Joan Melissa Joan Knows Best

Joan Rivers is used to handling a rough crowd, and on "Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best" (Tues., 9 p.m. EST on WE) she had to use all her experience in an inpromptu stand-up gig in Wyoming.

When a woman in the audience asked Joan where the fashion police were -- "we need them" -- Joan was unusually well, nice, in her initial response: "You don't need them. You look fine."

And then she killed the warm and fluffy mood by adding, "... for where you are." Cue awkward silence and hurt looks. Ever the pro, Joan managed to turn things around and have the crowd laughing about it in the end.

Later, a guy asked her if she'd had even more facelifts and Joan quipped, "I have had 106 facelifts. I have kept all my extra skin and I made a little person and it walks right beside me."

When a woman complimented her fashion designs, Joan joked about how great it was having the garments made by children. "You get your money's worth. There's no union and then when they grow to a certain age we sell them to Angelina Jolie."

"Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best" airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on WE.

I've always thought Joan Rivers is a great comedian. It's especially nice for a select few like Joan as they get older their timing doesn't go.
