I'll be sure not to watch this.

Why wasn’t Kathy Griffin included, it would make more sense for her to be there than Chelsea Handler.

Where’s Mrs. Kathy? This event seems kind of rinky-dinky.

Kathy shit all over Fashion Police and threw them (including Melissa) under the bus during that whole Giuliana Rancic controversy. Melissa wants nothing to do with her and rightly so.

One of MANY bridges Kathy has burned.

Trump will tape a special message thanking Joan for voting for him

I hope that in honor of her adventures in plastic surgery, they do as part of the tribute a salute to Cubist portraiture.

Meryl Streep will appear to perform the great "A POKUH PLAYUH!" denunciation monologue.

Not a very impressive collection of "stars." More like "C-list-studded" (except for Jean Smart).

No Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar or Rosie ? They should be part of it - they were her friends who showed up at her funeral ten years ago. She was a regular on 'The View'. Wonder if they'll even talk about this special on the show. Whoopi and Joy really adored her, and she adored them in return.

Will they showcase all the gay guys who shadow-wrote her jokes?

Rita Wilson but no Rita Rudner?!

No surviving extras from “The Swimmer”!?

How embarrassing. Kathy Griffin is probably grateful she was snubbed.

At least Billy Crystal could be there to perform a scene from "Rabbit Test."

Did anyone watch this special ? What did you think ?

I thought it was pretty awful. Today's comedians (who collectively have about a tenth of the talent she had) reciting jokes from her 'card catalog' she had kept for 50 years. The only one who was somewhat entertaining was Nikki Glaser (who looks a lot like a young Barbra Streisand in the early 70s - if a movie is ever made on her, Glaser is the one who should play her).

I saw that it was on and had no interest in it, r15. At some point she stopped being entertaining to me.

I couldn't understand why they bothered to do this ten years after her death (I'll assume this was actually filmed eight months ago, around the tenth anniversary, as they kept saying 'it's been ten years'; I guess NBC wanted to save this for 'May sweeps' ? ). Something like this should have been held a few months after her death - not ten years.

How is Tiffany Haddish still a thing, she tried to use& groom an underaged girl?

Doesn't child grooming young girls so she can suck their pussies BAD?

I know she paid her off but come on?

by Anonymousreply 18May 15, 2025 1:46 AM

I turned it on in time to see Haddish perform Hava Nagila and quickly switched back to Lawrence O’Donnell.

Kathy Griffin should have been at the top of the list invited. Deeply disappointed in Melissa for this cunt move.

^^^Kelly Osbourne was the fat cunt who started all the bullshit after Joan died^^^
