A live interview with Joan Rivers went horribly wrong on "Good Day Sacramento" this morning -- after a reporter pissed off the comic so much, that she killed the segment and dropped the F-Bomb on LIVE TV!!

It all went down after one of the reporters tried to crack a joke about Joan's daughter -- but Rivers wasn't laughing.

Instead, she cussed the guy out until the people at the show cut off her mic ... too little too late.

1. Kinda looks like one of her faces is coming off in that pic

:scared:

The local talent always thinks they can yuck it up with the pros. Hey, rube - your job is to be the straight man and let the professional get the laughs.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

2. I'm guessing that morning team walked in and asked "who are we interviewing today"...

...and then someone replied "Joan Rivers" and one or more of them responded "You've got to be KIDDING me."

It's interesting that Rivers, who never hesitates for a moment to take a cheap shot at anyone, living or dead (witness her recent Michael Jackson & Johnny Carson remarks) got so incensed over something so true, which is that without her coattails, daughter Melissa would be on the other side of the red carpet's velvet rope. That young lady didn't achieve anything as the result of "talent."

6. She can dish it out but she can't take it

Truth hurts Joanie, suck it up!

[LittleClarkie]

8. Maybe she can take it when it's about HER

Just not when it's about her kid.

So who WOULDN'T defend their kid. What's so surprising?

[jobycom]

3. Meh. She took it easy on them.

What's she supposed to do, say "Yeah, my daughter is talentless and is riding my coattails--sorry, Honey?" Of course she's going to make the footage unusable.

4. She's a fucking national treasure.

Good for you Joan, don't play by those assholes' rules.

[Captain Hilts]

5. You're allowed to say anything if you're defending your spouse, child, goalie or quarterback.

Even Rivers.

7. She hasn't been funny since 1975.

And even then it was borderline. Now she's as funny as a fire at an orphanage.

[Startup]

9. Hey...

There have been some pretty funny Orphanage Fires... I remember one in '86 that was a hoot.

[mix]

11. Who else breaks up middle brow interviews with profanity and derision?

joan and the pistols, no one else

that was actually really cold what that tv dude said to her, she's had a rough time with her family anyways

[BuelahWitch]

12. I didn't think it was that cold

"Hey, how did you get so rich?" "By riding on my Mom's coattails!" "Hey Melissa, this is MY show!"
That was the whole thing, not so bad really. Nothing like the nasty things she says about other people.

[alphafemale]

23. yep

But she'd make fun of the orphans' sense of style as they were running from the building.

[alphafemale]

10. She hasn't been funny since she became one of the people she used to make fun of.

Yeah. I just ended a sentence in a proposition.

And Joan Rivers funniness and relevance ended somewhere around the time of the emergence of transistors.

She once upon a time had some biting social commentary.

She's now a vapid, bitter, old woman with a stretched-tight face and the gig of making surly comments about people going to a party which she's not invited to.

Yeah. I just ended that sentence in a proposition too.

Fuck the grammar police.

[Forkboy]

13. Your post is funnier than anything she's done in 3 decades.

:rofl:

[snooper2]

20. agreed!

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

17. Please don't proposition me with prepositions!

:D

:hi:

[Fleshdancer]

14. Don't go after her kid

She makes fun of herself ALL the damn time so she obviously doesn't take herself too seriously. As a general rule however, don't go after someone's kid and expect to have that person laugh along. This isn't rocket science.

[dugaresa]

18. I have to agree, if he had made a joke about her plastic surgeries

she would have one-upped him, and been quite funny, but she is known to be protective of her daughter.

[nuxvomica]

15. The "joke" was mean and not even funny.

I think her reaction was understandable.

[Arkana]

16. Then she's in real trouble when it comes time for her Comedy Central Roast

on August 9.

[snooper2]

21. She's going to have to get some thicker skin

:rofl:

[Taverner]

19. Leave my Melissa Alone!

She's my celeb crush, dammit!!!!

[chrisa]

22. Dried up has-been.

Quite possibly the only person worse than Corey Feldman.

[Lil Missy]

24. marked for later
