Joan Rivers on "The Ed Sullivan Show"

[Maudekd]

wooow she was so pretty..

[Rydahshit]

She hasn't aged a bit....must be good genes...

[MarcusCMarcellus]

Her accent, her hair, her tone, the way she gesticulates, everything - Joan Rivers is a historical document.

[maleficentdiva]

she wasn't really funny back then, but she is hilarious nowadays!

[lynxvex]

MORE!!!

[1BajaBandito]

Wow, Joan was even then NOT funny!



[radiogirl85]

She was annoying even back then.

[yeahitsernesto]

they had like a 1/10th of a british accent back in the days lol

[autobot69000]

"eating candybars"

hahahah

[CARMSFAV]

Look at Joan with all her original parts! LOL Love you Joan!

[SuperRickyRocket]

OMG I didn't know Don Rickles and Phylils Diller had a Kid ! A Bastard of Course! Hmmm maybe just a lil Nip here and a Big Tuck there?

[PantherFUCKING420]

You're all going to get old too. No her voice doesn't sound all that different and I didn't get into her until the 80s. All you kids record your voice now and look back on it and your pics in 40 years and see what you think....if you're lucky enough to make it.

[cuff1957]

annoying jew cunt.

[lbonista]

All of this funny because its totally true.

[greg1lewin]

This is not funny.

[absolut20below]

I love Joan :) xxxxxx

[spike14501]

I didn't know she was ever young.

[shauninfl28]

@spike14501 Actually, she's never been old :)

[PorroFirst]

She's great! And the picture quality.. woah. Makes you think of the 60's in a whole different way. It wasn't black & white and grainy after all - they looked just like ordinary people.

[nicobolso]

Hey look! Joan Rivers used to have a face!

[CoolerKing37]

Hard to believe this is the same person you see on TV today...

[suckacat9000]

I don't think her voice sounds too different, taking in consideration that she was much much younger when this was filmed.

[ambernichole8611]

When she started talking I was like, woah. lol Such a different voice.

[jab3785]

Back when she was funny.

[BillyDoll9]

she does look like Melissa. wow. I met joan, a doll.

[kiheisun]

Lucille Ball's voice changed drastically but she smoked heavily. I don't believe Joan is a smoker. But as women age reach menopause that happens...

[Rogelia1991]

She still does her same hand movements

[Rogelia1991]

wow shes beautiful

[OnlineCpu]

@Rogelia1991 Too bad she had plastic surgery...now she is ripping on beautiful people like Sandra Bullock..what a fucking hag.

[cameliatoes]

she was so pretty

[AMEwrestling]

It sucks Joan Rivers simply couldn't embrace aging. But people make choices. Some people embrace aging and some simply would rather get stitched up to try and look younger. Why Joan why?

[ElvesseTube]

Oh Joan! You were is and are sooooooooooooooo funny! thankthanksthankthanksthankyou­!

[spiderlegs1987]

its scary how much melissa looks like her

[torgman]

Certainly a much different--and better--comic back then.

[TheMuziekmann]

it seems like a completely different person, beautiful i gotta say

[TreasuredHarte]

would give her my shitza then and I would now

[ProjectOutcast]

so THAT is what she really looks like

[ANATOLIACHTZEIN]

If you put dark brown or black long hair on Joan then she would look EXACTLY like Sarah Silverman does today! Their faces are nearly identical. Sarah should star in any biopic of Joan Rivers if they ever make one.

Who watching this doesn't prefer Joan then to the monstrosity that has become of Joan Rivers today?

[witecracker2]

Shameless tv whore.vile evil reptillian bitch. Has issue problems

[WalterLiddy]

@witecracker2 Not like you.

[gamesDAMNED]

Here's a news flash...brace yourselves for this one, kids...PEOPLE GET OLD. Thank you.

[09201951ful]

her daughter looks just like her.

[siriusfriend]

I can hear Joan Rivers in that voice from a mile away!

[halaluani]

@MrChinesecrested You have to consider the era of this. Many things could not be talked about.

[JefteNintendoNerd]

She is soo hot!! I just want to masturbate!!

[TheGunnergator]

Everyone does realize that times were different back then, right? Comedy has changed along with the ediquette, style and mannerisms from 1967 to today. So what was funny then isn't funny now. What is funny now won't be funny in 50yrs. Kind of like the saying, "Will it really matter in a 100 years?" You have to consider how life was and then maybe the jokes will make more sense.

[SolingenSword]

She looked beautiful before plastic surgery.

[brodemonz]

She was 34 here.She's 78 now. Time was not very kind to her.

[TheGunnergator]

@brodemonz

Time is not kind to anyone. We all waste away and die eventually. It's life.

[brodemonz]

@TheGunnergator Thanks capt obvious. Some more than others.

[TheGunnergator]

@brodemonz

Showing you how it's done, Private Obvious. If you're going to do it, do it right.

