Joan Rivers Kicked Off TV Show!

Filed under: Anglophilia > Russell Crowe > Joan Rivers


Joan Rivers stunned TV audiences in Britain on Tuesday when she appeared on U.K. chat show Loose Women, think The View across the pond.

Well, the plastic surgery-loving comedienne dropped a few curse words when talking about Russell Crowe and everyone got their panties in a bunch.

Joan warned the show, "get ready to bleep," but the show is broadcast live.

The co-hosts immediately apologized for Rivers' little outburst and during the commercial break she was asked to leave the set and not invited to come back for her final segment.

A spokesperson for the show says, "Guests are always briefed that it is a live daytime show and are reminded not to swear or use inappropriate language. An editorial decision was taken that Joan Rivers should not appear in the final part of the programme. We would like to apologise to Loose Women viewers for the inappropriate language used on today's show."

Rivers, for her part, finds it all quite funny.

"I said: 'I apologise.' Everyone apologised. It was hilariously funny," she says.

Joan adds that this was the first time she had been removed from a TV show in 40 years and she was "thrilled".

    As much as I disagree with Russell's behaviours, I must say, in person he was quite charming. I got his autograph at Horton Plaza in San Diego. His wife wanted to strike me down but he was a peach. And as for Joan, girl…just blame it on the botox! Surely there are some side effects have injecting as much as you have! Smooches!

    LOL "Americans are prudes.", "Americans are so up tight.", " Americans are Bible thumpers.", "British people are progressive and laid back." and then Joan Rivers gets kicked off a British tv show for saying a couple dirty words.

    You gotta admire anyone who calls it as they see it and/or him. I like getting these little insights into the celebs personas. Just goes to show what you see on the big screen is an ACTOR, and an overrated one at that. Meg Ryan let this ass break up her marriage? WTF was she thinking? Good for you, Joan, tell it like it is.

    Re: Meg

    No it means the same thing and they do have a few whores on it, Denise something or other(don't know her last name) is a massive whore who has cheated plenty of times on her husband then there is Coleen Nolan who can't stop going on about her ex.

    But generally they are just a bunch of sexist miserable old cows, if men said the same things they do they would get knackered for it.

    You're right, language does adapt to culture, although the UK are hardly going to take the lead in the culture stakes from the States.

    Re: Laver

    It's because it's daytime tv and thats when the drunk middle class women are at home and in the UK middle class women really like to complain about everything and anything…But as soon as it hits 9pm all swearing apart from C.U.Next.Tuesday is allowed.

    Re: neva

    You can't make calls on grammar with the use of 'ppl'. Plus it's not bastardisation, I mean look at the French and the French Canadians they have some differences but they are both not wrong just different.

    Re: Aweso – Get our panties in a bunch over anything, how exactly? This is coming from the nation that went crazy when janet jackson flashed her nipple. When Miley Cyrus done some wierd photos. We have alot more swearing and sex etc on TV than u ever had. American celebrities cant believe how laid back the shows are and are always scared to swear on them cause there not allowed back home. This show was broadcast at 1:30pm, just a bit early for Joan maybe. Plus the title maybe a bit wierd but its a great show, and it doesnt mean there whores, it just means there free with there views and dont hold back

    God how ignorant are you americans
    "the brits always get out hand downs" yeah right… what language do you speak? who did the pop idol thing first? we did.

    as for the ignorance of the language… its astounding.

    and lets just say this… the british cencorship is sooo much better the the american, after nine we can say whatever the hell you like. when british people go on a show called jonathan ross they are usually shocked at what he can get away with.

    dont be so fucking up yourselves… every country has their ways and yes we are eccentric but at least we embrace it rather than trying out hardest ot be cultures when your entire history spans like 3 lifetimes

    Re: Laver – Actually, swearing is allowed on British tv after 9pm , when it's assumed a young audience won't be watching.

    The television regulatory body in charge of ensuring a standards of acceptable conduct are maintained during pre watershed (after 4am and before 9pm) hours will probably fine itv heavily for Joan's out burst. , she apparently was briefed fully prior to appearing on the show that it was live and swearing is not permitted on pre-watershed tv.

    If she'd pulled something like that on American broadcast network tv( she probably knows better) there would have been an uproar and she'd probably be black listed as a live guest on any network..

    So no , not prudes..but there is a time and a place for everything..

    I personally found her outburst to be a refreshing jolt to the otherwise fairly benign but entertaining proceedings that is “the view uk…

    Re: honey

    Loose women is not anything like the View.

    When they have a gues ton they suck up to them and the guest is usually a big brother contestant where as the View gets proper stars on.

    Re: samUk – Sam it isnt that bad though really is it. Its a good show, something you watch at lunch time and just laugh at them. Some might be whores but at least there funny whores, like when Coleen and Denise get started there great. I haven't watched the View but i cant see it been amazingly better than our version. Maybe they get bigger A'List stars but we get alot of British talent, and b4 some american picks up and says there isnt any, there is lol. Plus i think the ladies were fine with Joan, they laughed it off, they obviously found it amusing, just not the producers
