She made many people laugh and many people mad, yet my favorite moments of Joan Rivers was when she was being just that - Joan Rivers...
When her grandson Cooper would come to set and sit on her lap in between takes, or when she couldn't get through a joke because she was already laughing too hard. I think still to this day she hasn't pronounced Wilmer Valderrama's name right...
It was these little moments that made her human, but it was her talent that made her a legend. We will always love you. We will eternally miss you. But if there's anything that we can learn from your 60 year career - it's that just because you're down, doesn't mean you're out.
Today I leave you with something Joan said to the audience during a Q&A session that stuck with me so much in that moment that I tweeted it out:
Don't rest - you never did. Why stop up there? Keep 'em laughing Joanie...
