Melissa Rivers and others on Friday will pay poignant tributes to the late Joan Rivers, on “Celebrating Joan,” a 90-minute Fashion Police tribute to the late comedy icon.
In a special preview clip, Melissa stands by her mother’s former post on the E! show and proclaims, "This chair was the place where a woman spoke the truth about celebs and fashion and did it in a way that was hilarious and also 100 percent original."
"Tonight we want to say goodbye the only way my mother would want us to be remembered: the jokes, the unbelievable guests and all the moments on set and behind the scenes that made Fashion Police must-see television around the globe.”
Melissa said the tribute was designed to have viewers doing what her ”mom loved to do most — laugh."
Jennifer Lopez, whose daring fashions often gave Joan plenty of material to riff off of, called the late comic “one of those special forces of life in this world.
