Joan Rivers

We've lost yet another comedy great. Joan Rivers passed away today at the age of eighty-one and she was funny. And she was honest, too. There's no question that everyone, not just the comedy world, will miss her. Here are a few tweets to describe the impact she had on everyone through her blazed trails.

“How wonderful it would be if there were something out there, and they were all single & Jewish” -JoanRivers on StarTalkRadio
