Komikerin, Talkshow-Moderatorin, Roter-Teppich-Kommentatorin – Joan Rivers war in den USA ein Star. Vor allem mit ihrer harschen Stilkritik, mit der sie immer wieder für Schlagzeilen sorgte, hatte sie sich einen Namen gemacht. Erst vor Kurzem hatte sie in ihrer Modesendung «Fashion Police» die Emmy-Gala kommentiert.
Remembering Joan Rivers, Comedian
By the 1980s, Ms. Rivers was a go-to guest host of «The Tonight Show» and a common refrain from her act – «Can we talk?» – had become a national catchphrase.
Ms. Rivers always credited Johnny Carson with launching her career, but they had a falling out when she created her own late-night show on Fox in 1986. The first episode of «The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers» featured a very ’80s guest list that included David Lee Roth, who, according to The Times, «dressed like the Scarecrow in ‚The Wizard of Oz’»; Pee-wee Herman; Elton John; and Cher.
