Normally, funerals are full of tears, Bible-reading, sniffles, and singing off-key. This wasn't so at Joan Rivers' funeral!
Joan Rivers' daughter, Melissa, asked shockjock Howard Stern to deliver the eulogy at Joan Rivers' funeral. Well, he didn't hold anything back.
He got up in front of everyone. Everyone looked at him with tears in their eyes, and the room was silent. Then Mr. Stern began his eulogy with the most hilarious statement:
Comedian Margaret Cho was at the funeral and had this to say about that moment:"Joan Rivers had a dry pussy."
For those of you who are fans of Joan, you will recognize the 'dry pussy' remark from when she was on Jimmy Fallon's late night show in March."In the morose silence Howard Stern said, "Joan Rivers had a dry pussy."
At first, the words just hung there, as no one knew exactly what to do. Of course I started laughing hysterically, and everyone else, remembering who we were there to honor, followed suit. Howard Stern actually choked back tears as he continued – "Joan's pussy was so dry it was like a sponge – so that when she got in the bathtub – whooooosh – all the water would get absorbed in there! Joan said that if Whitney Houston had as dry a pussy as Joan's, she would still be alive today…""It was so wrong but so right at the same time. So Joan. So great."
I was not the biggest fan of Joan's, but I certainly appreciated her comedy. I have the deepest respect for people who say what they want without caring what anyone else thinks. Not many people have that type of fearlessness.
As for Howard Stern's eulogy, it was perfect. I think if Joan was at the funeral, she would be laughing hysterically. Joan Rivers doesn't peg me as the type of person who would want people crying over her death. She would want people to remember the legacy she left. She would want people to watch her comedy and laugh their asses off. She would want people to emulate the bond she had with her daughter.
Joan, wherever you are, your legacy will live on. RIP Joan Rivers!
