After more than 50 years in show business, 76-year-old actress, comedian, talk show host, jewelry designer, business entrepreneur, author and possible soon-to-be reality show star Joan Rivers has done everything -- well, just about everything.

"I have been everywhere but South Dakota," an upbeat Rivers said in a phone interview. "And, I've really got to get going on that. It's really starting to bug me now."

She also tweets and blogs.

"It's just go, go, go," Rivers said. "That's the business. I just move with the industry in all that I do."

It might not be South Dakota, by the fearlessly spunky and energetic Rivers will bring her uncensored comedy show to the Mississippi Moon Bar at the Diamond Jo Casino for two shows at 7 and 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6.

A veteran of a long list of entertainment facets, including hosting E!'s red carpet show alongside daughter, Melissa Rivers, and QVC's 20-year run of "Joan Rivers Collection" -- now the largest televised jewelry outlet in the world -- Rivers' big break came in 1965, appearing on "The Tonight Show

with Johnny Carson" until she was offered her own television talk special, "That Show With Joan Rivers," followed by the Emmy Award-winning "The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers," in the 1980s.

The move, while beneficial in elevating Rivers' career, would cost her her friendship with the late Carson, who was angered when he learned of her new show from the network and not from Rivers herself. He reportedly never spoke to her again.

Rivers, however, has no regrets and is considered by many to be an entertainment pioneer in her own right -- a title that Rivers openly rejects.

"If I am anything I am current and relevant and ahead of the pack," she said. "I am not interested in being thought of as pioneer. I'm just having a good time and loving all of my work. What's past is past. Nobody knows or cares."

Rivers described her comedy show as an outlet, tapping into everything she is angry about, everything that is wrong with the world and everything that is being talking about -- all in a humorous manner, of course.

"When they come to see my act, we're talking about the fact that Whitney is on drugs," Rivers said. "That's the kind of show it is. We discuss what everyone is talking about. In tough times like this, everybody needs comedy. Comedy alleviates."

With no plans of slowing down and many outlets, projects and accolades under her belt, Rivers credits her pride and joy as the balance that comes with the greatest roles of her life -- as a mother and grandmother.

"Anyone who does not get the importance of family is an idiot," Rivers said. "I knew from the start of my career that I had to have another life outside of everything I did. It all begins and ends with family."