[2toledo]

she was cute back in the day

[chyman]

@2toledo she didn't think so

[TheDiariesOfVampires]

she looks just like her dsaughter does now! wow she should not have had plastic surgery! i do love joan though... shes meaner now!

[seb389]

I prefer her now ...She's meaner! 

[monzie05]

she looks like melissa

[miguedro]

she screwed Chris Jericho...fuck her!

[jebronski123]

What the fuck happened to her?

[3434arc1]

She was actually pretty hot...let that hair down, get the right clothes & makeup and she's at least as fine as Chelsea...maybe little hotter.

[TheFabFive005]

Wow lol.  What the hell happened to her

[Avilsta]

She kind of reminds me a lot of Chelsea Handler

[JKalama25799752]

@Avilsta I KNOW AYE! Chelsea Handler's like the second coming of Joan.

[carey579]

i agree sixties style and seventies were shitty, the 50s were so romantic and 80s brought the glamour back!

[cboncklis]

She's being saying the same damn joke since the 60s.. That's bad!

[letusdiscuss2006]

Don't take this the wrong way, al you Joan Rivers fans out there, but I have to admit that it is rather shocking for me to find a clip of her looking so young (and sexy to boot!), eh? :-D

[melow3x]

before she had cigarette voice.



[Deel2506]

She was kinda sexy!

[nintendoandsega1990]

My God she was 33!!

[SuppScott]

She looks almost EXACTLY like Chelsea Handler

[TheOrderOfThePoodle]

@SuppScott I know, right?!?

[Kevin849]

@SuppScott

She does!!!!

[PenaltyKillah]

"If he can make it to the door, he's mine!" This bit might have inspired Lauren Ash from Video on Trial. Hmm.

[kodred996]

25 surgeries later...

[pattisgirls]

yeah this is back when she could actually move the muscles in her face. I miss this Joan.

[jam6255]

I love her now with all of her life experience! She just got better! I love you Joan and always have. Janice

[stiras1]

Is that her? Has she rearranged her face?

And the humor is VERY different, but I guess the stuff she does today was not acceptable back then.

[jassal16]

even her voice was different!!!!!

[dakotahstr]

@jassal16 our voices change as we age..

[EryahJames88]

@jassal16 well duh this was 50 years ago

[jassal16]

@EryahJames88 yeah but still a person's voice shouldn't change so much!!

[comfortouch]

@jassal16 That's what YEARS of smoking will do, if you're lucky and it dosen't kill you first.

[EllysaE]

@jassal16 It's such a nice voice isn't it?

[jassal16]

@EllysaE Sure is.

[Gabooshkaa]

She looks so different , so young and so non-plastic!

[moshpotpaul]

Holy crap she's freakin' hot.

[crazycookie76]

so funny! i wonder where the rest is...

[ZaZ1230]

Dang what a difference on her look. I would never be able to recognize her if I hadn't known it was already her.

[ShiningNow]

Fuck yea bitchez, Joan mothafuckin' Riverz!

[CressidaTussaud]

She's the only plastic surgery gal i like

[nickellicker]

I always thought that Joan Rivers was an attractive and very cute lady in her early comedy routines. What in the world ever possessed her to metamorph herself into a worldwide laughing stock...?

[simplelife730]

she was so pretty when she was young!!!

[ChrisAlexanderVEGAS]

CHELSEA HANDLER LOOKALIKE!

[gayforlife2020]

She always had a quick delivery and a sharp wit. I did not know she was from tony Larchmont (Westchester County). Oh, please!

[lespaulgirl22]

wow her voice is so different now

[loveblack]

@NIGHTWHMAN she still looks good

[ElizaMogha]

i like her voice and it's still the same today, isnt it?

[CrazySexyCoolmeisha]

she looks just like mellisa her daughter except for the hair colour

[SugarellaBaby]

love her hair lol

[ROLF1218]

Larchmont!!! 10 minutes away...

[xena2shoes]

Melissa Rivers looks just like her mom did back in the day

[elijahw06]

She really did make me laugh with the last bits. Hilarious!

[swampalex]

wow she was hot

[CFrench386]

Joan Rivers before all the plastic surgery, when she WAS young. She was a good looking lady when she was young. . .now she just looks freaky.

[shotgunwedding199]

@CFrench386 she's still gorgeous!

[PumpkinPuffer]

Joan " UNFUNNY JEW" Rivers.

[shotgunwedding199]

@PumpkinPuffer Coming from a PumpkinPuffer that statement means absolutely nothing to anyone

[yankeefan42]

@PumpkinPuffer nice, had to toss that jew comment in anti semite cocksucker

[cesar1963able]

Good routine. You can tell she had some pain as a young woman, and it gave her that "edge".

[bpcorpful]

i can't believe that JOAN RIVERS of the CELEBRITY APPRENTICE is that JOAN RIVERS....A BIIIIIIIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!

[cubsbull017]

Joan Rivers was hott when she was younger!

[SEPAET]

Omg she's gorgeous.

