Can we talk?
Tonight, a true labor of love. Joan Rivers: Dead Funny All Star Tribute on @nbc at 10pm ET and the uncensored broadcast streaming on @peacock.
It’s an incredible line up of some of the funniest comedians today. My mother would have laughed out loud so you know it’s going to be good.
Thank you to everyone who made this happen, every person who made the time to work on this, and thank you for following along on what has been a ten year journey to get this made.
I miss my mother every day and it’s an honor to be able to continue to share her legacy.
I had an amazing mother. We didn’t always see eye to eye, what daughter ever agrees with her mother even half the time? But she was mine and I was hers.
Then I had a son, and I realized I was my mother’s daughter. He continues to teach me to be a better version of myself every day.
To all the mothers out there, you’re the fierce love, the unwavering strength, the reason we become who we are.
Thanks New York.

My mother’s appearance on @fallontonight with @jimmyfallon. My mother was incredibly touched when she was asked to be on the show 25 years after she had last been on.
