Profile

Joan Rivers is a comedian, television personality and actress. She is known for her brash manner and loud, raspy voice with a heavy metropolitan New York accent. Rivers' comic style relies heavily on poking fun at herself and other celebrities.

Joan is also a best-selling author, playwright, screenwriter, motion picture director, columnist, lecturer, syndicated radio host, Emmy Award-winning television talk-show host, jewelry designer, businesswoman and, most importantly to her, mother and grandmother.

The daughter of immigrant Russian parents, Joan created her own brand of irreverent, unconventional comedy to forge her remarkable rise to stardom in the entertainment world. Enduring humiliation and privation for nearly a decade playing tawdry clubs, Borscht Belt hotels, and Greenwich Village cabarets (“I was insanely persistent,” she says), Joan’s career skyrocketed in 1965 when she appeared on “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson. Within three years she was hosting “That Show With Joan Rivers,” one of the first syndicated daytime shows, and went on to become the first solo guest host of “The Tonight Show.” Her own “Late Show with Joan Rivers” was launched in 1986, and in 1989 she returned to TV with “The Joan Rivers Show,” winning an Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host. In that same year she was awarded her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Joan continues to headline at prestigious concert venues worldwide, and maintains a busy tour schedule. She often performs in Atlantic City.
