Joan and Melissa Rivers had one of the most celebrated mother-daughter relationships of all time.
An Ivy League graduate, single mother of a teenage son, author, television producer and philanthropist, what was it really like to grow up with comedy legend Joan Rivers as your mother? If you think Joan said some outrageous things to her audiences as a comedian, you won’t believe what she said and did in private. Her love for her daughter knew no bounds-or boundaries. Melissa Rivers joins us to discuss her mother and her new book, The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief, and Manipulation. She shares funny, and poignant observations and stories about the blonde force of nature who raised her and who she called Mom.

She is refreshingly honest. It's rare to hear a celebrity speak so candidly in an interview.

Seeing and hearing Melissa - Joan would have been extra proud of a daughter who says it like it is and in the best of ways.
I lost my mom a little over four months ago. I was looking for video’s about sadness and grief. My mom liked Joan very much. I think Melissa is very funny also. This has made me laugh. It’s nice to hear funny stories about mom’s. No one loves you like a mother. Hug your mom and laugh with her while you can. Yes it’s hard to know that you can never call her again. To everyone who has lost a mom I’m giving you a gentle hug.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my Mom in March 2020. It has been very difficult living through the last 19 months. Sending you a virtual hug!
I lost my mom in 2004, and you think about them daily some times it's funny sometimes it's hard... but you get on with living... I list my dad in 2012, and she is right it is the end... the period losing him was losing a great link to her ...he would talk about their 49 years together and about times I don't remember as a young child. Hugs to you all...bit now I see my parents in my granddaughter who is 9 and I only wish she could have met them but I tell her about them...and relive so much if them and my younger years with her and my kids and brothers talking about them and laugh ALOT!
My dad turned 68 yesterday and i have already lost my mother to cancer so i'm not taking for granted a second i have with my dad the time he has left in this world
Thankfully 68 is no great age at all these days. You'll have many, many more years with him.
Melissa Rivers said, "...losing your first parent is a comma, losing the second one is a period." So true, so true.
In England, we call a period: a full stop!!
Oh I have to get Melissa’s book!
The people around Elvis said when Elvis died it was like a freight train coming to a stretching halt!
I felt like that about Joan! It was like how could this possibly be over?
i just cant stop hating the fact that joan is gone. love you melissa
Yes very true 😢
She's such a sharp cookie. Joan was bananas about Melissa and she about her mom.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEIR INTERACTIONS AND SHE IS SUCH A "CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK": AS WE SAY HERE IN BRITAIN!! JOAN WAS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUSSS AND HE DAUGHTER IS FOLLOWING SUIT!!! God bless Melissa & Cooper & family! 😇😍🤗
One of Joan's great comebacks was when she became a comedic duo with Melissa. It humanized Joan, & Melissa was a great straight-man. They were hilarious together 😂
It's nice to hear her be funny, she should show this side more often.
the way melissa rivers delivers the stories is phenomenal. she managed to make this meeting so funny. thanks so much! great one hour!
Loved Joan so much, she still makes me laugh. Melissa you are beautiful, and you are correct. When Mothers die, it feels like the end. I miss my Mom too after so many years.
You look so much like Joan. ♥️
VERY ALIKE: BEAUTIFUL, SWEET LADIES!! 🙀💗😿
Melissa Rivers is delightfully honest yet careful and she's funny. It's great to have this extended interview with her. Kotb interviews her superbly.
Marvelous, honest and open interview.
Love Melissa like her legendarily unique mother, Joan!
Melissa is so graceful and this is a great interview. Having lost my own mother just a few weeks ago I can see and feel what a matured insight she has into handling intense grief with so much grace while being humorous. Wish you the very best of everything Melissa, and I know for sure, Angel Joan's light is shining on you from above. Loved her and was an ardent fan!
Its great that Melissa is moving forward with humor. She is speaking and allowing time to heal by talking about and becoming an advocate for change. Joan would love to see what her daughter is doing in her absence. Kudos and hats off to Melissa. You are a very strong woman. Much stronger than I thought you'd be.
Melissa is such an awesome woman! Joan, you did an EXCELLENT job raising her!
Great candid interview. Your mom is so proud of you.