[zo62]

jer and chelsea handlery look almost like sisters

[sarahvansickle]

she exhausts me, but shes good.

[BRUC2016]

This monologue proves that nothing has changed in America :)

Listen to her comedy routines from back in the 1980s. They're more uninhibited and more hilarious.

[1962mrwoody]

I love joan emphatically!

[sfbayareagirl]

she has always been awesome. She reminds me of Jill Zarin on this clip.

[FoxxyVixxen]

she kinda looks like chelsea handler here... or is it just me?

[baconbitsstink]

@FoxxyVixxen she really does

[betterinformed]

a girl cant call but a WOMAN can!

[wmbrown6]

The future Ed Sullivan Theatre - still known at this point as CBS Studio 50 - still used 1966-built Norelco PC-70 cameras at this point (albeit shielded with mumetal due to the theatre's being near a power station transformer for the New York subways). By 1968, however, the Sullivan Theatre replaced these iconic cameras with British-made Marconi Mark VII color cameras (the second Marconis to see service there - the first were the Mark IV B&W cameras used at the time of The Beatles' appearances).

[martyyu]

Look at that face. She needs so much plastic surgery.

[Makaveli7Soldier]

wow! Joan looked well Back in the day!

[musmatta]

fkc that hair is big

[Blaze1289]

Her face had so many more emotions back then, lol.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

@Blaze1289 Her face had so many more movable muscles back then.

[llcasanova]

@Blaze1289 : Yeah, that was long before people started stapling their ears to the back of their heads hahah

[xxTHUNDERxxHAWK]

this was taped on my birthday, but i was born in 1998, not '67

[SassySuzi]

Wow, almost 45 years later (!), Joan is still brilliant. Here though, it was so unusual to have a woman talk so frankly, to do comedy. She is a legend. Keep on keeping on Joan!

[iloveoreos15]

Loud mouthed hag.

[missabbebuck]

Oh. My. God.

[hotathlete2]

this lady is boooooring.

[airplanefreak27]

Wow, comedy from '67? Talking about American culture of the time? I'm suprised she didn't get shot haha

[5jerry1]

She was a little tamer back then, but always funny.

[RaineaTrenton]

She sounds so damn different.

[demaster619]

WOW I click on Ed Sullivan to see Ed Sullivan, but I see everyone else but Ed Sullivan. How can You have an Ed Sullivan Channel, but you don't show Ed Sullivan?

[GrunKitty16]

She's so cute!

[12REASONSTOWORRY]

always an ugly woman, with or without surgery. i feel more sorry for joan rivers than michael jackson

[xNatalie24x]

She's not exactly stunning. But she was actually pretty back then. Shame. She is actually quite funny. I really didn't want to like her because I ve seen some of her later offensive stuff but I have to admit this was pretty funny.

[nuvjst0]

she looked sooo different back then.. but she still has that same energy

[Doctormywho]

She is an angry performer.

[cslofficial]

Wow she still acts the same! Same ecstatic body language and gestures too. I guess it's true that people really don't change after high school.

[davidmjeong926]

Watching this video makes me totally fail to understand why she was so desperate to receive all the medical assistance repeatedly.

[KaTiEZZZZLoL90210]

@davidmjeong926 she actually already had some stuff done in this her nose n i think botox idk bout that but she already had the nose job done

[machngunjoe]

she was beautiful 

[zsifk]

I really love Joan Rivers. She is as funny as anything, even at 75. She set the bar on great female standups.

[hardhitter0421]

Look what ya started Joan...watch Murray Povich and see the women who can't find the father of their children after 9 appearances, 9 men with DNA tests with 6 more possibilities to go through. Women that are bright, nice hair, make-up, well dressed, happy, good sports...what is that? Where women actually like that? How about just not texting ex's at a dinner date...My how times have changed. Was this a therapy session anyway? Holy crap! ....yup,

[faliraki20]

where can i find more videos of her at this time??

[gayboymotown]

She looks like Melissa!!!!! The similarities are frightening!!!!

[coolchicnfriends]

@gayboymotown you mean Melissa is the spitting image of Joan when she was young.

[jk99611]

love this woman, absolutely love her!

[codehendrix]

people back then were so innocent... trippy......

[SW33TI316]

i love joan. if she feels good about herself thats all that ,atters. im happy 4 her and i htink shes absolutely beautiful

[GoziBeDancin]

Love her. So beautiful!

[extralargesandwiches]

Joan Rivers is so badass. Love her.

[Lightstrikers]

She was hilarious last week on lettermen. She insulted everything.

[Minakou1]

"I could never get married looking like this"

I would marry her.

[PissedFechtmeister]

@MikeyBoobs11 I didn't know she was such a hottie.

[msnickb]

[livelaughlovek21]

[dannybosa]

[PreRaff]

Irritating and…just irritating.

[kingofallwhites]

The girl still has it!!! Eat your ugly heart, annie duke!!

[randomimpulser]

[DeadJesus100]
