Cast of Carol Burnett Show reflect on Phyllis Diller…
“Phyllis has been a dear friend for many years. She was a pioneer for
women stand-up comedians. I was with her a few weeks ago, and she had me
on the floor with a few choice jokes. Funny, charming and loving...
I’ll miss her.” -- Carol Burnett
"Phyllis Diller came through a mine field of male comedians when she
arrived on the comedy scene and she defused them all. She won her place
in the Hall of Comedy as the First Lady. I will miss her." – Tim Conway
“95 years old. Pretty damned incredible! She was one of the original
pioneers in a truly male dominated industry. And yet, she was one of the
nicest, kindest, funniest, sincerest women I have ever known. She is,
and forever will be, a genuine, pivotal piece of comedy history. She had
such a gentle, hysterical way of laughing at herself without ever
making us feel uncomfortable about laughing with her. Study up
youngsters! She was one of a kind!” – Vicki Lawrence
