SNL's Joan Rivers roasts dead celebs in heaven

Joan Rivers is getting along just fine up in heaven, at least according to Saturday Night Live.

In a sketch that aired Saturday, Sarah Silverman plays the late Rivers as she finds herself in heaven doing what she does best: Ripping on other famous faces, from Ben Franklin to Freddie Mercury.

"So many incredible people here tonight, even Steve Jobs right here," Rivers says, gesturing to the deceased Apple chief. "Steve, I hope you're forced to buy a new and better casket every four months so you can see how we feel." --Jon Terbush
