Hey I'm Anderson Cooper, remembering Joan Rivers, let's get started.Can we talk?
Joan Rivers could always talk.
Do you know what it's like to go in the morning to take off your facial mask and realize you are not wearing one? hell, you don't know!
With sometimes outrageous1 jokes, nothing was ever off limits.
I hate old people, I ain't old, if you are fucking old, get up and get out of here right now!
Morning 1933, Rivers says even if she was growing up in the NY suburbs, she wanted to be a actress.
I never had a choice, I always says it's like a none's calling, she joined the iconic second city comedy theater in 1961. As her comedy career was taking off, she married producer Edgar Rosenberg in 1964, who would manage her career and become the focus of so many of his wife's jokes. The pair had one daughter together, Melissa. In 1965, Rivers saw her career get a huge boost when she appeared on the tonight show with Johnny Carson for the first time.
He gave all of us shots, my life change, I went on the show the first time, 7 years of struggling, coming out a second city, and on the air he said you are gonna be a star, and the next day my life is different.
It was the start of a 21-year professional relationship with Carson and the show, she made regular appearances, eventually becoming the show's substitute host in 1983.
River's decision to launch her own show on the brand new fox networking the fall of 1986 ended her relationship with Carson and the tonight show.
The mid-night become competition, it became out to kill me, out to kill me, and that's what came down forever, never spoke3 to me again.
The show was cancelled in 1987, just a few months later, Rivers' husband committed suicide in a Philadelphia hotel room.
I was in the house, some idiot called the house and they said where is your mother? somebody from Philadelphia, and I said she is not here, they said please tell your father killed himself. How's that, the phone call?
Rivers regrouped, by doing what she always did, putting her life out in the open. If you laugh at it, you can deal with it, that's why I have lived my own life.
Her career surged again, when her weathering take on red carpet fashion full of remarks and celebrity4 put down exposed her to a whole new group of fan.
I think I am working the best they ever work now, because it's open down to me, what are they gonna do? they are gonna fire me? I have been fired. Audiences not gonna like me? a lot of audiences, they happen to like me. I've been bankrupt, my husband committed a suicide, I mean it's ok, and I am still here, so what's ok?
What are gonna do to me? the funeral is gonna be on Sunday, at temple in Manhattan, the attributes as you might imagine, they've been pouring in throughout the day, too many TV lists tonight, there are several tweeting plays in simple. My heart is torn into half, she wasn't done, and this from Kathy Griffin, a legend, a friend, a mentor5, an icon2 and a widely funny, one of kind rest in peace, Joan Rivers. Kathy Griffin joins me now, Kathy, thank you for being with us, and I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.
I am gonna try to do a good job, but I feel my head is kind of jumble6 cuz I'm grieving, but I also really want to say respect must be paid to this woman, and she blames the trail obviously for me, all the girls. And in the face of so much adversity, a lot of it before I met her, obviously her husband taking his life and being blackness by the talent show must have been so difficult. And while we were friends, I saw her have to jump so many hurdles7, and she was, we just had dinner 3 weeks ago. At her beloved *, in westwood, quietly we could really really talk, and she was a disagree living example to me, we had many many deep conversations about how it's different for girl comedians8 and we spoke in short-hand and had a language, I said to her, you know you are in a club by yourself, you are not just in small exclusive club, you are really the one.
You and I were talking about this a lot, and you were saying you spoke a language that really hardly anybody else can understand.
I think you know when you talk about women in stand-up, it's really quite different then, you know women who are comedy *, or women that have had tremendous support system, like big powerful producers, or multi-million dollar network deal, you know everything Joan did, she created by herself, and fighting for it, she said something to me, I was you know whining9 about something, she said look when you are woman in this business, you have to hold on until your knuckles10 are white until they chop your fingers off, then you hold on by your waist, then you hold on by your elbows, and you never let go, and you know we would joke about everything, appropriate and inappropriate, but she really lived that, and I don't think she should have fired her, but she just did.
