Joan Rivers is the only multi-millionaire who can admit she got a reality TV show out of moving cross-country to live with her millionaire daughter, and still leave you laughing about the absurdity of it all.

But that’s the 77-year-old showbiz icon’s stock in trade: from her award-winning, emotionally raw documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, to the exhaustive amount of standup gigs she insists on booking every year. For more than five decades, Joan Alexandra Molinsky Sanger Rosenberg has mined the most painful moments of her life and turned them into entertainment, making herself bulletproof to shame or criticism in the process.

JOAN RIVERS audio excerpt: “Somebody high up (at Fox) was really an asshole.”

Fans can see her take it to another level, documenting the process of leaving her beloved New York for life in Los Angeles with daughter and longtime TV partner Melissa Rivers for the WE cable channel show Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best? The show was recently renewed for a second season.

My conversation with her started on a familiar note: The controversy kicked off when the Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends morning show dumped her as a guest after she criticized conservative hero Sarah Palin (one of the show’s producers has since said it was a mistake and she should have been rescheduled; cynics smell a publicity stunt coming a mile away).
