While The View did not tackle the Kimmel kerfuffle, they still made headlines with the return of Joy’s Comedy Corner – a segment which was abandoned some 15 years ago.  The inaugural guest was comedian Andy Huggins.  The 73-year-old Texan referred to the 82-year-old Behar as “young lady”.  The last person who was able to pull that off with a straight face was Methuselah who, I believe, accompanied Joy to her senior prom!

Meanwhile on CBS, the Emmy Awards attained the highest viewership in four years.  Coincidence or not, four years ago the Emmys were also on CBS.  This all may be a dubious thing to crow about, but this ain’t your parents’ production of Peter Pan…or perhaps it is.  Studies show that CBS is the most popular network with seniors.  Many of them are still looking for Angela Lansbury on Sunday nights after 60 Minutes.  And some of them find her!

One of the most beloved oldsters from television is Joan Rivers – who continues to make news 11 years after her death.  Suddenly, a cache of her bric-a-brac is hitting the auction block via Julien’s Auctions on October 9^th.  While I certainly don’t begrudge anyone from making a buck off a perished parent, one must question the optics of selling the remains of a beloved family pet.  Yes, an urn containing the ashes of Auntie Joan’s dead Yorkie Spike was among the items for sale.  While many people say you can’t put a price on things, the bidding was starting at $800.  Days after posting this particular “lot”, it was discreetly removed from the auction.  However, fear not – if you want a memento of Spike, his X-rays are still up for sale.  Be forewarned – when Christie’s sold Spike’s silver water bowl, it went for over $14K.  I guess you can put a price on this stuff!
