Joan Rivers tells Oprah to Lose weight (1985 interview)

[preciousjey]

lol ya nell is 6/ 12

[Uberlasting]

White hose and spangled blue homemade dress...Oprah is so low class, and she's only gotten worse over the years. Why does anyone like her? Fatuous, idiotic and creepy...

[ACRScout57]

They are both moronic eclipsed only by the fools that pay them to show up, neither is funny or entertaining.

[northvalleynews]

fat girl just got punkd by joan!

[Jordan56853]

damn Oprah looks terrible, I just threw up. but now shes kinda fine

[AngeliaClaire]

what is with the wind swept sand dune on joan's head. GOD!



[AngeliaClaire]

whoopie as a fool horses ass she is!

[Cbnboi]

Was Joan EVER invited to Oprah?

[julphish]

Joan is just being rude here and Oprah is being polite, but you can clearly see its bothering her and Joan needs to mind her own, weight is a personal thing. There are different ways to express concern besides on your talk show!

[and2rew]

Oh my gosh... Oprah be wearing a Judy Garland tribute dress! I love the 1980's.

[jordanjcy]

were part 2 when she came back i want to see it

[jumpforjoy6]

25 years later she is still UP and DOWN

[lorileeky]

@jumpforjoy6 It is a roller coaster ride..

[youngmoolacrazy]

Joan rivers looks like skeletor

[thrashdouche21]

lolololoololololol

[Diseiye]

Joan has always been funny....love her sense of humor

[S955US84]

Orca made a 25 year career of losing and gaining weight.

Fortunately she finally left broadcast TV and now her new cable network is struggling. With any luck, it will go under and cost her hundreds of millions. 

[ArtofScienceirvin]

When Oprah followed up the next month, she had gained 15 lbs.

[MsRhcp4ever]

yeah, if there are so many rich people on the planet who claim to be christians, why is there anyone going hungry?

[permanent0midnight]

Why would someone bother to loose 5 pounds? Frig...don't even bother.

[disnigga2nice]

i love Oprah but the dress is a mess..LOL so 80's prom

[nezneon]

Thank god the 80s are oveeeeeeeeeer!

[alonzo9772]

Did Oprah do an ice skating show before this interview? What is she wearing?

[kakoishii]

@alonzo9772 I know what you mean. That dress was kind of awful looking...even for the 80's.

[DMTzoso]

@alonzo9772 1985

[xzeppelinfan4everx]

@alonzo9772 lmfaooo agreed!!!

[Awesomenizzleness]

oprah is the richiest women alive

[3333alex]

@Awesomenizzleness you're so wrong

[Awesomenizzleness]

@3333alex shes worth like 2.3 billion dollars, she is the richest african american women alive 

[3333alex]

@Awesomenizzleness now you fixed it..

[uninc2684]

hey oprah there is a great diet out there called the "Put the fucking fork down and keep your mouth closed" diet....i hear it works wonders

[askar4kill]

Oprah u fat bitch even after 26yrs and all those billions your fat black ass cant control your greedy eating habbits? jesus....

[Lunabeam1]

@askar4kill she could feed all of africa as much as she eats....jesus.....

[u7498]

OPRAH U DO KIND OF LOOK LIKE NELL CARTER & LIKE UR RELATED

[liliodine]

Hmmmm....I love Joan. But I don't agree that she should start on Oprah about her weight. And I loathe Oprah. It's just a personal issue.

[potsiiscool]

they are clearly having fun. I don't understand why people are taking sides here

[04A13]

@potsiiscool Well my speakers are clearly on Oprah's side...

[potsiiscool]

@04A13 witty, I'll give you that

[xzeppelinfan4everx]

@potsiiscool agreed.

[mmmboy23]

Go Oprah! keep the weight or lose the weight, who cares you great! Joan is the one who should gain some weight, she looks like Cruella Da Velle

[mmmboy23]

@mmmboy23 your great.

[iBreatheMusic88]

OMG EVEN BEFORE I WAS BORN THERE WAS AN "WEIGHT ISSUE" IN HOLLYWOOD... DAMN

[2490debrick]

This is Channel 4 tv here in the UK we would look at each other back in the 80's when I was a toddler I knew then thats how advanced we are over here my dad would say if Joan was Black who would she be and it's Oprah! Colour or creed they all are the same over there and it's so false it's bad tv!!

[enadams]

LMBO!

[xxcharmed1xx]

I dont like oprah but joan needs to look in the damn mirror!

[videocrack246]

You're a pretty girl and you're single...you must lose the weight!...what's wrong with that?

[Sammy122399]

Wholly shit Joan looks terrible

[eggsetcetera]

I wonder why Joan River's husband committed suicide?

