She was only not long ago ripping into people, now she gets the last laugh because where they were disliking her the social conventions will force them to make big u-turns with their thinking. Just think of all the people that will have said she should hurry up and die only very recently. And then she does! She delighted in f*****g with people, she would be pleased to be messing with people this one last time.

Personally I always liked her. She said some amusingly offensive things. Sad to see her go but like I said, she's probably glad to have been messing with people right up to the end.

Spooky, I was was just thinking about her this morning and wondering if she had died recently. The only things I know about Joan Rivers is from impersonations of her that I saw on comedy skits or Tiny Toons.

She was a tremendous talent. She was at her best as the center square in the 1980s incarnation of the Hollywood Squares hosted by John Davidson. RIP to a wonderful talent. :(

It had been in the news that she was in the hospital for the last ten days or so. In and out of a comma. Seeing this thread was the first time that I heard that isnt coming out of the coma this time. Sad, but not unexpected.

I remember her from the Johnny Carson show. He helped her start her career, then when she got a chat show he never spoke to her again.

Carson did seem to hold grudges.

roughly 3 years ago she expressed a premonition that it was closer to her time, she told her daughter that she had a good life.
