Joan Rivers

Joan Rivers is an American comedian, actress, talk show host, businesswoman and celebrity. She is known for her brash manner and loud, raspy voice with a heavy metropolitan New York accent. Like the ground-breaking Phyllis Diller, Rivers' act relied heavily on poking fun at herself. She makes frequent talk show appearances, and hosts her own show on QVC. She is a former red carpet style expert for E! and TV Guide Channel.
