More Girls Who Do Comedy - Joan Rivers 1/3

[PhantomLyric]

I gotta say, since I was about 5 years old, I've always been a HUGE fan of Joan Rivers as a comedienne... I don't understand why she credits her sister as being the pretty one. She was a bombshell in my opinion back in the 50s! In the 50s, she was comparable to today's Kristen Bell.

[ibclappin]

@maybeindeed we don't have much time

[ibclappin]

@maybeindeed it's ready

[ibclappin]

@maybeindeed will you buy it?

[AZUREE100]

My take on Dawn is nada. WHY ? I never heard of her. Her weight is not a problem for me but her laugh annoys the hell outta me- I feel she is adorable after this interview as she seems to adore Joan as i do

[dec1612981]

rivers is fantastic , would love get in to bed with her

[burkaaninjsh]

@dec1612981 and that's all what you can imagine doing together with a wonderful woman? sad. very very sad.

[dec1612981]

@burkaaninjsh so ?

[burkaaninjsh]

@dec1612981 no, I'm just amazed, that's all

[ibclappin]

so she got her comedy from her father coming home from work and making fun of people's illness and misery... sounds about right. i really love her. oh another thing though, and this one's kinda serious: you insist on liking to call her "joan" when she's old enough to be your mother then i guess i like to call you "chins." that's what i really had to say pausing this at 1:18, now i'll watch the rest

[aerialkate]

@ibclappin - What a mean spirited person you are. Dawn began the interview by politely asking if she could call Joan by her first name. She started to say "I'd like to call you Your Majesty..." The respect is there and it's evident throughout the interview. I love Dawn's laugh - it's so infectious. Joan is obviously an idol of hers, and you're complaining about Dawn's "chins"? So shallow, so depressing.

[ibclappin]

@aerialkate your response is just more comedy for me to enjoy

[aerialkate]

@ibclappin Didn't you already respond to my post , like...months ago? I've been wondering why you posted again and the only thing I can think of is that you deleted your old post and replaced it with this new one liner of devastation. Shouldn't have bothered, should you?

[ibclappin]

@aerialkate i like how i bothered because i enjoy my new response more than the old one

[aerialkate]

@ibclappin - You should get out more. Really.

[ibclappin]

@aerialkate i do get out from time to time. for example the other day i went out on a date; she only has one chin which is a plus, on the down side though she likes to store two-by-fours inside her rectum and that's kind of a turn-off for me personally. but altogether i try to look at the bright side of things in life

[Jacada123]

"Who cheers you up Joan?"

"No one"

:(

[flowergirl2334]

When I saw her documentary, I wasn’t expecting to be affected as strongly as I was. It was really very touching, she has had some hard times in her life, and still manages to show up everyday and give it her all. I really respect her for that.

[DROPABEAT83]

They don't really seem to bounce off each other and have fun...this is pretty serious and formal :/

[mwmoregon003]

joan, you are extaordinary...

[Maegthondiel]

It's so nice to see Joan being serious and not having to make jokes constantly. I think she's hilarious when she does but it's touching to see a glimpse of how sensitive and caring she is. She seems like such a genuinely good-hearted person.

[danibayliss]

It makes me sad, and also inspires me, to see how tortured Joan is. Seems like she's been really affected by her experience as a child, being outcast - and its carried over in her whole life to this day. Its always really tragic when someone great cannot see their true greatness, but it should be an inspiration to all for self love, confidence, and always striving to de-condition from the all too often traumatic childhood, and the complexes that our parents so kindly leave us with.

[futurelegendfilms]

This is a really good interview. Dawn has a gift for relaxing her guests and letting them reveal themselves. Joan is surprisingly shy. Sweet.

[cpnstav]

They should have kept this crap in the states .If she wasnt Jewish I doublt she would have even got on the stage let alone TV. About as funny as drying paint.

[yngguy4u]

two of the funniest woman around. dawn french in french and saunders or the vicar of dibley, and joan rivers on how'd you get so rich or her stand up or her jewelry. so funny. these bitches rule comedy.

[kbotreau1]

i don't know why people insult her that much... she's pretty funny!

[marky77]

"You would never see an overweight woman like this on American television"

Well, that's just sad for America isn't it. Dawn French is a lovely and funny woman, who cares if she's fat? She makes fun of herself for it anyway.

It is also ironic considering the average UK BMI is 26 and the average US BMI is 27.9, if anything there should be MORE overweight woman on American TV...equality and all...

[BananaSandwich1]

i wouldnt go that far, overweight is very unhealthy regardless of wether someone's nice

[yokie52]

@BananaSandwich1 That's not necessarily true. The longest life expectancy in the US are in Minnesota, Iowa. These are states where women have some meat on their bones. I think happiness, sense of purpose, positive attitude, close knit relationships, etc. have more to do with "healthy" life. My grandmothers lived to 90 and all were never thin.

[wildjaguar2007]

joan looks good for 76 so people should shut up they wont look like her have her style and have so much energy at 76

[danibayliss]

@wildjaguar2007 Woah 76?! Jeez that plastic surgery stuff really works.

[papperwait]

i <3 joan rivers

[MistressEbony]

What is it about You Tube that makes people so aggressive. All you had to do was explain who this woman was. Geesh.

[ahabthewhaler]

perhaps because your comment was insulting towards the person to begin with. saying someone looks like a drag queen and then commenting on her weight might get some return fire. perhaps you should think about that in the future

[TeKuLuv21]

shes Joan Rivers she was ab actor and a comedian from the 80's

[LauraBeachnut]

@TeKuLuv21

Try the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s and 2000 till the present!

...face it, this kid's a STAR!

[BlueSpirit3743]

That would be Dawn French! She's a friggin LEGEND here in the UK so shut up! so what she has a weight problem. She's our Rosie O' Donnell except better, although, O' Donnell is pretty fucking hilarious!

[Guitarscreech06]

She looks like A WOMAN.

[spencerjohn2k]

Beautiful interview

[canelle09]

Love you Miss Rivers!

[Lexphoto]

She looks pretty good here, all the surgerys have made her look a bit like Barbara Eden (i dream of jeanie).

[MysticAFI]

"I'm upset when people expect me to be the jester." Yeah, I hear ya, and completely relate. Even comedians do other stuff.

[InTheZone2010]

i luvvvvv joan rivers!!!!!

[antananarivo201]

I´m so happy for her... she just won the Celebrity Apprentice.

[lamah]

She sounds at the point of tears throughout the interview.. :(

[izzyink]

what an honest, intelligent and warm interview, love them both

[qutoobe]

"So round, so firm, so fully packed!" I think this line is from a Bugs Bunny cartoon about Christopher Columbus, when he is trying to convince the King of Spain that the world is round instead of flat. Maybe he (Benjamin Freid) was trying to match Your comic wit, Joan! Anyway, You've already shown the world how marvelous You are. He can suck on that!

[polix8371]

She's absolutley amazing

[drowsymaggi]

Thank you!
