When Jeremy Clarkson doesn't want to talk and wants to hear more of somebody - you know that this person is some kind of legend. RIP Joan, you were truly one of a kind
She told me to tell you she appreciates your sentiment, but she ain't resting, she's getting another facelift. Due to the decaying, well it's not a pretty story.
On the same note, I'd like to point to proof of how classy Joan is - she yields back the floor. She also always gives her full attention to whoever's turn it is, and doesn't cut in. It's something that separates her class of comedy from some other comedians, who are always cutting in and trying to grab air time.
James May couldn’t possibly have enjoyed himself more, not only with Joan’s jokes, but participating in a conversation that Jeremy couldn’t possibly dominate.
Yes. That is why many people loved her, for her honesty. She would always dare to say what everybody is thinking..... but but pretend to be so nice to say it out loud. She was really funny, original and a very special lady.
Is it really honesty? It seems to me she was making those stories up. Which by the way she was telling them in every show of hers repeatedly. I don’t think they had anything to do with her real opinion. I think it was just an act as it is for most of the comedians.
When she’s on the show, she’s so deferential to others, letting them have their moment…but who are we kidding. They are all just backdrop to whatever she is up to. God could be special guest this week and he’d just be in the chorus line while she starred.
Exactly what i was thinking, usually when Clarkson is on a show with other celebrities he is the center of attention but in this episode joan just over shadowed Clarkson like he was an amateur...
disgusting how jeremy clarkson lied about what he said about mexicans and it was just about the worst lie i have ever heard on television. He is such an asshole this whole show.
Joan Rivers could make any show hilarious, she has always been one of the funniest people in comedy the older she got the better she was, will miss you.
I had to scroll down so I could not see the picture, every time I saw Joan's face it made me feel ill. Surgery is bad. If you have an accident and need facial reconstruction then I have no problem with it. When people get work done for the sake of vanity the results can sometimes end up looking disturbing.
@Rima Bahar I guess it just depends what you get done and who does it then, because these results don't look good to me at all. Celebrities in TV, Music & Film are probably the most vain, so it is not suprising to me that many have work done.
This is probably my favorite episode of any talk/late night show, ever. I always stumble upon it and end up watching the whole thing. Amazing cast chemistry. RIP Joan Rivers, you are sorely missed, especially in this day and age when everyone's so bitter and serious.
So glad I found this clip, Joan was at her best. So many people complain about her plastic surgery, I say it was genius, she knew she wouldn't still have a booming career at 80 without it. She was totally committed to whatever it took to make it.
It was good... Top 20 maybe? She barely could get on a role.. I felt she was trying to be polite and not talk... No, this isn't even top 50.. I regularly watched her, weekly, for years... You're missing out.. Do a search and I'll bet you, the top 10 things you watch, are funnier than this show. go, search, "Best Joan Rivers"
@@Leshic2 Ok, to each their own? I as well had Watched Joan for a very long time and was very fortunate to watch her perform live in Atlantic city, New york city and Lake Tahoe and in Pittsburgh Of all places? I agree she could've more, maybe even better, but the show wasn't only about her?. The most important thing is we both clearly enjoyed her....
I remember how funny Joan was back in the day, but in her later years, she became nothing but a shrill, self-absorbed, misanthropic, plastic-faced old harridan who criticized other folks just because of the clothes they wore. She couldn't have been more useless.
@@Trillock-hy1cf Who the hell could replace Robin? Are you kidding me? You might not think he was very good, but he certainly was incredibly unique. Nobody could even come close to mimicking him. He truly was irreplaceable.
@@Dead-cg1yy He was alright in 'Mork and Mindy', a bit annoying in 'Good morning Vietnam' and OK in 'Mrs. Doubtfire'., but not one of my favourite comedic actors, as he appeared to be a bit manic. But you like him, so that's fine...
@@Trillock-hy1cf I'm not talking about his comedy or your opinion of him, that's a different thing. That's your opinion. But to say he's not irreplaceable... I mean give me an example of someone that can replace him, you'll see there not many, if not none, that can actually BE him. He was a real life character that no else could recreate, making him like many others irreplaceable.
@@Dead-cg1yy Yes, he is sadly missed, as he was different from other comedic actors. Much the same as John Wayne is missed, and no one could replace him either, though many have tried....:)
Honestly, to have been 80 and still have the edge and delivery that Joan had at this point is very admirable. She had well seasoned comedians and actors who've been around great comedians for many years geniunely laughing out loud. Respects to an icon of the craft 👏
+Melody Moon Not that this episode is not funny, because I think it is hysterical; but please go watch the episode with Miriam Margoyles and Will I. Am. That is my personal favorite of all time (so far.)
Wasn't Jeremy Clarkson rumored to make over 20 million pounds for every Grand Tour season? He is also the producer and writer on the show, so he will keep making money on syndication for years on it.
Jeremy also made £1 million/episode towards the end of top gear, also the BBC bought all of his outstanding ownership of top gear in 2013 which was worth a whole lot back then, not so much now though. That man has plenty of dough.
For All the haters on Joan Rivers out there, I want to put you on a talk when you are 79 years old ( that's how old she was when this aired) and show us if you could match wits anyone anywhere the way Joan could. I doubt it! R.I.P. Joan
Come to think of it, she left us at the perfect time. Now people have to apologize for everything they say. Every joke, every opinion will "offend" someone. I have always loved her for being unapologetically herself and being a brilliant comedian. I can't imagine her succeding or even happy had she having to apologize to everyone she joked about.
This couch actually turned out to be really hilarious - I was laughing more at Jake Gyllenhall, Jeremy Clarkson and James May laughing at Joan Rivers, soooo good
6:50 Just one of the many thousands of reasons I will *always* love Joan Rivers and will miss her acerbic wit and self-deprecation forever. RIP, Queen.
Man she is fucking hilarious. "As a turd" has me on the floor. Same as the "Is there a terrorist on board?" James was pretty spot on about the coffee conundrum as well
Joan got so much better with age, loved her, classy and hilarious and timing impeccable. Thanks for giving her room to talk on the couch! She always makes the GN show!
R.I.P Joan

