The Joan Rivers Show is an American first-run syndicated talk show that was hosted by Joan Rivers. The show ran for four seasons, from September 5, 1989, to December 26, 1993.

History

[edit]

The show aired for five seasons and ended in December 1993.[1][2] The show was nominated for numerous Emmy Awards, with Rivers winning the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host in 1990.[3][4] The series was produced by PGHM Productions, Joan Rivers's production company, in association with Tribune Entertainment, and distributed by Paramount Domestic Television for its first season and Tribune Entertainment for its final three seasons.

In the mid-1990s the show was repeated on E! for several months. Repeats aired on the Decades TV network from January to August 2019, and as of January 2021, 128 episodes were available for free streaming on the Vidmark app, and the Roku Channel on the Roku store.

Rivers had previously hosted a late-night talk show entitled The Late Show with Joan Rivers, which dropped her as the host in May 1987.[5]
