Joan Rivers Returns to The Tonight Show

The look of panic on Jimmy’s face after every one of her jokes kills me 😂

joan's very first joke after waiting 50 years to come back on this show was a nazi joke. i love this woman.

One of the most brutal comics ever, she could make any audience gasp in disbelief. I put her in the top 5 greatest ever, nothing short of brilliant. Miss her!!

Jimmy kept cutting her off outta fear she’d say something out of line. Didn’t work lol

It still doesn't feel like she's died. I still keep thinking she'll turn up in a new interview or something. It's bizarre.

I so wish Joan was alive for Caitlyn's reveal 😭😭😭

You are terribly missed, Joan! Phenomenal talent without compare.

There’s just something about Joan that no other comedian has ever had! When I’m feeling down, I watch her interviews or stand up… absolutely hysterical! Her timing, her approach, just the way she pieces the jokes together…. Nothing short of phenomenal. As much as I absolutely love her, I don’t think her comedy would survive in todays society. But Joan took everything that was supposed to hold her back… being a female comedian, aging, being banned from NBC… and absolutely destroyed it and rose above it, becoming a legendary, iconic comedian who’s legacy still lives on nearly an entire decade after her death. I truly admire and love her!

I respect Jimmy Fallon for inviting Joan onto his show. She seemed genuinely touched by the invitation and really happy to be there. We were all witness to a very special moment in her life. RIP Joan!

There is no line that lady is unwilling to cross!

"I spoke to Bruce Jenner and hers in fine" 😭😂 rip we miss you

She was always so well put together... the hair, make-up, jewellery, the outfit... flawless!!

Joan Rivers took comedy where no woman was supposed to go. Joan's fearlessness should be an inspiration to us all!

Can't believe she was 81.

Jimmy is a class act for having Joan back on the show after 28 years! I miss her!

She died and now everybody gets offended about anything What a shame

Joan SLAYED it coming back, she had the audience in tears. I was there at this taping. Jimmy, the Roots and Russell were laughing their asses of. This is what she does, she just owns the room and one of the most LEGENDARY comic to ever grace the stage, and the ONLY woman to host/guest host the tonight show. If you don't like her, DON'T WATCH THE VID. Simple. 

i like how Russel Crowe is laughing his ass off

“The German killing Jewish and not able to fix a car” it’s just epic.

4:20 the "thank-you for asking" line is so awesome
