Have you ever seen this, by the way? It's amazing. That's her famous filing cabinet that she had throughout her career that she would type jokes on cards and then store them in this huge file cabinet. Uh You wanna hear some of the jokes apparently that she had on these cards? Ok. First one, I try to dress my age but it's so hard to find fig leaves. That was all right. Next one, she's living proof that the Salvation Army does alterations. That one. Apparently she's had catalog as, as C Awards and Emmy. She must have used that on a red carpet.

The interactive exhibit gonna open in 2025. It'll also feature personally compiled scrapbooks never from heard uh before her autobiographical audio recordings and also intimate correspondence with her peers in the entertainment industry as well. I actually met her. I have um so I used to work at the E E exclamation point network when she was on Fashion Police. We used to share last floor. Um But there was one time this was a few weeks. Uh sadly before she passed, I was in an elevator with her. It was just the two of us. And this was my first time to actually like say something to her. I was so nervous and so we get up and we're only on the third floor. It's not like my elevator right with her is very long. And I say, I just wanna say I love you. I think you're amazing and she was quiet. She looked me up and down and she's like, it's because you're gay and then she walked off the elevator. That's all she said. It was like one of the most amazing experiences ever. And then subsequently, she, we lost her just a few weeks after that. And working at the network at the time was like losing the president of the United States because it was just such a transformative, a big figure that we lost in the industry. Well, and Fashion Police was one of the highest rated shows on the E network. And by the way, you, I've always heard stories that she was very kind, incredibly sweet, incredibly sweet. People loved her, her producers, she took very, very good care of. If you want to celebrate Joan Rivers, watch piece of work, the documentary, very good, very, very, very good.
