Melissa Rivers is opening up about everything from Fashion Police to her cameo in the movie Joy!

Fashion Police just returned last Monday for the show's 2016 Golden Globes special and the show has two additions this year. Joining Melissa, Brad Goreski and Giuliana Rancic on the show are 2016 special co-hosts NeNe Leakes and Margaret Cho!

"We always have fun," Melissa reveals to E! News' Will Marfuggi in the exclusive interview above. "This is a group that we're very comfortable with each other rhythms. It's like music it all plays together well."

What's it like working with NeNe?

"Nene's outrageous," Melissa says. "NeNe is just a character and speaks her mind and brings tremendous energy."

It's been a very busy couple of months for Melissa. In addition to Fashion Police, she also just made a cameo in the movie Joy.

Melissa played her late mother Joan Rivers in the movie, something she admits "didn't really hit me until I got home."

The 47-year-old explains, "The first big hurdle I got over before I got to set which was going through the hair and makeup test and the wardrobe tests. That was sort of the very surreal part. So by the time I got on set weeks later, I had gotten over that hurdle in my head."

But there was one thing Melissa says was "weird" to her. Find out what that one thing was in the video above!
