Following Betty White's death at age 99 on Friday, December 31, 2021, the internet has been flooded with posts sharing love and adoration for the beloved actress and comedian.
Among the floods of posts was a tweet that resurfaced an interview from nearly four decades ago.
In 1983, Joan Rivers was filling in for Johnny Carson as a guest-host for The Tonight Show and had none other than White on as a guest.
Watch the pair's hilarious exchange right here:
During a two-minute exchange that's been circulating on social media, the two effortlessly roasted each other, and it's safe to say the audience had a blast.
As soon as she sat down, White immediately began to poke fun at a magazine cover Rivers appeared on at the time. She told the host: "You would think you were the only cover girl in town. Did you know that I'm a cover girl?"
"I'm surprised, but probably yes," Rivers responded. Before she could even finish her sentence, White fished out a magazine cover from beside her, which showed her on the cover of a magazine next to a big dog, immediately leading into another joke from the Golden Girls star.
"And if you dare say, 'Who's that other b***h on the cover?' I will never speak to you again for as long as I live," White said before later clarifying: "I am the one in the pink jacket."
Decades before the show debuted, Rivers embraced her inner "Fashion Police" and insulted about the monochromatic purple ensemble that White had chosen to wear that night.
After tossing the magazine cover behind her, she told White: "I asked you to come on tonight and look glamorous and look what you showed up in."
White responded: "I like to think understated is a lot classier than all this other stuff hanging out all over, well it's just ridiculous. The little tassels on everything… can you get them all going in opposite directions?
"Now do you consider yourself - seriously - 'cause you’re on a cover…not a major publication, but nonetheless," Rivers said to change topics, before White interjected: "Not a major publication?"
Rivers clarified, adding: "For your career, though, that's a good start."
Rest in peace to the two legends of comedy.
