Do You Agree with Joan Rivers on This? I Do!

Joan says that Chelsea Handler won't speak with her since she corrected her. Chelsea said she was the first female comic to host a late night show - Joan reminded her she used to fill in for Johnny Carson.

Chelsea was never going to come back to E! She got the gig in the first place because she was the live-in GF of the network president...they broke up several years ago. Her ratings were down, in fact I never really heard her name mentioned lately re: late night shows and the new hosts.

They're both right. Joan did host, but Chelsea had her own show and Joan didn't. Other than that, I can't think of a single thing in CH's favor. I just don't appreciate her.

Ms. Rivers was a "fill-in", Ms. Handler was 'full-time'. You decide.

I don't care one way or another. JR is not on my list of favorite people.

You forgot that Joan had her own late night show on Fox for a short while. It was HER show.

There's a difference between being a host and a fill in just like there's a difference between a teacher and a substitute teacher. Although Joan was filling in for Johnny, that wasn't her show. I thought that Chelsea was referring to being a full time host for her own show. I don't see anything here to create a feud.

Google time! Joan did have her own show on Fox in 1986, which infuriated Carson. The show did not last long. But she was the first woman, she is right about that.

Chelsea started it.

Joan DID have her own show after she filled in for Johnny.

My son thinks Chelsea is a riot, but he said he would NEVER date a woman like her!!!
