Remembering Joan Rivers
Sliverman and Kimmel share their thoughts on the passing of comedy legend Joan Rivers.
Joan Rivers interview
Rivers guests on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote her new book, Diary of a Mad Diva. She also talks about Anne Frank, her pregnancy struggles with her daughter Melissa, and being a grandmother.
He calls me “Nana Newface”, which I think is funny. What I do do, I take him every year to a summer school because the summer schools here in L.A. are pfft. We go to Grandma Week. Last year, we did 13 colonies, this year we did Italy and it’s amazing.
$100 bet
Fallon says he will win a $100 bet, with an unnamed friend from his past, if he ever hosts The Tonight Show. Moments later, Robert De Niro comes out and hands Fallon a $100 dollar bill, followed by Tina Fey, Joe Namath, Rudy Giuliani, Mariah Carey, Joan Rivers, Kim Kardashian, Seth Rogen, Mike Tyson, Lady Gaga, Lindsey Lohan, Tracy Morgan, and Sarah Jessica Parker. Stephen Colbert is last and dumps a bucket of pennies onto Fallon and his desk.
And to my buddy who said that I’d never be the host of The Tonight Show, and you know who you are, you owe me one hundred bucks, buddy.
The Late Show
Rivers hosts The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers, produced by Edgar Rosenberg, Rivers’s husband, and Bill Sammeth, broadcast by Fox Broadcasting. Rivers’s inclusion in the television nighttime lineup competes with Johnny Carson’s Late Show. Her first lineup of guests include Cher, Pee-Wee Herman, Elton John, David Lee Roth, and John Moschitta.
So much has been said, so much has been written. I am so happy to be here.