he conceded it too. "Oh i don't want to bore you all with cars; let's hear joan."
He also respected to hear others
Hard to do!
@butt water While I have mad respect for who Joan is, I feel she was trying a bit to hard using the awkward sexual humor.
James May ranting about the wooden sticks. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. I love them all on Top Gear.

It's not often that Clarkson isn't the loudest and rowdiest. RIP Joan.

You will be remembered as a legend
It's been 10 years! Wow.....
One thing I like about James May is . He doesn’t often makes jokes but when he does they are hilarious
"You've given me the baby, now get in the back."
Joan the Legend...Her punchline was in perfect timing, no holds barred and raw. Missed her...
you know is real comedy when 10 years later still hilarious
So glad I found this clip, Joan was at her best. So many people complain about her plastic surgery, I say it was genius, she knew she wouldn't still have a booming career at 80 without it. She was totally committed to whatever it took to make it.
I found the fact she was very self aware and self deprecating about her plastic surgeries made it totally not an issue. Total legend!
She is so great
Priceless!

do you know how many celebrities have herpes??? loads! loads of ppl have herpes. some people don't even KNOW they have it.
Why can't more yanks be funny like that?
This has to be one of the best episodes.

In case you aren't aware, they are not mutually exclusive.
Watson Everly true they were unprofessional af, and took photos of her during a surgical procedure
pretty sure it's okay to judge talk show guests even if you couldn't put a good performance on yourself
The best part of watching Joan is the reactions she gets from the other guests. The best line is the guy saying to her, "you talk some more."
When you watch a show for one or two guests and the one you really didnt think youd like steals the show. Bless you joan rivers. You are comedy gold!
