He remembered it worse than it actually was. Chris got to do about three minutes instead of 40 seconds. He was sitting next to Howie Mandel but Pee Wee was no longer on stage by the time he went up to do his set. Perhaps Howie and Pee Wee "ripped him to shreds" backstage after what happened, but nobody gave him shit on camera. Howie kept his mouth shut while Joan talked to Chris.
Could someone please tell me where I could watch that last Joan Rivers Show episode with Chris Rock? Really been wanting to watch that for over a year now... so any help would be appreciated!!!!
And Pee-Wee Herman was not a guest at that show, Howie Mandel didn't speak to him (and definitely didn't rip him to shreds), and Joan Rivers was extremely kind and encouraging to him. I guess a comic is going to "embellish" to make it funnier.
