Comedian, TV host and CEO Joan Rivers is an icon of American culture. She is a bestselling author, Emmy Award-winning talk show host, Tony-nominated actress, Celebrity Apprentice winner, writer, director, and savvy businesswoman who has overcome great odds to reinvent herself and her career time and time again.
Rivers performs her trademark stand-up comedy act in front of sold-out audiences in the U.S. and abroad, and as a speaker, Rivers gives audiences a frank, touching and hilarious look at her life and the challenges she has met during almost 50 years in show business.
Rivers hosted The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers, the Emmy Award winning Joan Rivers Show, and went on to co-host Joan and Melissa: Live From The Red Carpet. In 2010 she returned to host E!’s Fashion Police red carpet award show specials, now a weekly series. She’s the host of the reality TV series, How’d You Get So Rich, which just ended its second season, and is currently in production on another reality show tentatively titled Mother Knows Best for WE tv. Her autobiographical play, The Joan Rivers Theatre Project: A Work in Progress by a Life in Progress, had a successful run in the US and the UK, and in June 2010, a revealing documentary, Joan Rivers – A Piece of Work opened in theaters nationwide.
Author of the bestsellers Bouncing Back and Still Talking, last year Rivers released her ninth and tenth books, Murder at the Academy Awards and Men Are Stupid...And They Like Big Boobs. Rivers is also CEO of the thriving international enterprise Joan Rivers Worldwide, which produces some of QVC’s most successful brands – last year Rivers used her business expertise to win the 2009 season of The Celebrity Apprentice.
At an age when many entertainers are rendered irrelevant by trends or tabloid scrutiny, Rivers continues to beat the odds and is enjoying more success than ever.
