You may not be seeing Joan Rivers on the red carpet at the Emmys this year, but those craving more of the perpetually redecorated comic can turn to the most unlikely of cable sources. Rivers has joined Court TV’s “Hollywood Heat.”
Rivers made her first appearance on the A.J. Hammer-hosted celebrity newsmagazine Thursday.
She will contribute a segment titled “Joan Rivers–The Dismissed Juror,” taking to the streets to poll common folks about their feelings on the various celebrity trials of the moment. Early this summer, Rivers packed up daughter Melissa and fled E! for the more lucrative climate of the TV Guide Channel. But Rivers could be trapped watching the dresses and tuxes on the Emmy red carpet on television like the rest of us: E! has an exclusive deal as the only cable network allowed on the carpet.
“Hollywood Heat” airs at 10:30 p.m., Thursday on Court TV.
