Howard will spend 45 minutes talking about how horrible the news hit him and how his day was ruined because he had to call Gary to start re-booking things. He'll end with, "...but I feel sorry for Melissa. Wish her the best. Anyway Robin..." Also Beth will adopt two new cats named Joan and Rivers.

Sorry to keep talking about podcasts, but with the huge gaps in programming it seems almost necessary. Other than Gilbert Gottfried and Adam Carolla, are there any other live podcasts (read: not Artie Lange) that might appeal to the Stern Show crowd?

Meh I must be one of the few people here who could really give a gently caress about Joan Rivers. A "legend" of comedy who spent her last years screaming about what celebrities were wearing. I'm sure the world will somehow manage to go on. Also hopefully her death means her daughter will no longer be able to get any work whatsoever in Hollywood.

Sadly, I've become hooked on The Bone (Tampa FM talk radio). Bubba got fired so the Cowhead Show is in the am drive, Shannon Burke in the middday. And they have an app to listen as well. Afternoons I will check out old Stern shows on demand. Stern hasn't been on for what, 2-3 weeks now?

There's some good clips in this OP that'll give you a sense of the show's style. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3438784

She claims that NBC had not approached her with a new contract and Fox showed up with one plus, her husband was going to be the producer. Carson heard this from Fox and not her personally and took offense. Years later she went on to say that she thinks Carson may have had a thing for her and that her leaving hurt him. Her show though lasted about a year because Fox wanted to replace her husband and they both quit. He killed himself shortly after. The Fox late show eventually became the Arsinio Hall show.

Brocktoon posted:"On some level"? I'm pretty sure Carson was an rear end in a top hat on all levels. He was. Carson was much like Howard is. He would kiss the rear end of people who were above him in the Hollywood food chain but those who worked for him or he felt "owed" him for their career he treated like garbage. He treated comics especially badly. Hell, most people who worked for Carson still won't really be honest about the treatment because they are still scared of him. The poo poo he pulled with Joan is really legendary and well known. I don't think Joan ever truly recovered between the 1-2 punch of the Carson blacklist and Edgar committing suicide. I got to give her a lot of credit for never really giving a poo poo about the politics and working her rear end off forever. Pretty much every female comedian owes her for being the first to really break through in which was always a male only profession. Her career in the last decade or so has been pretty sad but go back and watch her in the 70s and 80s. You will understand why she was so well regarded.

Howard always rants about how Carson would only let comics who killed come sit on the couch. Then one day Howard was doing his Rae Stern, and she (in his voice) did the identical rant to Howard. It was a bit of a Tony Perkins moment... She is way deep in his head.

I remember watching a very touching youtube video where Mr. Rogers would sing to her while she was hosting the tonight show. She seemed incredibly touched and it was such a nice moment. Him singing about liking her, not because of her jokes and her hair (which was the stuff she had to keep up with to maintain her career) was such a nice human thing to sing about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Kp5YeqrlE

I don't think we're seeing the ridiculously revisionist hyperbolic fandom we saw when Robin Williams died, but maybe that's because the people who knew of and appreciated Joan are older and have more perspective than the kids who look back fondly on Flubber. I will say, though, that Joan was an incredibly funny woman who never got soft like so many comedians do once they reach a certain age and level of financial security. Also, as someone who sees the inevitable march of time before him, I appreciate the fact that an 80 year-old can still be as funny, sharp and active as people half her age. We should all be so lucky.

This is not a dig at Joan Rivers, just an observation. It is going to happen again when Don Rickles dies. There will never be any other comedians like them because the rush to win the outrage war would destroy anyone who tries to pull off 1/10th of the jokes they did. Too many people wake up every morning looking for something to be offended by to allow another Joan Rivers to exist.

What's great is that though the internet noise machine targeted Joan repeatedly, she just ignored it or doubled down. For instance, both Joan and Howard called Lena Dunham fat and ugly (which, for what its worth, is an objectively accurate description); both took poo poo for it, but where Howard was on his hands and knees apologizing to Lena for making a joke in the year 2012, Joan responded with quote:"I think the thing we love about her is that she doesn't give a s--t," Stern -- who once apologized for calling Dunham "a little fat chick" -- responded.

My internet outrage brain circuits are burned out due to crap like this, I don't give a gently caress any more. The flip side is text is a picky medium and many jokes don't work due to missing context, facial expressions, voice, body language, timing, and all that other poo poo that makes stand up comedy great. I'm pretty sure that still, in 2014, the most common question on the Internet is "was that sarcasm?". Someone could make the AIDS joke work in a set, but not on Twitter. If someone gets bored they should create a Twitter account that only posts snippits of jokes from well respected comedians so people can get all eOutraged until someone points out it's part of a Richard Pryor or Louis CK joke. I don't think many people here like Howard's interviews but if you want long-form interviews check out Kevin Pollak's Chat Show. Each one is about 2 hours long, is super laid back, and he's had a ton of killer guests. Skip to about 15 minutes in to skip Kevin's monologue.

The best thing Joan Rivers ever did was get kicked off the show Loose Women (essentially the British version of The View) because she said Russel Crowe was a piece of loving poo poo live at 1:00pm in the afternoon(she didn't realize the show didn't have a delay or bleep). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOpquHD4HJQ That being said I couldn't stand her on the Stern show which was partly Booeys fault due to having her on all the time. (The guy from Dead or Alive who sang 'you spin me right round' was also banned from British tv for years for saying Jennifer Lopez was a oval office on live tv)
