Joan's jokes going to the Smithsonian?
"One potential destination is the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, which in 2011 mounted an exhibit around its acquisition of Phyllis Diller's gag file. Says Valeska Hilbig, the museum's deputy director, "We would be interested in discussing her legacy with [Rivers'] family when the time is right." Another possible home is the Library of Congress, which holds Bob Hope's joke collection. A more accessible option would be to scan them and put them online — something Rodney Dangerfield's widow did with his one-liners this year on Rodney.com. "It was a labor of love and continues to be," says Joan Dangerfield."
