There are many unfunny aspects of Whom You Know and we'll never tell you about them.
However, THE FUNNIEST moments of Whom You Know were at The Plaza Hotel on November 10, 2009 when Joan Rivers was the auctioneer at The Lighthouse International Gala:
Peachy Deegan never laughed harder before or since.
Previously, Joan was featured:
Joan Rivers Confidential is a priceless tribute to a woman of phenomenal talent who stopped at nothing to achieve excellence in comedy and life. We remember Joan Rivers as the woman who was so lucky to work with Miss Piggy at Bergdorf Goodman at the makeup counter. Peachy has not been alive long enough to have an appreciation for Joan's ascent up the corporate ladder of entertainment and you will get a real sense of her drive, discipline and organizational skills in this book and what it took over time for her to be successful. We applaud Melissa and her team for the tremendous amount of work it must have been to go through everything Joan ever owned to pick the greatest moments!
Turning the pages Joan Rivers Confidential is a treasure trove; every page is testament to the legendary status she achieved, and notable for the path it took to get there. The quotes, the stories, the typed index cards, and the brilliant photography is absolutely wonderful. Her pure wit, her tremendous intelligence, her pioneering ambition and her fabulous ability to get on top, fall down and get on top again and ultimately stay on top are the hallmark of a winner. We hope she's reading up there...
Joan Rivers Confidential has earned Whom You Know's Highest Recommendation.
We were there outside her funeral, and we share these videos as they have been quite popular:

Joan Rivers is an enduring icon of the 20th century, and her wildly popular humor has appealed to generations of fans. With a career that began in the late 1950s, Joan kept mementos over the course of her entire working life, and Joan Rivers Confidential (Abrams; October 24, 2017 Hardcover with jacket) is a compilation of never-before-seen personal archives.
Assembled by her daughter Melissa with Scott Currie, the book contains scripts and monologues, letters from famous friends, exchanges with fans, rare photographs, as well as classic and never-before-heard jokes—many simply scribbled on everything from hotel stationery to airplane boarding passes. Touching on subjects from her 50 years in show business (The Tonight Show, Las Vegas, Elizabeth Taylor, Heidi Abromowitz, the red carpet, and Fashion Police), this is a revelatory and humor-filled insider look at the popular, multitalented comedian.
