"My favorite is Robin Williams," the late "Fashion Police" host Joan Rivers said in a resurfaced 1986 interview released by Playboy. "There's nobody like him. His mind is just wonderful. I respect him because he does what I do."

Considered the most intuitively funny woman alive at the time, Rivers said she finds the late Robin Williams funny as he "takes nothing for granted" and he "knows exactly what he's doing."

In the unearthed interview, Rivers described Williams as "one of those people I'll wait in the rain to see" along with Richard Pryor, Bill Murray, Lily Tomlin and Eddie Murphy.

Prior to her death on Sept. 4, Thursday, Rivers also wrote for Time calling Williams as "one of the great interviews. You'd see him coming down that red carpet and you knew, OK, now we're gonna have fun. We're not gonna hear the usual, 'Yes, we all love each other on the set.'"

According to Rivers, Williams was "very wild" and "the only one you could compare him with in terms of style was Jonathan Winters" since they are both "crazy mad, going into characterizations, in and out, in and out. Such ADD."

Meanwhile, Piers Morgan took to Twitter to pay tribute to both Rivers and Williams even writing a series of tweets about his fellow "The Celebrity Apprentice" alum.

"Robin Williams & Joan Rivers dead in same few weeks. Arguably the funniest man & woman of my lifetime. Thank you both for all the laughs," Morgan tweeted.

In another tweet, "The Celebrity Apprentice 1" winner described "The Celebrity Apprentice 2" winner as "unapologetically offensive, kind, tough, complicated, irrepressible, supremely energetic" and "bloody funny."

"Didn't know @Joan Rivers that well, but I was one of the 481 people she followed on Twitter. So I suspect she secretly loved cricket," he also tweeted.

One tweet from Morgan claimed Rivers would not want "saccharine tributes tonight. She'd want people taking the piss."

In 2012, Rivers told Rolling Stone, "Life is hard and we better laugh at everything, otherwise we're going down the tube."

Morgan also tweeted one of Rivers' most memorable quotes, "We don't apologize for a joke. We are comics. We are here to make you laugh. If you don't get it, then don't watch us."
