My late mother, who had six children, was a big fan of Phyllis Diller, who had five children. I have vivid memories of my mother enjoying Diller on TV in the 60’s, watching the Bob Hope specials.
Phyllis, born in 1917, is still with us, and there’s a new interview with her on NPR. Click here to hear. She’s still sharp, and there are excerpts of her doing a live performance in 2002. No need to apologize for her age — the jokes and Diller’s delivery are very funny!
