Joan Rivers As Tonight Show Guest Host, 1984

Today I recall fondly some of Joan Rivers’ vintage appearances on The Tonight Show both as a guest and as the host, in John Carson’s absence.

Click below to see one of Joan’s great opening monologues, this one from 1984.

She was always great as a guest, in my opinion, even greater as a guest host.
