Season 8 Quotes

08x17 - Joan Rivers/Musical Youth Season 8 / Episode 17: - Joan Rivers/Musical Youth

Herself - Host: [closeup on face of Joan Rivers in costume, portraying Elizabeth Taylor] I still remember the day we finished filming "National Velvet". No one else knew what to do with the horse. I did.
Herself - Host: ["Elizabeth Taylor" grins mischievously and puts a toothpick in her mouth; camera pans back to show an extremely large "Elizabeth Taylor" wearing blue jeans and a blouse, stretched out on a sofa]
Herself - Host: That's when I decided I wanted to become the *biggest* star in the world. I also had my first really big meal. Turkey. Not the whole country, silly!
Herself - Host: [giggles and lifts a leg; a ripping sound is heard. "Elizabeth Taylor" reacts with dismay at the tearing sound] I am planning a sequel to "National Velvet". It's going to be called "Crushed Velvet"! [giggles again, then "Elizabeth Taylor" accidentally rolls over and her huge posterior shows the label "Calvin Klein"]
Male Voiceover: Calvin Klein Jeans, now available in Industrial Strength!
08x17 - Joan Rivers/Musical Youth Season 8 / Episode 17: - Joan Rivers/Musical Youth

Herself - Host: One nice thing about having Elizabeth Taylor to dinner is you don't have to cut the pizza into slices.
