The E! TV channel says that Fashion Police will continue without Joan Rivers.

In a statement on Friday, the channel said it “thought long and hard” about what Rivers would have wanted for the show.

The decision was made that the late comedian would have hoped that Fashion Police continue, E! said. Rivers’ daughter, Melissa, who is the show’s executive producer, agreed and gave her “blessing,” the channel said.

The 81-year-old Rivers died on September 4, a week after going into cardiac arrest during a procedure at an outpatient surgery facility in New York.

Fashion Police will return next January, starting with Golden Globes coverage, E! said.

No further details about the show, including whether Rivers would be replaced, were announced. Other show hosts include Kelly Osbourne, Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopoulos.
