She told him he had to get help, who couldn't pull poor Rivers down. Before Edgar's suicide, she was fired from the talk show, after 1 year.

Just before Johnny Carson 's death, Rivers called him many times, but refused to answer all of her calls. Before Chris Hardwick was a comedian, game show host and a talk show host, he, alongside his family met her, when she was doing an opening act for her own mentor Johnny Carson , in Las Vegas, Nevada, when he was only 3 years old, and became friends, of nearly 40 years, until Rivers's own death in She was very disgusted realizing she could've done better than her.

According to her daughter, Melissa Rivers , her mother was along with her father fastidious in keeping accurate records across the board with everything, because of her drive to always be fresh, she kept records of every appearance, every performance, all the jokes that were used on TV, all the clothes that were worn.
Unlike fellow talk show host Geraldo Rivera , Rivers was a fan of dancing and for inviting nearly every musician on both of her own talk shows. When fellow talk show host Geraldo Rivera was writing the book "Exposing Myself," at the time she asked Liza Minnelli on Rivera's best friends' talk series, The Joan Rivers Show if she ever called him.

The two have been friends until Rivers's own passing in Almost frequently talked about the feud and the breakup of Johnny Carson in several interviews. Had disliked politics in her comedy routines, but during interviews, she enjoyed skewering politicians by insulting both their policies and their fashion.
At age 39, Rivers moved to Los Angeles, California, in , to author a book and to pursue a career as a talk show host and a television personality. She said in interview she was overweight throughout her childhood and adolescence, and that it had a profound impact on her body image, which she would struggle with throughout her life.
Joan Rivers was the only comedienne to have hosted both successful talk shows and a successful reality show during her 55 years in television that revolved around her controversial comedic persona-heavily self-deprecating and sharply acerbic, especially towards celebrities and politicians. Between and , Rivers was the longtime host of E!
Entertainment's Live from The Red Carpet. Lifelong friend of 30 years was Regis Philbin. We were all struggling comics together and the day we had lunch, any one of us could have picked up the check. That's when I knew I'd made it. Camilla Parker-Bowles is an earthy, funny woman. You can swear in front of her. I want them to know I don't think I'm wonderful, or better than they are. Rivers had a monthly slot on The Tonight Show. She hired Rodney Dangerfield to write jokes for her.
In return, Edgar drove her to gigs in the Catskills and hung out at the Stage Deli after her performances, sharing sandwiches at 4 A. Rivers played the casino circuit in Las Vegas, Reno, and Tahoe.
She was on Hollywood Squares. She performed on Fire Island and expanded her fan base to include many followers in the gay community. Her only problem was that her new and improved life deprived her of the usual fount of material about frustration and disappointment.
Turning from desperate-single-girl jokes to clueless-married-woman jokes, Rivers told her audiences that she wore a nightgown with feet to bed on her wedding night. I went to nurse my daughter. She sucked on my shoulder. I moved her to the breast and she lost four pounds. In that era, many female teachers were forced out of their jobs by their second trimester.
Indeed, she had made her name as a sexually liberated single woman. Rivers usually made herself the butt of such jokes, but Edgar was occasionally relegated to the role of sucker. She broke ground because she dared to say things that other people dared to think were funny—and she got away with it. In a interview, Rivers confessed that she had several extramarital affairs while she was married to Edgar—including what she claimed was a one-night stand with Robert Mitchum after an appearance together on The Tonight Show in the 60s, when she was a relatively new bride.
But there was at least one more bombshell still to come. No matter that Carson had been dead for a decade. Or that she and Carson had been estranged for more than a quarter century: he never spoke to her after she signed a deal to host a late-night talk show on FOX in a time slot that overlapped his, on NBC.
Already married to his second wife, he was the father of three sons from his first marriage. But his personal life was chronically turbulent and lurid, at least by the standards of the era. When he died in , Carson had been married four times and endured three acrimonious, expensive divorces, accompanied by reports of infidelity. Even so, the Carson-Rivers Tonight Show appearances had always seemed chaste. With avuncular kindliness, he listened to her laments, responding with the sympathy of an older, wiser confidant.
In return, she was always obsequious, presenting herself as a surrogate daughter, lavishing him with praise and expressing gratitude for everything he had done for her. And their rapport was apparently limited to these brief sessions of bantering for the benefit of their audiences. If her claim was true, Carson would hardly be the only powerful man to have exercised that kind of droit du seigneur. Johnny was dead, and nobody would refute it.
Joan wanted to be talked about, so she said outrageous things. Those who knew both parties were equally incredulous. And to discredit him, maybe. Johnny could have any guest he wanted.
She was a cute, scrawny little Jewish girl from Brooklyn. By March, the certification was reinstated because the clinic was back in compliance with Medicare regulations, according to Reina Becnel, a public-affairs official for the agency. She did not explain how or why, or how it was related to the Joan Rivers case. Also, the clinic's state accreditation for "office-based surgery" has switched from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, to the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.
The distinction is apparently legal rather than medical and it's not clear whether it has to do with Joan Rivers. On Thursday, Yorkville issued a statement through its new media manager, Jane Hardey, in response to questions about the one-year anniversary.
The physicians directly responsible for Ms. Rivers' care are no longer affiliated with Yorkville in any way. Hardy added, "At no time did the clinic cease receiving payment from Medicare nor did any termination of Medicare participation ever become effective. The clinic doctor: Dr. Lawrence Cohen resigned from Yorkville during the uproar following Rivers' death. Cohen conducted the endoscopy procedure on Rivers and, according to the negligence lawsuit by Melissa Rivers, also took cellphone pictures of Rivers while she was unconscious on the operating table.
Cohen's lawyer, Jay Rappaport, says Cohen is still in New York and is still a practicing gastroenterologist — "He never stopped practicing" — although he wouldn't say where or otherwise comment.
