So ironic that he opened the interview with a question about worrying that the work will slip away in old age, she worked till her dying day.

Wow, this video is almost 50 years old and it shows that, somehow, the incredible Joan Rivers stayed just as funny, brilliant and charming up until the day she died. There's a reason this lady was loved by people around the world and there will never, ever be anyone like her again. Thank you posting this clip.

I LOVE seeing young Joan because it shows how she stayed true to herself as she aged. She was truly GREAT.

Remember when late night television made you laugh?

I love her brown outfit and her louis vuitton bag, she was iconic

I miss Johnny, I miss Joan, I miss Rickles.   It's wonderful to have this interwebby thingamajig.

I'm in my twenties and find no one can truly make me laugh as much as Joan had. Her jokes are still relevant and hilarious even from decades ago. She was forever ahead of her times. RIP Joan!!!!! Thanks for all the laughs

best of American TV. Who do we have now? Nothing.

A true legend. Sick with illness, but still performs like the professional she was. 💙

It took a brave soul to enter the laughter games with Joan Rivers. Carson was one of the few who could -  her speed always took my breath away.  What a marvelous upload - thanks.

Carson had such a voice...

Johnny really knew how to hold onto a grudge

The toothbrush joke lmao

I love Joan. I love, LOVE Joan and I incredibly miss her.

I miss joan , she was my guilty pleasure

First, this shows Joan was never ugly. I can see the difference her multiple cosmetic surgeries have made; her face in later years was much fuller. But she was lovely even before it. But if it made her happy, I applaud her.
Second, you could see that she and Johnny had such a great rapport. It's such a shame their friendship ended.
Third, her material, to this day, had me in tears. Classic!

'Our girl" Carson rarely showed such attachment.

Such chemistry between these 2! They just fed off of one another!

Joan Rivers a true comic legend. She was not afraid to take risks and her jokes were hysterical. Miss you and your humor. I am sure you are making the angels laugh up there.

I miss her tremendously. Till date I have never find anyone who can replace Joan Rivers till date. RIP.
