Joan Rivers’ daughter, Melissa, has given E! network her blessing to continue "Fashion Police" beginning in 2015. She has also reportedly tipped her hat to a replacement that Rivers would have approved of to lead the show into new territory, comedienne Kathy Griffin.
A report in London's Daily Mail reveals, "A source told the Daily Mail that Joan's daughter, Melissa Rivers, will continue as a producer on the show. The source also revealed that Kathy has been told if she wants the gig she can have it because Melissa wanted someone who her mother would have approved of. Kathy will probably take the position but they are still working out the deal."
Since Rivers' untimely death in September 2014, Griffin has been posting photos to her Instagram account of herself and the late funny lady, a mentor to Griffin, who is also known for her no-holds-barred jokes about celebrities.
After Rivers' death, Griffin posted this on Twitter about her friend, "'A legend, a friend, a mentor, an icon, and wildly funny. 1 of a kind. RIP' - @kathygriffin"
In an interview with Griffin after Rivers' death, talk show host Larry King asked the comedienne about the rumours she was in talks to take over Rivers' jobs while she was in a coma. "It's disgusting. It's not true… I thought I'd heard it all, but that [rumour] hurts because it's as far from the truth as you can get. I would never take Joan's job. Joan and I had a different style. She absolutely was my mentor for sure, but no.
