NEW YORK, N.Y. () — The iconic and trailblazing Joan Rivers, who passed away in September 2014, will be honored with a brand-new special on NBC. Known for her acerbic wit and bold, fearless takes, Rivers inspired a generation of comedians and broadcasters, many of whom will appear in the program. 

Titled ‘Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute,’ the special will premiere on Tuesday, May 13 at 10:00 p.m. on NBC. It was recorded at the historic Apollo Theater in New York City and will feature comedy titans like Rachel Brosnahan, Margaret Cho, Nikki Glaser, Tiffany Haddish, Chelsea Handler, Neil Patrick Harris, Bill Maher, Howie Mandel, Joel McHale, Tracy Morgan, Patton Oswalt, Aubrey Plaza, Sarah Silverman, Melissa Rivers, Jean Smart, and Rita Wilson.

Performers will deliver a mix of classic Rivers zingers and modern stand-up, and there will be musical bits, as well. 

An extended, uncensored version of the special will begin streaming May 14 on Peacock.
