Rami, thank you for your kind words. Joan and I were friends for many years. I loved being with her. If you can, please follow me @realbillboggs on Instagram.
Love Joan, (R.I.IP), and Mr. Boggs, you are missed on the telly'. Watching this and some of your earlier shows, (ie: Peter Allen), reminds cf of my late teens and early 20's ENJOYING life and a time when one thinks this is all "forever". You should have been a national name, Mr. Boggs, but I'm glad you kept yourself so "East Coast". Gosh, Channel 5 midday was your time slot and if I recall correctly, you would pop up on the 10 PM news with entertainment reports, (ugh, Stewart Klein & his "humorous" film reviews!). This segment with Joan looks to be early 90's, but I checked out your net' channel, and you still look great in your very recent pieces. Prosper always and much health to you alway, Mr. Boggs. You really have made me happy, reminding me of simpler, more hopeful times. Thank you again!
This has be done in the 90s Le Cirque hasn't been the "IT" place in NYC for years plus Jacques Torres left as pastry chef in 1999. If you also notice this was also when Barney's was dressing her. She looks so chic in this outfit. When Barney's was dressing her during The Joan Rivers Show days was when she looked the MOST amazing. No more big hair and puffy gowns.
I remember watching this years ago and her tips on silverware placement always stuck with me and I employ them till this day. I miss her humor so much. Rest in peace, funny lady. :)
She cracks jokes but does not lose her humanity - always grateful and optimistic - life is a ride and laugh - it takes away the parts of life that are difficult and or cant change .
It`s incredible and funny at the same time , just how high class, beautiful and well behaved, Joan was in every aspect of her life, and she combined that with such mastery
What I find refreshing is that she never, ever stopped being grateful for the good things life (and her hard work) had delivered to her. Every time she put on jewellery, every time she got in a limo, every time she was recognized in public, she gleamed like it was the first time. It never grew old.
Le Cirque is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the world. Celebrity or person off the street, everybody is treated like royalty. It's WILDLY expensive, but it should be on everybody's bucket list.
Joan Rivers was such a classic woman. Orin Lehman was an idiot to change her for tha Monique. He was 13 years older than Joan. She adore him even though he was disable.
people shrink as they age. the vertrebae sink to their own weight and get tigher, causing the height to diminish. for some people, it's more radical than for others.
@@Billboggs great interview! I figured no earlier than that bc the Lincoln limo you were in was released starting in ‘98. So interesting that she said her first facelift was at 48, and then told Regis and Kelly in the 2000s that it was at 38. I wonder which is true!
@@MikeA1 I knew her when she was 38 and do not think she had work done then. Thanks for kind words, Mike. If you are on tnstagram pls follow me @realbillboggs
It’s interesting to consider the possible reasons why Joan was obsessed with looks, clothes, appearances and what she deemed as the embodiment of “class,” right down to learning the table etiquette of high society. Joan wasn’t one of the pretty, refined, gentile girls of the “elite” class who she observed in the world beyond her circle. She tried to acquire those traits through plastic surgery and by surrounding herself with things she thought gave her “class” - designer clothes, fine jewelry, expensive art objects, interiors, even knowing how to use the correct utensils. One can see how seriously she took it, how she scrutinized and judged every aspect of someone’s appearance, dress and lifestyle. Notice how she assessed the man on this show, down to the length of his shirt cuff peeking out of the sleeve of the jacket. In public, her role as a style critic was reinforced by stints on “Fashion Police” and QVC. Her public mocking of those who were overweight, poorly dressed and who lacked style or “class” was expressed with jokes and outright criticism, but are we to believe it was all in good fun rather than a genuine expression of disdain? While there’s nothing wrong with striving to look one’s best, if a person is obsessed with the external it’s invariably due to low self-worth. Joan admitted to her fear of being overweight as she was in her youth, which is understandable, but it shouldn’t have given her a license to be cruel to others about their own weight struggles. I’m not an Oprah fan but when Joan was guest hosting “The Tonight Show” and told Oprah she had to lose weight, it was the antithesis of “class,” the very trait Joan strived to embody. The “class” that Joan famously cultivated was superficial, a veneer, which was demonstrated by another incident - her falling out with Johnny Carson. Some people didn’t understand why Johnny was so angered by what Joan did but others got it. In a classless, opportunistic way she seized a chance to advance her career. Of course she had every right to advance her career but it was the way she did it that lacked integrity and class. She disrespected the man who gave her the break that launched her career, who repeatedly boosted her, and who let her be his permanent guest host. More than anyone else, Johnny had “made it all possible,” as she herself admitted to his face and in a book dedication during that period. The lack of consideration, thoughtfulness and respect she showed in return was the antithesis of class. FOX desperately wanted her and therefore she was in the driver’s seat. If she had told FOX she had to run it by Johnny to give him the respect he was due, and to give him the chance to confer with his producers about a counter offer, they would have had no choice but to say okay. Then she would have been able to accept FOX knowing she’d done the right thing. Instead she succumbed to the opportunist, baser instincts of most people in Hollywood, known for their lack of loyalty and ingratitude to those who helped them when no one else would. Having observed the shadiness of Hollywood, I understood Johnny’s reaction. In a pinch, when push comes to shove, when it really matters, a classless person proves that all the money and etiquette lessons in the world cannot bestow true class upon someone who lacks it on the inside. Give me a friend, spouse or business associate who doesn’t know a ruby from a garnet, who eats with their elbows on the table, but whose inner class and character shine more brightly than solid gold or a flawless gem. Class is as class does.
#worstinterviewerEVER!! This guy is just so fake and too funny that Joan noted how you can tell how well-educated a person is by their table manners and he was totally clueless. Oh, how I laughed.
@@Billboggs Atta boy, Bill! Way to tell me-!! Boy, oh boy-and how profound! Special applause goes out to your copy editor (or obvious lack thereof!) Again, with the poorly-educated thing...😁
Joan Rivers was not only funny but extremely intelligent and honest.
Hollywood and the fashion industry owe a thank you and apology to Joan Rivers.
Something that Joan has that new comediennes don't have...CLASS.
right??? its not only aboout the act, she was her own character. Classy lifestyle
Bill - Do you feel like a White limo?
Joan - I feel like a slut
& intelligence
Exactly. Joan might tell a joke that you think dirty but IRL she is just like one of those classic celebrities from the 20s/30s
Yes! So true!
Joan was the best - there will never be another Joan.
Can we have more classy comedians like her?
Don't know what it is about Joan Rivers but I really like her a lot. I would've liked to known her in life.
She has one of those personalities that just suck you in.
this is such a nice rare interview since its Joan being Joan without the snarky jokes and all, but really just being serious and open about her life
I agree
You conducted such a wonderful interview. Thank you for sharing, Bill!
Rami, thank you for your kind words. Joan and I were friends for many years. I loved being with her. If you can, please follow me @realbillboggs on Instagram.
Interesting interview...very classy...she was one of a kind.....
I am so glad I grew up with
Joan Rivers
Don Rickles
Robin Williams
George Carlin
Richard Pryor
I had it all baby.
I think she was at her prettiest in the 90s
I agree. After this, she stopped looking like herself
Agree! 95 to 2000 the best!
The ‘70s -Women are often very lovey around 40, men, not without some work.
For the older she got the beautifull she become. Her botox works best for her
How interesting because in the 90's she was in her late 50s to early 60s!

