After being banned for almost 30 years, Joan Rivers made her triumphant return to The Tonight Show last night.

In case fans don't remember, Rivers was a regular on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson - she later became his permanent guest host. However, things fell apart when Rivers was offered (and accepted) her own prime-time gig as a late night talk show host, leaving Carson feeling shunned. He eventually banned her from the show and she has since not been invited back as a guest until last night's episode with Jimmy Fallon.

And what an appearance it was - Rivers had Fallon, The Roots, and even Russell Crowe laughing in stitches.
