Comedienne Sarah Silverman paid tribute to Joan Rivers over the weekend (04Oct14) by portraying the late comic on sketch show Saturday Night Live.
The A Million Ways to Die in the West star donned a short, blonde wig and a burgundy fur coat to impersonate Rivers as she hosted a Hollywood roast in heaven.
In the skit, Silverman, as Rivers, poked fun at late celebrities
including Eva Gardner, Richard Pryor and Freddie Mercury, who was
portrayed by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.
Rivers passed away following a routine throat surgery last month
(Sep14) in New York.