I've never known much about Melissa, but I have to say that after watching this interview and another with Whoopie (also at the 92 Y) my opinion of her could not be higher. Melissa is a terrifically impressive woman. I can see so much of Joan in her, and yet Melissa is entirely her own person. I adored Joan, but I'm sure she was completely overwhelming as a mother. Her personality was as big as she was small. Melissa would have to be strong to survive that and emerge as Melissa and not as Joan's mini-me. I'm truly impressed. Wonderful interview!
Thank you for sharing. Losing my mom was hard but hearing your story gave me new perspective. Love you and your mom!
Melissa you are so right about losing both parents! God Bless you 🙏🏻
Its really sad to hear malisa talking about Joan in past tense, but a lovely reflections
Joan Rivers was my idol she was beautiful and smart a breath of fresh air her comments were off the cuff funny she show the world that she saved all the jokes so everytime I think of her I want to have a joke beautifull kind lady heaven will know many jokes!!!Melissa you are a wonderful daughter!!!
This is a brilliant interview. Thank you for sharing this!
thank you so much for this. i think Joan Rangers everywhere are at peace with Melissa doing rather well. We're always here for you.
Great Interview. Love you Melissa
I talked to Joan and her assistant on the phone, doing phone issues, Joan was great! Melissa is such an insightful young woman! Love ❤️
Me Issa your mom was so great, I am sure you already know that!
Love looking at/listening to Melissa
She's been through a lot but she's doing totally fine. Great woman and so smart. Joan is proud.
yeah she seems like a great woman even though she has been through to much.
I just love how Melissa Rivers puts her thoughts into words.. She's just amazing
An honest girl. Honesty rings true.
Love Melissa and Joan.RIP Joan,she was original!
Thank you! This was an amazing interview about an amazing lady and I appreciate it being provided, so thank you so much!!
Thank you for this interview, it's really awesome. Joan was so proud of Melissa, and she would be very happy to see how amazing she is right now. Can't wait to read this book. Much love from Europe, Melissa! :)
Absolouley love Hoda. She is the most respectful and amazing presenter on television. Truly an inspiration x
She's excellent on her own. Don't know why she's still doing the show with Kathie Lee.
Allen M. Quinn yeah Kathie Lee was annoying I’m so happy she left but it is a lot of wine glasses to fill for Jenna.
thanks so much for posting this!
Melissa is right on about losing a parent. When I lost my Mom I was and still am numb. I will never get over her passing. My Dad was not hard to miss as he was a terrible mean person who destroyed our family with violence. But when he passed I felt totally alone. I had no Mom or Dad anymore. I had no one to stay with if I lost everything. No one to call when things got rough. I thought my Dad was better than I thought he was. I did call him. I was alone. Even though I was married and had kids of my own. It took several years to get over their loss.
I had a similar experience as you did. Dad was an Alcoholic and destroyed our family. I had only one younger brother that was 6 years younger than me. From the time I was 8 years old, I spent most of my childhood trying to protect him. Mom and Dad divorced in 1984 immediately after my Wedding. I was married in May and the divorce was filed for in August.
My brother passed away in 2003 when he was 34 years old. My Dad passed away in 2006 when he was 64 years old. He began having brain damage issues from Alcohol Abuse when he was 50 years old. Then he had major blood circulation issues due to smoking. His leg needed to be amputated when he was 58 years old and needed to use a wheelchair.
I lost my Mom in March 2020 and miss her terribly.
My husband passed away when I was 47 years old in 2010. Mom and I spent all of our free time together over the last 11 years. I feel so very alone every day.
I have the fortune of having a Jewish Step-Father, I still hear His voice in My head, He gave Me the greatest gift.....to see through bullshit in life, including My Own father's family.
Everyone is different. Joan was exceptional, one of a kind, a bright star in all ways. Noone can touch her, not even her daughter. It is OK. Everyone has to be themselves.
Melissa is very funny.. this has been a great hour hour on entertainment!
Joan was so funny.. I miss her so much. Melissa you look pretty... I miss joan so much..
Joan did a terrific job raising a terrific daughter and her beautiful grandson. Thanks so much for uploading this. ox
Excellent interview! Lots of respect for her!
This is such a great interview, I wish there was 30 minutes more of it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful interview~
Awesome interview.
That's perfectly said
Love her ! She is such a strong woman and so real.
