    It's SO GREAT to hear the incredible Joan Rivers acknowledge her own brilliance. She's 1000% correct - she was, is and always will be funnier than anyone other comic. She was the best of the best and that will never change because she was an absolutely brilliant woman who could turn anything into an unforgettable joke. The world still missed her amazing humor but her honesty and sweetness as well.

    People mistaken Joan’s stage persona for her real personality. A comedian always has a facade, it’s required. A comedian must be bigger than life because no one wants to pay to see normalcy.
    Joan played her part brilliantly. Crass, rude, unfiltered. Off the stage, everyone knew her as the best person. She gifted her team expensive necklaces (a story told to reporters by her assistants) and was always giving gifts.
    Her act calls Lucille many names and made fun of her appearance. Off stage, she loves Lucille. Yet, people only know her for being spiteful and rude. They don’t mention her business acumen and love for her fellow female comics and performers.
    Legend.

    I firmly believe there is huge difference between confidence and conceit, but only a fine line that separates them. What she says there is the pure confidence of an artist who knows their craft with flawless accuracy. Clearly, she knows where the line is.

    I got to meet Joan. Kind. Smart. Hard-working. Then hilariously funny.
