Sarah Silverman paid tribute to Joan Rivers during her first time hosting "Saturday Night Live". She played the late comedienne who just arrived in heaven and roasted a series of other deceased public figures like Richard Pryor, Steve Jobs, Lucille Ball, and Benjamin Franklin.
Wearing a fur coat and rocking a short wavy hairdo, Silverman imitated Rivers' raspy voice and hold-no-barred jokes. In a diss directed at Apple co-founder Jobs, she said he should be forced to buy a new and better casket every six months so he could see how people feel about iPhone releases.
In another sketch, the "A Million Ways to Die in the West" actress spoofed "The Fault in Our Stars" with a fake sequel about a relationship between a guy and a dying girl with Ebola. When he asked if her doctors could find the cure, she said, "If doctors know so much about things, why is my doctor dead?"