I had the biggest crush on Joan Rivers, the greatest comedienne of modern times. Her death was so shocking. RIP Joan... Thank you for the laughs.
She cracks jokes but does not lose her humanity - always grateful and optimistic - life is a ride and laugh - it takes away the parts of life that are difficult and or cant change .
I like Joan's face at this time before she went overboard with plastic surgery
It`s incredible and funny at the same time , just how high class, beautiful and well behaved, Joan was in every aspect of her life, and she combined that with such mastery
The QUEEN of standup!
She always on point. SSSSOOOO CLASSY
the more i watch of joan rivers the more i admire, classy good looking woman
What I find refreshing is that she never, ever stopped being grateful for the good things life (and her hard work) had delivered to her. Every time she put on jewellery, every time she got in a limo, every time she was recognized in public, she gleamed like it was the first time. It never grew old.
BRAVO BILL!!!
The advice of the greatest Joan Rivers, has been a Godsend to me.
THANK YOU!!!
You look amazing.
Le Cirque is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the world. Celebrity or person off the street, everybody is treated like royalty. It's WILDLY expensive, but it should be on everybody's bucket list.
Classic Joan she looks good here.....
she looks amazing here so fashion forward and such a class act
Omg Joan is so beautiful her soul shines out from her and its beautiful scotland loves you Joan
Enjoyed this. Thanks.
I love her so much, she made me a happy teenager.
I think it was Netflix there’s a documentary of her and it’ll definitely change your outlook on her she was actually really cool old school style lady
Love her. Miss her.
I love her. We still pray for her.. Im sure shes making God laugh. She is with edger her husband and true love. God bless her. She is missed
watching this again I love this still can't believe she's gone
Joan Rivers was such a classic woman. Orin Lehman was an idiot to change her for tha Monique. He was 13 years older than Joan. She adore him even though he was disable.
In 2008 she was in London doing her autobiographical play. She did a meet and great. She was lovely. Xxxx
she changed her image so much. She actually looks older here than she did in 2013
people shrink as they age. the vertrebae sink to their own weight and get tigher, causing the height to diminish. for some people, it's more radical than for others.
I wish we could get her back
Love the way she mentions table manners and then shows that she needs to learn a few!
Haven't seen Boggs in Years...since hev2as on The Food Ch. in its infancy

Never get tired of watching this
Thank you, Brandon. Please follow me @realbillboggs on I G.

Long live freedom and democratic communism
I miss Joan
THIS IS 1999 ?????? SHE LOOKS LIKE HERSELF..............
Manners I never seen any just gossip and spit flying over the meal. Loved going to see Miss Joan Rivers in concert forever missed RIP.
Sad that's your view. It's 'saw' not 'seen'. She is such a class act and such a generous giving person.
is that the hotel from Gossip Girl?
Damn interviewer is one fine specimen!
I would love him to sit on my face.
When was this interview?
That was on my show about 1998 or so
there is another from a different show of mine also on my channel.
Warw, she was old school high class ♥️
Who's Bill Boggs? I thought he was one of the Cuomo brothers
I would have told the waiter about my elephant-sized dog that also loves chocolate. Cooked for a year ahead.
does anybody know what year is this interview from?
1998
Lol, who is this forgotten, stuffy queen? I love how they're talking about table manners and they're both talking and eating with their mouths open.
What year was this?
about 1998
Thanks for watching, Bill
@@Billboggs great interview! I figured no earlier than that bc the Lincoln limo you were in was released starting in ‘98. So interesting that she said her first facelift was at 48, and then told Regis and Kelly in the 2000s that it was at 38. I wonder which is true!

What restaurant is this? #sod
Turbo? *puts hand to face*
1999
had tv dinners even been invented when she was little?
The wine glasses are waaayyy to full.. #americanstyle
This guy is so pretentious
