Comedian, TV host, and CEO, Joan Rivers is an American comedy icon. A bestselling author, Emmy award-winning talk show host, Tony-nominated actress, Celebrity Apprentice winner, writer, director, and savvy businesswoman, she has overcome great odds to reinvent herself and her career time and time again.

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. Her autobiographical play, The Joan Rivers Theatre Project: A Work in Progress by a Life in Progress, had a successful run in the U.S. and the U.K., and she is 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. A documentary, Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, was released to great acclaim in 2010.

And, of course, Rivers performs her trademark stand-up comedy act in front of sold-out audiences in the U.S. and abroad.
