Lisa Rinna is a mean woman, and I find nothing about her personality attractive. Why would they have her do red carpet interviews? No one will want to speak with her!
I protest this decision, and I hope that Joan finds another channel to do interviews for.

Joan Rivers is a nasty senile old bat. I'd say good riddance, but I haven't had to see her since she was tossed off E. What the heck is the TV Guide Channel? (Comcast doesn't carry it).

Uh, let's see....who gets rid of Joan Rivers??? Johnny Carson got rid of her, E! got rid of her, and now TV Guide. I would say that she has a history of getting canned. I can't stand the way she critiques actress' bodies and think she contributes to the problem of the thin obsessed in this country. I think that taking away that annoying, demeaning attitude so that we don't have to listen to it is the best thing I have heard about in a long time. I would much rather hear red carpet critiques from people who might actually know what they are talking about - Robert Verde, and the "Jays" from Top Model - they are much more entertaining and less down right mean. Looking forward to Lisa Rinna.

I think Joan Rivers is one of the most talented comedians around yesterday/today and tomorrow. I just never liked her at the awards shows. Come back to the comedy work Joan. You are best suited for that.

Joan Rivers is the best person on the red carpet. She was FUNNY, the thin obsessed, gown obsessed old bat was her joking. If anyone watched it they would have known it with just the simple fact of how much fun she makes of herself doing it. She's the only reason I watched red carpet shows, and I'm more peeved that TVG got rid of her, she actually brought their red carpet show to something recognizeable.

I also loved Joan and truly do miss her in her element. I always have thought that the "red carpet" Joan was a character and was so over the top, who could really believe she was serious. Shame on TV Guide for firing her! I don't even watch the red carpet anymore!
