Jerry Seinfeld honored Joan Rivers with a Facebook post on Monday after he discovered an August text message in which the late comedian agreed to appear on his web show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.
The Hollywood Reporter reports:
"I just came across this heartbreaking text on my phone from August 19th. I had asked Joan Rivers to be our lead guest on the new season of Comedians in Cars, and she was thrilled," Seinfeld wrote on the Comedians in Cars Facebook page Monday. "Then we got a call saying she was going in for a medical procedure and needed to postpone."
Seinfeld went on to write how much he was looking forward to having Rivers on his Crackle web series.
"I would have loved to have shown another side of her," he wrote. "I wanted to tell her how much I admire all she had accomplished, especially in the latter stages of her career. She was one of the greats. I'll miss her."
Rivers died Sept. 4. Many others also have paid their respects publicly, including daughter Melissa Rivers, Howard Stern, TV late night hosts and The View panelists.
