The Briefing with Jen Psaki · Jen Psaki in conversation with actor and author Billy Eichner · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

A problematic joke now, but it was funny 10 years ago.

And so they... And it was going to be primetime and a little raunchier because it was Joan.

And so I auditioned for it and I got it.

And Joan came to my live show, which was in a theater, a cabaret with like 40 seats in it.

And Joan Rivers walks in in like a fur coat and like dripping with jewels, you know.

Very Joan, always done up.

And she...

loved me and she really got me you know and she just saw something me so they cast me in the pilot and it's me and andy cohen before on the panel with joan and before andy had his own show and these two other guys and the pilot doesn't get picked up right it was called joan rivers straight talk haha and um you know bravo you know

Um, but Joan becomes like a real mentor of mine.

And like, she really like takes me under her wing to the point where she took my early Billy on the Street videos before they went viral.

And she had me put them on a DVD.

And when she would go do a talk show, Kimmel or Fallon.

Now, if you remember...

uh joan when we did the pilot joan was kind of at a low point in her career right so she bounces back in like 2010 with her documentary and then she wins celebrity apprentice let's not talk about it but like but she was amazing on celebrity apprentice and she was hilarious and that kind of brings her back into relevance so all these talk shows had blacklisted her because of johnny carson and her feud with johnny carson like it's fascinating but we won't get into it right now

Watch her documentary.

It is truly the best show business documentary.

And so she's doing talk shows, late night talk shows for the first time in years, which was a really big deal for her.

It broke her heart not to be able to do those shows because Letterman and Kimmel, all these guys, like, I mean, I like those guys, but it was like an old boys club and they sided with Johnny, right?

It's crazy.

But so she's doing these talk shows again.
