THE HALL podcast series for “Netflix is a Joke” is delving deep into the lives and careers of the greats of Stand-Up Comedy. This second episode of THE HALL looks at Joan Rivers who is appropriately described as “fucking funny” by one interviewee. On this episode, host Cristela Alonzo talks to so many of Rivers’ friends and colleagues to honor the trailblazing comedian. From Rivers’ early years experimenting with Stand Up in New York City’s Greenwich Village to her comeback after professional and personal setbacks after getting banished from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Rivers was rarely afraid to offend, she took on sensitive topics and hecklers alike. There aren’t many examples of comedians who, on the day they die, are the most popular they have ever been. To honor Rivers, we speak to Susie Essman, Ellie Kemper, Aisha Tyler, Sherri Shepherd, Mario Cantone, her daughter Melissa Rivers, and more.
