Blogger 365 Day 247 - What will she do now?

     So apparently Joan Rivers passed away today.  I am neither saddened or overjoyed by her passing.  Honestly I have never found her to be all that funny or talented, but maybe I missed the boat on that and she was funny and talented before I was born.  It's possible I suppose. 

     While I am ambivalent about her passing, there is one person who most certainly isn't, that being Melissa Rivers.  Not simply because her mother passed away, but let's not kid anyone, without her mother opening doors, Melissa Rivers is a nobody.  An epidemic lack of talent who managed to ride her mother's coattails to what little fame she has gotten.  And now?  Who knows?  Is anyone really going to be pining for a Melissa Rivers solo act on the red carpet of any awards show?  Or for her to sit in for a vacationing late night host? Certainly with a plethora of cable channels one of the vast assortment of them may make a play for Melissa Rivers, hoping her now dead mother's name may draw ratings but there are so many cable channels nowadays that even shitty programming like Honey Boo Boo is out there, so simply being on TV is not all that much of an accomplishment, especially when the path has already been cleared based solely on name recognition.

      It almost makes me wish for a famous dead relative, but not quite.
