Sad news, Phyllis Diller, one of the world’s leading ladies of comedy died, she was 95.
Phyllis Diller was the incredible hulk of women's comedy.
Known for her outrageous comedy and hair, Phyllis Diller was a pioneer for female comedians in the way Blondie and Madonna were pioneers for women in music. At a time when stand-up comedy was mostly guys, Phyllis was among the first. Her routine tore into her husband and sex life, describing it as “bouncing on a trampoline.”
One of her classic jokes was poking fun at herself: “Would you believe that I once entered a beauty contest?” she said. “I must have been out of my mind. I not only came in last, I got 361 get-well cards.”
You were one of a kind, totally different.
