NEW YORK — Joan Rivers is being replaced by Lisa Rinna as TV Guide Channel's leading red-carpet host. The actress will make her debut at the Emmy Awards on Sept. 16, the network said Wednesday.
Rivers, 73, and her daughter, Melissa, 37, launched TV Guide Channel's red-carpet programming in January 2005. They had previously appeared as red-carpet hosts on E! Entertainment.
"TV Guide Channel is very appreciative of Joan and Melissa Rivers' contributions to the success of our red-carpet programming over the past three years," Ryan O'Hara, president of TV Guide Channel, said in a statement. "We wish them the best in their future endeavors."

They are probably going to be back on E!
Joan is one of the most talented comediennes in the hystory!
She is a delight.

Posted: 4/18/07 at 10:07pmWe'll see,,, the last few years felt like a stand-off. She invented the red carpet. That TV Guide show had really low production values.

Even 39 seems a little generous, but who knows?
I really wish that they'd bring Tears and Laughter to Broadway.
