R.I.P. Joan Rivers

Today, the world lost one of the icons of modern comedy, and one of the most influential comediennes of all time. Joan Rivers may have been as equally famous for her extensive plastic surgeries, but she undoubtedly had an immense effect on modern pop culture. Funny enough, I always confused her for Phyllis Diller (another famous comedienne who passed away in 2012). Her tragic death during a complicated surgery today leaves her daughter Melissa Rivers without a mother, so I give her my condolences. We will never forget her signature comedy style, sharp wit, and even her jabs at herself.
