Did you know that the nominee has to pay for their stars?

No I did not know that. Put the nasty face away.

I think she also won a Grammy for one of her comedy albums.

I'm not sure but I do know she was nominated for a Grammy. I hope she won that she deserved it.

Yeah IMO Joan should have gotten the Mark Twain before Ellen. I like Ellen but nowhere near Joan's level.

Joan's humor was probably too brash for them to honor her. Yet, if a man had that same type of humor, he would be considered.
