That Show Starring Joan Rivers was a syndicated half hour daytime talk show hosted by comedienne Joan Rivers seen in several television markets across the United States. Joan had appeared in a few off-broadway shows and movies and had already appeared several times on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. She also worked as a gag writer for Candid Camera when the opportunity to host her own talk show came along.

Joan opened each show with a comical monologue and the rest of the show focused on a single topic with her day's guest stars. In the screenshots below, the day's topic was the days of burlesque shows. The show was laced with comedy throughout as Joan's comedic sarcastic personality shined.

Jim said that he got the job as her announcer through a project he had done where Joan's managers were involved. He could not remember what it was but it obviously got Joan Rivers' attention. Jim recalled the show fondly in a March 2005 interview:

"I did the show with Joan for a year. It was a very nice little show. Each show had a theme and she would have an expert and a celebrity on that subject. Some of them were cooking shows which was great because June and I got some wonderful meals out of being invited by these noted chefs to their well-known restaurants. It was terrific."

Unfortunately, the syndicated talk show market was pretty heavy by the late 1960s and That Show Starring Joan Rivers was not able to draw the audiences needed to stay on the air. It was cancelled after just one season. Joan Rivers went on to star in a number of movies and television shows while Jim moved on to a radio career for a few years before returning to television.