[JhonathanFree]

@eggsetcetera No kidding. To escape the bitch I'm sure.

[dreamthunder]

Joan Rivers battled bulimia for years. She will go puke her guts out to lose 5lbs she doesn't need to lose. She has a lot of gall jumping on Oprah. Anyone can lose weight if they puke up all they eat.

[apriori7]

@DawnFaerie

Yeah, I bet you were born in the 1950's, but I guess in the internet universe we're all 16-25...:p

[nikolaasbell]

Dude Joan isn't being mean

[DawnFaerie]

Ughh, that dress... so glad I wasn't alive in the 80's.

[HunterNylund]

This is a good example of why Joan Rivers didn't last long on Late Nite.

[busymike]

Joan was ugly back then...eww

[billywish]

@busymike back then?

she's still ugly.. and even more fake plastic

I was an 8th grader in rural South when an unknown Oprah Gail Winfrey appeared on “Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” with guest host Joan Rivers on Oprah’s 31st b’day: JAN. 29, 1985. I have no recollection of watching this when it aired, but saw it for the “first” time on 11/06/11—three days after Curt Jones’ “Ice Cream of the Future”, Dippin' Dots Inc, filed for bankruptcy protection in federal court in Western KENtuckY. This fits nicely with Joan mentioning “800 calories worth of cookies”

I was an 8th grader in rural South when an unknown Oprah Gail Winfrey of Chicago appeared on “Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” with guest host Joan Rivers on Oprah’s 31st b’day: 1/29/85 (watch?v=TAtjDjZa2eA). Rivers was Carson’s “Tonight Show” guest on JUNE 13, 1969.NBC News Washington Bureau Chief Tim RUSSert died exactly 39 years later on JUNE 13, 2008, a month after Chicago’s Barack Hussein Obama—“44th prez”—wrapped up the Demoncratic nomination over Chicago’s Hillary DIANE rodHAM Clinton

[ivelosthewilltolive]

Love those 80's hairstyles. And I'll bet Oprah wishes those shoulder pads would come back.

[williewill037]

What happened to the sound?

[LordSolaris]

Oprah being put to task by Joan Rivers over her weight! How the world has changed!

[ShangoJamal]

She shouldv'e told her to pick a face and stick to it. Of course, Joan couldn't have known that the same "fat" woman that she took a shot at would eventually become the biggest name in television history, and that Joan would just end up being The bony Face-Lift queen.

[ShErOnful]

she is such a bitch.

she is sooo ugly.

[angelabrandy]

I know Oprah wanted to slap that ho! lol

[johannaaight]

this is hilarious

[visceralguy]

lol

[SmellyCatSally]

Seriously, you rude bitch, STFU and leave Oprah alone!! You can all say 'she didn't mean anything by it', but you should NEVER say anything to someone about their weight, it's just mean.

[hothoefries]

@SmellyCatSally If you don't tell anyone anything they'll be fat for their whole lives. Especially if they're trying to lose weight, lol. You'd just sit there and watch them eat diabetes?

[SmellyCatSally]

@hothoefries The kids at my school used to tease my dad for being overweight and it really hurt him, and he later developed diabetes despite changing his eating and fitness habits. He is now still overweight because of the medication he has been put on for the diabetes, and is struggling to lose after all these years, and he doesnt need to be reminded that he's fat. You think Oprah didn't KNOW she was fat? You obviously dont know how hurtful these things can be.

[Melyaiah]

does anyone notice in this video that Joan Rivers is severely anorexic. how is she not on a drip? That's ridiculous

[SmellyCatSally]

@Melyaiah I know!! She looks like shit!!

[catawba909]

I don't think her face could take to lose 5 more pounds.

[Syniqal]

"What's the difference between smaller and shorter?!" "Uhm... About this much!!?"

These two women are both geniuses, and they both know what they're saying and how much they can get away with. Joan Rivers is fantastic at coming up with, let's face it, quite harsh and risqué jokes, and Oprah is fantastic at bouncing those snipes right back at her.

They both give as good as they get.

That said, I'm gay, and I must admit that they're both bloody good-looking women. In this clip. >.<

[brooks085]

@chris12121 uh yeah it is rude oprah can be 400 pounds if she so chooses. she dont need a put down about something she already feels terrible about. she went on an all liquid diet around this time.

[SammSammmm]

My God the 80's were a strange era, just look at those clothes! Fantastic!

