Dammit all to HELL. I will miss the shit out of Joan Rivers. I've "known" her my entire life and I feel like we have lost a true female icon in comedy. She and Phyllis Diller (her mentor) can never, ever be replaced, and even Kathy Griffith (Joan was her mentor) would tell you that.
Funny, acidic, outrageous, filthy-mouthed, irreverent, vicious, hilarious and wonderful. I know I'm going to miss the shit out of her because there is only one Joan Rivers, and the world of comedy will never be the same again.
Joan, I raise my (albeit cheap) glass of wine to you, and I hope my mother ferrets you out because right now, she's probably the happiest person in...well, wherever y'all both are. Kiss her for me and give Robin a hug for me, while you're at it. You. Are. Very. Much. Missed.
Godspeed.
