Victoria Principal sued Joan Rivers for $3 million after Rivers blurted out her private phone number on the show, causing the actress to be hit with endless calls.

Joan Rivers gave up her long-running guest host position on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962) for her short-lived stint as host of this series, which was the Fox network's first late-night talk show.

According to Rivers, Fox pressured her to fire her husband, Edgar Rosenberg but she refused and quit the show.

David Spade was offered the chance to replace Joan Rivers as host but turned it down.