Melissa is so much like her mum it's very scary... Where ever Joan is she will b looking down proudly on how Mel is doing RIP Joan xx
I think Joan would be so proud of how Mellissa has handled this entire tragedy. Melissa is definitely a chip off the ol' block!
Melissa is so much like her mother, whom I absolutely loved to bits: she was sooo hilariously funny & I still cannot believe that she is gone as she was "larger than life" & sooo full of energy!!! My Mother's name is also Joan!!! 😇😍🤗
The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree. I feel sorry for Cooper, his Grandma Joan doted on him...what a loss.
Can't believe this woman is 50 years old
What a beautiful and revealing interview Melissa gave so candidly! Good for her!
It's hard not having the love one in your life anymore I still have my grandmother number in my phone anytime I get a new phone I put it in sometimes its hard when u need that love one to talk to or just hear the voice and you can't it's heartbreaking you never get over it's tough Melissa is strong speaking of Joan and cooper they had a great relationship and close love seeing it is beautiful god bless them xx
15:45 - 15:49, remember Joan would use the phrase "It was just!" to transition from joke to joke? I love how Melissa goes, "It was!" -- the minute I heard her say that, I thought I was watching Joan, again. Awesome interview! Joan would be so proud of her. Not to mention the book itself sounds like a hoot.
P.S. Wow! I honest to God never knew Melissa was this funny, lol. I know she's not Joan, but it seems she inherited the funny bone.
I think Melissa is carrying her mom inside of her. They look alike, act alike , tell Jokes alike, and love hard & forevermore. I hope Melissa will please consider following her moms line of jewelry on QVC into her own. Her watch is gorgeous! I want one!! ...it would be a HIT!! Selling what is already there to begin would get Melissa started. Oh please I hope she does it????!!!!
Melissa you don't know me never will but my mother was the love of my life died at 48 I was 25 and I still can't stop laughing crying over her be brave and if you ever get to read this I only at 10 years old stayed up late in the 80s to watch her on the tonight show it was my guilty pleasure didn't care for Johnny peace love and harmony Melissa
I feel and hear my Grandpa's speret all around me everyday when he passed away i couldn't handle anything i had good friends around me
Agree, I love Melissa and she rocks! I'm also so happy to hear what she said about Fashion Police. Kelly and Kathy both used the excuse that the humor wasn't in their taste yet we all knew it was Joan's so how come they couldn't take the heat? I think they definitely acted for themselves and thus didn't act in good faith to Joans's legacy. It just shows that Joan was a true star...and a trailblazer! Joan Rangers forever!
Nick Oxborrow Agreed. They used an excuse that went against everything that Joan had set for the tone of the show. "No apologies, it's just jokes, they're not meant to be serious so don't take them that way". Yes, Gulliana shouldn't have said it because she isn't an established comedian and her character usually holds back so it stood out in a bad way. But she said it. And the joke didn't work and people reacted. Fine, let's move on. The show is all about playing with the line and sometimes you cross it and for Kathy (a professional comedian) to publicly show no understanding of that is ridiculous.
+Thing Thang oh yes oh yes. kathy griffin threw the most unfunny tantrum over why she was leaving fashion police. "i don't want to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism". is she out of her mind? how can the FP humor be perceived as trying to pressure women into perfection? isn't it all about making fun of how perfect the celebrities themselves are trying to appear? kathy, my beloved comedian for years, just totally lost it when she said that making fun of looks has no context, as if those jokes are undeserved. of course there's plenty of context, the stars standing in front of paparazzi, puffing their lips and acting narcissistic! couldn't kethy leave without a statement?! unbelievable that someone of her caliber is capable of throwing this kind of unclassy tantrum!
Pavel Zalutski
yes. And as a fan of Kathy myself (was obsessed with her mid to late 2000s reality show and stand-up specials) I was really disappointed with how she handled everything. If she wanted to leave, fine. But that statement... So pretentious. Lena Dunham apparently helped her write it. Someone who I also like but less so right now.
Nick Oxborrow I feel it would of been funny if Joan said it not guilliana.
Pasha Zalutski As we have since seen Kathy is a mess and imploded her career
Melissa rocks!!❤️❤️❤️
I have revisited this post yet have never commented.
