That was good. Thanks!
That’s very funny! Thanks, beaversmom.
I absolutely remember when this was aired!!!!!!
Johnny had Joan on his show later and she slapped him off his barstool!
In today's world with most everything in the toilet, it's good to know that we've been allowed to laugh no matter the circumstance.
That has been one thing that has made Americans stand out so much in the world, that we can laugh at ourselves and others from time to time, that life in the US hasn't been so dire that our collective sense of humor is still in tact.
Her husband and manager, Edgar Rosenberg, fell into depression after a heart attack and committed suicide in 1987. Ms. Rivers became estranged from her daughter, Melissa. Bookings dried up, and her career seemed to be on the rocks. But, struggling with grief, Ms. Rivers.. fell back on the resilience of laughter... As she told widows at a lecture billed as a “grief seminar” some years later: Think positive. Make a list. “One, I don’t live in Bosnia. Two, I never dated O. J.”
The Thather hoax is mentioned by only one commenter as the real reason Carson wouldn't speak with Rivers -- acting playful in the minutes this was aired on live TV, Rivers, who had no clue it was a look-alike stand-in and that she was being made a fool by hidden camera and that it would be aired on national TV, slapped Carson so hard he fell off his stool. They both laughed about it for the cameras, but Rivers was never on Carson's show again, according to this reader comment, and he claimed to have seen it on live TV at the time.
All of that aside -- MANY MANY MANY of the reader comments, from people who have to sign up with Hollywood Reporter to even post a comment, are JUST LIKE FREEPERS in hating Obama and leftism.
If the reader comments for this story at Hollywood Reporter are any indication, there are a HELLUVA LOT MORE conservatives and folks who hate Obama and leftism in Hollywood than we have any idea. Liberals are very much the minority but they have monopoly on much of the MSM. The MSM is a minority of leftists with a megaphone; the majority of Americans are middle or right-minded but their voice is effectively silenced by an MSM that ignores them. Except in reader comments -- that's where you see the real picture.
I found it some of the most refreshing reading I've done in many days.
