so much
That's because it's not about talent anymore, it's about who's willing to be raped and abused by Hollywood elite.
I had forgotten about Cycle 3 dog food. That joke really took me back to my childhood.
funniest woman who ever lived
One of the funniest.
bob nob
Sure, if you live in a cave!
funnier than the man here who tried to destroy her

Thought Joan was George Washington. lol!
Brooke Hanley she'd love/laugh at that 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
i think it's the mind playing. hair plus puffy shirt.
the rich white lady mullet
Okay, that was pretty cute.
And something Joan herself might say.
I miss her. And Johnny. And Ed. [sigh]
The machine gun delivery of the Elizabeth Taylor fat jokes is genius!
Unbelievably fast, can we talk! She makes me laugh and l’m bi-polar
Earth is bipolar!
Listen to everyday and you won't be bipolar.
there has never been a funnier gag comic than Joan..
and not even David Letterman could play straight man better than Johnny.
Only two comedians I can think of is Joan and Don Rickles that have such quick witted one liners.
Both legends.
Rodney dangerfield
Robin Williams
Lucille ball
Johnathan Winters
I love how she paid her respects to Lady Diana!!! No one would talk bad about true beauty and grace, she was all that. Love Joan and Diana as well.
"Orson Wells' designed jeans" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sad what happened between Joan and Johnny.
how do you know what happened?
Joan told the story often enough.....she got her own show and Johnny never spoke to her again.......
tj 1911 n

It was also a show that aired in the same time slot as Johnny. Still sad. But the same time slot IMO was key to the issue Johnny had with it. He truly adored Joan and was hurt.
Broo What happened?

Fond of her ... like a pet you always kept beneath you. It’s sad and superficial.

Its easy to forget just how hilarious Joan Rivers was.
Wow! Need laughter now! Joan and Johnny make like I am part of what is going on. I need to feel a part of with this virus going on.
Nothing grows in the shade. Brilliant. Her mind was so fast and sharp.
Imagine the jokes on Prince Andrew if she was around.
"IS SHE HERE?" Dead I'm telling you DEAD! LMAO
What a treasure... I genuine funny woman... That's in short supply currently on the world of female comedy... her wit is so quick

Johnny Carson rarely laughed authentically, a few come to mind, Robin Williams and Joan Rivers.
Timeless humor
Belly laughing!!! What a great Gal! Miss you Joan 😘
“Cottage cheese... it looks like an albino threw up”. I’ll never forget this line!
I laughed hard but cry at the same time remembering the struggle that she have coz of being banned love u joan R.I.P
even with her genious wit,she was purely gifted and still sensitive.
Joan was the greatest!
Such A Bad Ass Few Men attempted this kind of comedy. She is Uncancilable. Always will LOVE her.

I have to thank my parents, I'm 28 and growing up they played Carson and Carol Burnett VHS tapes. They are truly the greatest comedians!
Always makes me laugh. For ever Joan
