After more than two decades,
Fashion Police, the iconic series on E! Network, an American basic cable and
satellite television channel, would end its run with a special finale on No.
27.
According to People, the special
will reveal never-before-seen footage including a previously unaired 80s-themed
episode featuring the late show co-creator and long-running host late Joan
Rivers, the legendary comedian.
Fashion Police covered every
major award show and fashion event through the lens of Rivers’ comedic
commentary.
The network announced Wednesday
that the series hosted by Melissa Rivers, Joan’s daughter, will sign off with a
special episode, “Fashion Police: The Farewell’’.

(PhotoTimothy White/E!) Fashion Police was helmed by the legendary comedian
since its inception in 1995, covering every major award show and fashion event
with Joan’s signature sharp wit.
After the demise of Joan, 81, in
September 2014, the franchise continued with the blessing of Melissa, 49, as
executive producer who also became a co-host in 2015. Other hosts include
Giuliana Rancic, Brad Goreski, NeNe Leakes and Margaret Cho.
“Thank you to E! for having the vision to see
the potential of Fashion Police which changed both the entertainment and
fashion industries,” Melissa said in a statement. “I am truly proud to be part
of this legacy.”
“For the past 20 years, Fashion Police has
been part of the pop culture zeitgeist and it’s definitely been a fun ride for
the hosts as well as the viewers across the globe.
From celebrity appearances and
never-before-seen moments with the late, great Joan Rivers, the finale is going
to be a show fans won’t want to miss as we all celebrate the great run the show
has had.
“I can’t wait!” Rancic, 43, also
said in a statement. The special will revisit some of the funniest and most
beloved segments, such as “Bitch Stole My Look,” “Guess Me from Behind,” and
“Starlet or Streetwalker.” It will also feature surprise celebrity guests,
taking viewers behind-the-scenes with insider scoop from cast and crew.
