An Inspiring Thought for Today...

Joan Rivers was the definition of multitalented. A comedian, Emmy winner, Grammy winner, Tony nominee, and television trailblazer, she became the first woman to host a late-night network talk show with 1986’s “The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers.” 

This quote isn’t just a mantra that Rivers preached but one she lived by. Her wit shined brightest while interviewing celebrities on the red carpet—even the biggest A-listers found themselves the subject of her biting humor, as she consistently prioritized being funny over being reverent. 

Rivers herself was the target of many quips, but rather than let it get her down, she once again embraced humor, with self-deprecating comments such as, “I’ve had so much plastic surgery, when I die, they will donate my body to Tupperware.” 

Rivers was an inspiration not only for comedians, but for all of us—a reminder to maintain a lighthearted attitude in our lives so long as we’re lucky to be here.
