Can we talk? Jimmy Fallon and more late-night hosts pay tribute to Joan Rivers

(Today) Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman were among the many late-night luminaries to pay tribute Thursday night to Joan Rivers, who died earlier that day. The hosts recalled the comedian and TV star as “one of the classiest acts” and “hilarious” and “the nicest person in the world.” – Jimmy Fallon

On The Tonight Show, which Rivers guest-hosted while Johnny Carson was on vacation in the mid-80s, Fallon remembered the fearless comedian as one of the funniest people in the world, ever.

He added, She would come out and just say what you were thinking, but you wouldnt say it. You would stop, but she wouldnt stop; she would just say it. And a lot of people thought her humor was mean, but she just did it because she wanted to make people laugh. Thats the goal. And she could take a joke just as easily as she could dish it out. One of the classiest acts. Love her so much. Class act all the way.
