Meet the cast & crew of Romancing the Joan

Joan Rivers can attribute her luck in finding love to SheKnows TV’s wonderful cast and crew, who poured their love, sweat and tears into the making of Romancing the Joan.

Joan Rivers wasn’t the only genius on set! These are the men and women who spent 15 days, traveled to four locations and put in more than 300 hours to assist Joan Rivers in finding true love. Whether she succeeded in doing just that is another question… you’ll just have to watch to find out!
