That Aaron Solomon also led (IIRC) a writers strike against Fremantle
Media saying game show reality writes should be acknowledged, and
paid, as such.
Altho, given how my brain is working, that night be wrong too.
Nah, I think that's right. At least it sounds familiar.

Rolling Stone provides clips of Dave,, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart, Craig
Ferguson and Seth Meyers remembering Joan Rivers last night, and describes
what Jimmy Fallon had to say:

As usual, I like Dave's the best, though this is not really the same kind
of national or at least pop-cultural tragedy we had been talking about in
reference to the death of Robin Williams. Still, what I liked about Dave
last night was how he found just about the right note in which to talk

I was a member of Aaron Solomon's Late Show News (and the ol Top 5

weighed in on Letterman's retirement.
And how about any of the alt.fan.letterman'ers?
Anyone know if Johnny banned guests from The Tonight Show if they went on
Joan’s Fox show?
The question has come up in another discussion I’m having. It’s a rumor
that’s new to me.

I have a vague memory of that, but not to the point where I'd say Yeah,
that's true.

I disagree. Robin Williams was a peer to Dave. Robin Williams was *younger*
than Dave. Rivers didn't have that much of a connection with Dave in terms
of career paths, especially in her later years. I would have been very
surprised if Dave did 10 minutes on Rivers.

Sure that also came into play. (I did say due PARTLY to the fact...) But
the reaction of most people I know when Rivers was rushed to the hospital was
that it was all over for her whereas
their reaction to Williams' death was shock and surprise because it seemed to
come out of nowhere.
My apologies for skipping over that word. You're right: it does make a
difference (though I was a little surprised at Rivers' death mostly because
the implication I drew from my limited awareness was that she was
stabilized.
