One thing that never seems to be a problem in the world of comedy is its practitioners acknowledging each other's greatness without having to be prompted by death. Louis C.K. raved about Joan Rivers back in 2011 when she appeared on Louie, and he's doing it again now that she's passed. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter he said:

"I feel very lucky that I knew Joan Rivers and I feel very sad that she's gone. She was a great comedian and a wonderful person. I never saw someone attack a stage with so much energy. She was a controlled lightning bolt. She was a prolific and unpredictable, joyful joke writer. She loved comedy. She loved the audience. She was a great actress and should have done that more. She loved living and working. She was kind. She was real. She was brave. She was funny and you wanted to be around her. I looked up to her. I learned from her. I loved her. I liked her. And I already miss her very much. It really fucking sucks that she had to die all of a sudden."

Many stars have raved about Rivers today, but C.K. probably did it best. He's right: this really does fucking suck.
