Joan Rivers is a force of nature—and one of the hardest working celebrities in the world- comedienne, best-selling author, Tony-nominated actress, playwright, screenwriter, motion picture director, columnist, lecturer, syndicated radio host, Emmy Award-winning television talk-show host,jewelry designer, red-carpet fashion laureate, businesswoman and, most importantly to her, mother and grandmother.

The daughter of immigrant Russian parents, Joan created her own brand of irreverent, unconventional comedy to forge her remarkable rise to stardom in the entertainment world. Enduring humiliation and privation for nearly a decade playing tawdry clubs, Borscht Belt hotels, and Greenwich Village cabarets("I was insanely persistent," she says), Joan's career skyrocketed in 1965 when she appeared on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. Within three years she was hosting "That Show With Joan Rivers,"one of the first syndicated daytime shows, and went on to become the first sole guest host of "The Tonight Show." Her own "Late Show with Joan Rivers" was launched in 1986, and in 1989 she returned to TV with "The Joan Rivers Show," winning an Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host the following year-and her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

One of the most naturally style-savvy women on the planet, consistently appearing on Best Dressed lists around the world, Joan, along with daughter Melissa, hosted E!'s red-carpet events from 1996-2004 when they signed a long-term contract with the TV Guide Channel, where they will continue their "must see" red-carpet coverage as well as developing original programming and participating in the Channel's original specials and series

From her signature question, "Can we talk?" (officially a Federal trademark), to her red-carpet mantra, "Who are you wearing?", the woman who asks the questions gets the answers America…and the world…wants to hear.
