NBC celebrates iconic comedian Joan Rivers with “Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute” special on Tuesday, May 13 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Marking 10 years since River’s death, the all-star comedy special will feature today’s biggest comedians paying homage to Rivers’ razor-sharp humor and impact on pop culture. The special was filmed at the Apollo Theater in Harlmen.

An extended and uncensored version of “Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute” will debut on Peacock on May 14 and will feature additional comics, who will be announced later.

The special will feature Rachel Brosnahan, Margaret Cho, Nikki Glaser, Tiffany Haddish, Chelsea Handler, Neil Patrick Harris, Bill Maher, Howie Mandel, Joel McHale, Tracy Morgan, Patton Oswalt, Aubrey Plaza, Sarah Silverman, Melissa Rivers, Jean Smart and Rita Wilson.

Rivers’ rise to fame began in the 1960s when she made her television debut on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” Her unique brand of humor, which often pushed societal boundaries and tackled taboo topics, quickly gained national attention. In the early ’70s, Rivers was a regular on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” on NBC, where she became one of the few women in the late-night television scene. Her sharp, clever banter with Carson made her a household name. Rivers guest-hosted nearly 200 episodes.
