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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Hass To: tvornottv@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, September 05, 2014 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [TV orNotTV] Rivers Late Night Requiem
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.
