It all went down after one of the reporters tried to crack a joke about Joan's daughter -- but Rivers wasn't laughing.
Instead, she cussed the guy out until the people at the show cut off her mic ... too little too late.

I can understand coming to your daughter's defense. However....what he said should not, by any standard, have caused a comic of Joan Rivers' status to utter such a rebuttal. She was dead-wrong and out of line here.
Joans kid is a loser and deserves to be put down. Melissa's a spoiled rotten brat living off her mom's coattails. And why can Joan make fun of everyone else but someone makes a joke about her precious ugly daughter and she spews profanities during an interview. I could not hate her more.
Wow, PolarBear...Join the rest of us on Planet Earth! I was going to comment on the relevant topic of Joan, but when I read your comment, nothing Joan says comes close to what you wrote!
WHY do people even bother with her......she is gross, and I'm super surprised her face has not split in half....just how much more can a person stretch out their face?! EW.
Good for Joan.. She may have had that coming, but not from this hack. At her age what does she care anyway. She rips on herself, her plastic surgeries, her old age, more than anyone.
The reporter was just telling the truth! Joan and Melissa Rivers are FREAKS! She can dish it out but can't take it.
Joan can't take it when people tell the truth about her ugly daughter. She is always nasty and rude to others, but take it.... spare me. Her daughter is unattractive and has zero talent or personality and she has ridden cat woman's coat tails.
Wow, truth hurts, and hits a nerve. Time for Joan to go to the "celebrity has been home" There are not many people left that care to hear you anymore.........Your foul mouth was tiresome 20 years ago
Joan was on there doing promo work for her new show. Then, she was personally attacked by the idiot co-anchor. Why would she stand for that kind of treatment? She is the comedian, NOT him and there was no call for a so-called "joke" by him at the expense of her daughter. Actually, her daughter is a very talented producer, writer. Does she have a parent in the business? Of course. But, let's not forget all of the other actors that have their kids following in their footsteps and there are too many to even name here! As for the F-Bomb, well, that's what you get for pissing off Joan Rivers.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE REASON THIS NASTY WITCH'S HUSBAND COMMITTED SUICIDE IS BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY WAY HE COULD GET AWAY FROM HER.. SHE CAN DISH IT OUT---BUT SHE CAN'T TAKE IT. AND SHE'S TRAINING THAT EQUALLY HIDEOUS, EQUALLY NO-TALENT DAUGHTER TO EMULATE HER. WHAT A DREADFUL PAIR.
He was telling the truth, that's why she got mad. She's a classless bitch with a talentless lump of a daughter who wouldn't even be able to get a waitress job it it weren't for her mother.. TRUE. But I guess she thought Michael Jackson's death was pretty funny, making a tastless "joke" a few days afterward. Joan...you are not funny anymore. Time to either get funny again, or join Edgar.
Response to LeeLee:
It's all on massive kettle of fish on this planet, so what I said and what Joan said and what the simpleton reporters said is all related. I was on topic the whole time. If Joan read it, she would know that and she'd know I applauded her not continuing with the dufus interview.
(A) Yes, Joan lost her cool, (B) Yes, the reporter made a stupid, lame joke (it wasn't even funny), (C) Any reporter who interviews Joan Rivers should know by now that her daughter is off limits. In conclusion, she could've handled it with grace, and she didn't, but the reporter is a bumbling idiot, if you ask me.
I wish she and her daughter would just go away. I'm sick of looking at both of those horse faces.
Joan just can't stand hearing the truth. That's a fact. Melissa is riding on her mother's coat-tail. As simple as that. Melissa is a not a talented girl at all.
Britney Spears might miss a lot more 'X Factor' auditions ... because she can! Simon Cowell gave Brit damn near free reign in order to sign the pop star to that $15 million deal -- but is it backfiring? We'll tell you what peeps on the set are saying.Plus, Chris Jericho's…
