RIP Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers dies at age 81 - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/04/showbiz/joan-rivers-dead/index.html?hpt=hp_t1)

I never really liked her but RIP.

I wasn't her biggest fan either but I enjoyed watching the roast of her on CC, she was very gracious about everything and looked like she was having fun. I remember they mentioned about how she was very groundbreaking in her heydey.

RIP Joan Rivers.

Back in the day, she was one of the first raunchy women stand-ups and, at one point, was the heir-apparent to Johnny Carson for the Late Show. She fell out of favor for some reason I forget and pretty much disappeared. She then sort of reinvented herself as a caricature of her prior career and been playing off of it for the last 10 years or so.

In her hey day she did have her moments of "Holy Crap! that was damn funny!" She has been pretty much a shadow of that at the end of her career. RIP

Yup , If I remember right Carson got pissed at her for getting her own show and going up against him .

Always a great guest on Howard Stern.

Never thought she was the least bit funny. Peace out Joan.

Agreed with this.

I don't think enough people realize the depth of her career in comedy. Someone I work with was like what's the big deal, she just does red carpet stuff. Um, ok.

She had her day, and I thought even the good old days were pretty bad, but the fact that she did almost nothing but the red carpet in her later years is a testament to just how tired of her people grew. Talk about someone I could care less about being alive or dead.

Joan was cool.
