Joan Rivers definitely has tested the limits of defamation laws throughout the years, so how will she react when the tables are turned? Here’s a preview from the red carpet for The Comedy Central Roast of Joan Rivers.
It’s hard to imagine that anything is off limits when it comes to Joan Rivers, but the looks of fear on Robin Quivers’ and Whitney Cummings’ faces say it all. Watch!
Kathy Griffin hosted last night’s taping of Comedy Central’s Roast of Joan Rivers, so Popsquire had to be there.

Both Whitney Cummings and Robin Quivers confirmed on the red carpet that jokes about Melissa Rivers were off limits, but that didn’t hinder the comedy. In addition to a handful of Michael Jackson jokes throughout the night, the roasters went for the jugular more times than Joan’s plastic surgeon.
Below is a fun preview, which (of course) includes legal references.
Robin Quivers:
“Joan, you’ve been called a bitch more times than a white guy serving a life sentence.”
Brad Garrett:
“Joan is so old, she’s f*cked more old Jews than Bernie Madoff.”
Kathy Griffin suggests that Joan release a sex tape. Then, she follows it up with:
“Sex tape is what Joan uses to prevent her vagina from sliding down her leg.”
Greg Giraldo:
“You used to look your age. Now you don’t even look your species.”
Jeff Ross:
“She’s so old that if you google her, she’s on craig’s and Schindler’s lists.”
The show airs August 9 on Comedy Central. Watch and laugh!
