Finding an honest answer isn't always easy … unless you're within earshot of Joan Rivers.
The comedian/actress/fashion commentator/jewelry designer and all-around renaissance woman hilariously goes where most people fear to tread in her Bravo comedy special "Joan Rivers: Before Melissa Pulls the Plug."
The special, airing on Bravo on Tuesday, Oct. 24 at 10 p.m. kicks off a series of programs featuring funny women. (Up next Caroline Rhea and then Paula Poundstone)
Rivers has had a career many of the actresses she meets on the red carpet can only hope to achieve. The daughter of immigrant Russian parents, Rivers began her comedy ascent with relentless perseverance in an endless array of New York comedy clubs.
Her career skyrocketed in 1965 when she appeared on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. The 40 years that followed would include countless television appearances, films, a Tony Award nomination, an Emmy and emergence as a Hollywood fashion figure.
But no matter what her platform, Rivers is a comic to the core, bringing her quick wit to whatever the project. Her comedy special is evidence that when Joan talks, people not only listen, they laugh.
Your comedy special is called "Joan Rivers: Before Melissa Pulls the Plug." And our daughter comes up a few times in your act. How does she react when you joke about her?
She really tries to pull the plug. She hates me very much. What saves me from being murdered by her is that I wear a different dress size, thus she has nothing to gain.