Good vibes your way Melissa.
I did consider Joan as my surrogate matriarch.
Smile daily. It was all worth it.
Thank you Janet
First time seeing this and omg Melissa is funny. I never realized before how funny she is :)
I wish I'd had a mom like Joan
10:12 Joan lives within Melissa. And there was a tiny glimpse. Sobbing uncontrollably!
shes great, has a lot of her mums fire and humour....also intelligent and beautiful.....i understand the dynamics of her relationship with her mum, can totally relate to that.....its the kind of "cant live with you but cant live without you" type of relationship......but love beyond everything....bless her
So miss your mother. Fuqin love her story.
Hoda you’re bomb.com as well. ❤️
RIP Joan, you died for telling the truth! We live in a very sick and corrupt world.
AMAZING! AMAZING! INTERVIEW.. Can't wait to buy the book
Love Melissa so beautiful love Joan great funny woman amazing xxx
She is becoming Joan. She is funny, and a fast talker like her mom. She should be a comedian like her mom.
wonderful!!
3 great ladies and 1 grandson.
she's got Edgars skin tone and Joans looks.
who in the world makes such a foolish comment, ''she has Edgar's skin tone''.
In looking at old photos of their family, I think she looked more like her dad, than her mom.
@twilliger123 😸😹
@@julierood1228 She's the spit of her Mum: "like two peas in a pod": the absolute "spitting image"!!!
Ok I feel so sad and crying getting through this. But let me tell you, you all don't need to part of those snobby celebrity parties. That means your more down to earth than most.
I’ve missed Joan Rivers. She was refreshing honest hard working woman.
She is incredibly entertaining ❤
Looking Like Her Mama :) Miss Joan So Much!!!
BRAVO! Bravissimo!
Melissa,
Are your legs insured? They're gorgeous!
She looks so like Joan also so funny like Joan x
I’m so sorry Melissa. Ur mom is missed. No one was or ever will b like her
Yes Joan would say take the check like in the early videos she mention about Playboy offering 400,000 until we say take the damn check
Love 💜
Love this great talk xxxxx
You can see some of Joan in malisa
Love Mellisa ❤️
Why do I feel the need to watch another "Melissa Rivers" Interview after this? I just watched her interview w/ Whoopie Goldberg.
Mothers day is horrendous for me I don't celebrate it I just watch the day go by on my own. Its my 5th without mum. Its hard watching neighbours celebrate it. But it's just life that's it.
She looks just like Joan.
I wish I had never seen the program of Joan saying to a physiotherapist how sad she was . That was a dreadful interview. I loved her so much. Life is cruel . I think we all suffer. Thank you Joan for making us laugh. ❤️
So sad …. To hear details ….
Loved Joan!
melissa! she's funny!
Melissa, if you’d ever be willing or ready to, I think if you wore a blonde wig in the fashion of your Mom’s hairdo, Fashion Police would again be a huge hit-Because the world sorely misses your Mom and you look just like her. You could have your son wear a brunette wig pretending that he’s you. It’d be incredible if you’d play these roles.
You’re so brave. We dearly love you and feel for you.
My Mom died on Christmas Eve.
My friend’s Mom died on Mother’s Day. We all relate to the loss of our dear Moms. May angels tenderly cradle you.
20:54 The Kathy Griffin part.
Marc nello thank you
I'm not the. Only one I was wanting to carry everybody's grief. Therapy was hard still working on that.
Shes Funny just like her mom.
I❤️ u Melissa
Joan Rivers was funny as hell.
Wow I am impressed I never gave her thought i don't watch TV so I assumed she was like a trashy reality person now I want to talk to her for hours and be friends your right she is a sharp cookie and a professional with class wow thank you
Soulmates can be all forms, I believe Melissa was not only her favorite child, but also her soulmate. AND = Melissa is wearing her mother's shoes. She did not mention it in the interview.
I Love you Melissa and i Love Joan.. You you can play your mom in a movie Easy.easy. Melissa you are very beautiful very attractive.... Lady.
I don't get why Kathy and Melissa fell out. Kathy wasn't going against Joans legacy. Melissa herself said Fashion Police was entirely controlled by the producers. Kathy disagreed with those producers. What has that got to do with Joans legacy?
