About this episode

Kelli and Troy explore the tumultuous feud between Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers.

This week, Kelli and Troy are diving into one of late night television’s messiest feuds, Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers. After Johnny helped launch Joan’s career, she eventually became his permanent guest host on The Tonight Show. But when Joan left NBC for her own show on Fox, everything fell apart. From blacklisting allegations to Joan’s attempts to reconcile, Kelli and Troy look back at the feud that lasted until Johnny’s death.
