Joan Rivers passed away today at the age of 81 after suffering cardiac and respiratory arrest last Thursday during an outpatient procedure. Joan was a legend in many worlds, to many people, and for many reasons. She was an icon in the fashion world, the celebrity world, the gay community and of course in comedy. She was an inspiration to women and men and you will never be able to count the people who owe a debt of gratitude to the paths Joan created. She was strong and unflinching, and in an industry where fearlessness is a common trait, she out-ranked everyone around her when it came to being tough. And of course she was one of the funniest people on the planet- a true legend in the business.

Jeffrey Gurian is one of the most well known fixtures in the comedy world. You'll see him in clubs, at most comedy festivals, and at red carpets with a microphone in hand ready to interview his favorite comics. He's not a comedian (although he has performed stand up), and he doesn't work for a major television network. He isn't a super agent, or comedy club owner. Jeffrey isn't a 'power player' in the usual sense of the word. He hosts his interviews for his own self-produced YouTube Channel, Comedy Matters TV. So you might not expect him to be one of the most connected people in the world of comedy, and yet, he is.
