I enjoyed her in small doses. Most of all, I remember how much my mother loved her. Mom was a dear, sweet, and busy wife and mother and didn't laugh a lot. She loved JR though, and I used to stay up to watch the Tonight Show with Mom when she was guest hosting just to watch her laugh. RIP.

There is an amazing documentary that came out about her a couple of years ago.
Well worth watching.

Saw the documentary.

It's hard to believe she's so suddenly gone.

It's a shame that she turned so hateful in her old age.

I'm really going to miss her and her comedy.

It was a surprisingly great documentary. This really was the hardest working woman in show business; she did anything to keep working. Filthy, snarky, hysterically funny (sometimes you felt bad for laughing, but couldn't help it: no one, including herself was spared). I hope she'll continue to make 'em gasp and laugh out there in the great beyond.

I loved her stand-up...she was a trailblazer. RIP Joan

I knew this was coming-there was a blind item on Blind Gossip that her daughter Melissa was going to take her off Life Support today.

when she was still on life support in the private room, seemed like they were just going to let her go peacefully.

But he died while still on LS.

happened with a friend of mine a few years back...kept onlife support hoping he woul start breathing again on his own..never did so his partner made the decision...it's never easy.

I'm sure it would be absolutely tasteless and funny as hell.

Still a huge trail-blazer for women...

Too mean and classless.

The obituaries coming in for the next few days will be noticeably lacking

the one word that surrounded Robin Williams after his recent death and that

is "beloved".

Tupperware.

Can't say she couldn't laugh at herself!

Cross gently, Joan...

burning all that plastic can't be good for the environment. hahahahahahahahaha

j/k Don't hate people, I'm sure Joan would approve of the joke (though I admit it wasn't up to her level)

RIP to a true original! Her humor will be sorely missed!
