And in her comeback, the comedian didn't play it [00:10] safe. They sent this big stretch Mercedes limo for us and it [00:14] got stuck and I'm thinking you know the Germans killed 6 [00:17] million Jews. You can't even fix a [ NOISE ] carborator? [00:19] [ LAUGH ] Welcome back to the network Joan. [00:23] Yes. Typical Joan. Rivers made a brief appearance [00:28] on Jimmy Fallon's debut back in February, but this was her [00:31] first down interview since Johnny Carson banned her [00:35] decades ago. Jay Leno stuck to the ban, but Jimmy is [00:39] moving on. And, Rivers thanked the new host for bringing [00:42] her back. She used to be a regular and credits Carson for [00:46] helping her make it big, but the two had a falling out in the [00:49] 80s when she got her own late night show. On her [00:52] YouTube channel, the 80 year old spoke about coming [00:55] back on Fallon's debut. It was such a moment for me and it [00:59] was 46 years to the time I'd first come on the show. Oh my [01:02] gosh. By mistake. Oh my gosh. Isn't that great? That's [01:05] incredible. February 17th, someone tells me, you know, it's [01:06] 46 years to the day you first were on the show. Well, you're [01:09] back, Joan, in a big way. Thanks for watching. I'm Lauren [01:13] Zima. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Joan Rivers Returns To 'Tonight Show' For First Interview In 26 Years","description":"The comedienne sat down as a guest on the late-night show for the first time since Johnny Carson banned her decades ago.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/pfMm7lXs/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-03-28T11:32:47.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/pfMm7lXs.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/pfMm7lXs/","duration":"PT1M14S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/pfMm7lXs/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
