Oscars 2015: Melissa Rivers Salutes Mother Joan in Touching Video

“It’s hard to believe it was 20 years ago that my mother and I stood on this very red carpet for the first time,” the “Fashion Police” EP says

Melissa Rivers paid a touching tribute to her late mother during E!’s “Live From the Red Carpet” show.

The “Fashion Police” executive producer honored Joan Rivers with a video that looked back on some of the late comedienne’s most memorable moments on the red carpet with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, from Will Smith to Sarah Jessica Parker.

“It’s hard to believe it was 20 years ago that my mother and I stood on this very red carpet for the first time,” Rivers said. “My mom asked questions that nobody else dared to ask.”

The tribute video showed some of Joan’s most hilarious moments, from teasing Kevin Spacey on his fashion decisions to fighting with fellow reporters for space on the red carpet.

“There were so many great moments with so many of the greats,” Melissa said. “And I think the reason everybody loved talking to my mother, just like the people who sit in these bleachers, was because she was a true fan.”

“Fashion Police: Oscars Special” airs Monday at 9 p.m. on E!