[IamMusic247]

WOW joan looks like a total different human being.....its weird hearing her voice from a different body and face

[brooks085]

joans a bitch sorry! the only reason she called Oprah pretty was because it gave her passage to say she needs to loose weight. why the fuck is it Joan's Business what size anyone is. Oprah already felt bad about her weight, she dont need to be told she needs to loose it. She already knew, cant stand people who are rude like Joan Rivers is. Shes so caught up on how people look and what they where.

[chris12121]

@brooks085 Omg, just shut up, why do you people need to write all this negative shit. Looking back now, after all Oprah's ups and downs with her weight, you think it was rude of Joan to say keep the weight down. I don't think so.

[kaj3327]

I fucking love Oprah . I admire how she didn't even blink twice when that white powdered face bitch embarrassed her like that. And guess what Joan .. SHES RICH BITCH..and has wayyyy more money then your plastic face ass.

[littlebloodyskirts]

LOL @ mybigredlip. If you take that as a compliment then I'm sorry you've been treated so poorly in your life.

[BraidedLily]

Oh, the awful clothes of the 80s! White shoes, white hose and big, flashy earrings, lol.

[JKalama25799752]

@abblue93 You shouldn't be happy about someone's death. ESPECIALLY someone that you don't know personally. btw Why do you hate her? I hope its not because she's mean because being excited for someone's death isn't very nice :)

[tamikajay2k10]

Thats foreal tho. You gotta let your friend whats up. if you cant be real you not a real friend.

[194jms]

Oprah's come SUCH a long way. She looks terrible here, and I don't just mean overweight. She hasn't found her inner strength yet.

[fashionistakim]

Joan was very pretty back then....

[lesterclaypool1]

Remember the Oprah diet where she stuck her head up her own ass? Didn't work, but her head is still firmly planted there.  Thank God this woman is off television.

[MrJuly1990ish]

@lesterclaypool1

And you need to stick your head up your ass and STFU.

[lesterclaypool1]

@MrJuly1990ish oh dont get mad you take it harder than oprah did ,,, just move along nothing to see here just move along

[ljfcoombs]

WHAT IS OPRAH WEARING!!!

[CBJAMPA]

Why won't people just mind their own business and let people be. Most people who are judgmental about peoples weight are big losers. I am just delighted to see now some 25 years later that, in spite of her constant battle with her weight problems, Oprah made it big, not only to herself, but has touched millions of lives in a positive way all over the world. And where the hell is that stupid, alienated, bimbo, shallow Joan who?

[jpereztheargus]

@CBJAMPA She's a comedian though. It's her job to make fun of everyone and everything. It's not like she really believes Oprah, Liz or any chubby person to be worthless.

[sara31tx]

You have to know Joan..she didnt mean anything bad by what she said

[JhonathanFree]

@sara31tx I don't want to know Joan. She is repulsive.

[privatedancer06]

This was a fun interview!

[honeyluv15]

Oprah....before....and after! One of the most powerful women in the world. Joan is great but Oprah got the last laugh.

[Milton754]

I must say I am a fan of Joan's, but her comment to Oprah about losing weight was out of line and none of her business. Yes, obesity is a problem in the US; it is important to realize, you don't need to tell somebody they need to lose weight when they already know that. It is an individual motivation to do so. You can state it all you want, but that person have to be motivated within to do so.

[mybigredlip]

i adore JOan Rivers and I hate the people here who are saying Joan is such a mean old bitch and how she's just so old and that kind of shit. Can you hear that Joan was also complementing Oprah. Saying she was a pretty girl and she must lose the weight. I dont think Oprah took it offensivley or anything.

[alhawal1]

@mybigredlip your right ilove her too, they cant get her jokes

there stuped

[mybigredlip]

@alhawal1 She's built her career by making jokes about people. They jealous cause they know they can't afford her lifestyle.

[joeeezy69]

@mybigredlip You must not have watched the video you fucking retard

[mybigredlip]

@joeeezy69 Ever heard of tough love, bitch. I did watch the video. 

[joeeezy69]

@mybigredlip Y u mad tho?

[mybigredlip]

@joeeezy69 You called me a retard!

[XxpauldadudexX]

50 pounds but Oprahs still fukin lovely compared to this skinny old bag

[martinlindsgaard]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I feel bad for Oprah but kudos to her for dealing with this zany bitch in such a elegant and fun way............

[MrVoicy]

I love joan , but she was rude here

[elenavlada]

what the hell r they wearing???????

[HikaruYamamoto]

@palatiality while at the same time people also die from being too thin...

[ArethasChild]

funny my ass..If i was Oprah, I woulda put Joan white ass in place and put her ass in check.

[FallenG0d]

@ArethasChild Aw kick back she's only jokes..

[Jsd8675]

@ArethasChild Nice racist comment, blackie
