An interview from the ’80s between Betty White and Joan Rivers is going viral.
A hilarious clip of White being interviewed by Rivers on “The Tonight Show” in 1983 resurfaced this week following the “Golden Girls” star’s New Year’s Eve death and there’s no shortage of jokes between the two funny women.
