So when I came out of the closet, it wasn't a shock.

I know.

But I always remember my poor rabbi, because I really resisted going to Hebrew school, sorry.

And I told my rabbi, a very nice man, Rabbi Shlomo Blickstein, that was really his name, at the Regal Park Jewish Center, I said, I don't believe in God, I believe in Madonna.

But he was okay with it.

He understood.

He was like, hey, I get it.

Yes.

No.

And, you know, again, the book gave me an opportunity.

I never had a proper format to tell my Joan Rivers stories.

And people don't... Unless you've been really following me closely and you've watched, like, every talk show appearance.

Maybe I've mentioned it occasionally.

But, like...

So when my live show in New York starts taking off in 2006, 2005, 2006, Bravo had just done the first Queer Eye, the first one.

And so they were looking for, I guess, a way to build off of that.

And so they did a pilot.

My first big TV job was a pilot for Bravo in 2006, and they were trying to do their own version of The View.

but instead of Barbara Walters and four different types of women, it was going to be Joan Rivers and four different types of gay men.

And my joke was always like, well, there aren't four different types of gay men.
