Went to school with Ben’s wife Christine. Just saw her mother a couple months ago when I was visiting my hometown. I am sure they are on a plane to California as we speak to go to the funeral. So sad.

RIP.

I really liked her. Her husband and son, not so much.

Enjoyed them since they were regulars on The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Another classic has gone.

Bingo!

I was trying to remember what show I used to see them on.

Thanks Tom!

Yes, many of the good comedians from that time were on Ed’s show. Remember Senor Wences, Marty Allen and Steve Rossi, Shelley Berman, Jackie Mason, Joe E. Lewis, Henny Youngman, Frank Gorshin, Rowan & Martin, etc. We looked forward to Sunday nights, and Ed always had “a really big show.”

Funny lady. I remember they used to host an upcoming attractions show on HBO in the late 1970s, they were great.

RIP.

She was talented and entertaining with Jerry and solo. Not easy for part of a duo. RIP.

Who was the lady comedian who's shtick was to wear a very long beaded necklace and spin it around her neck like a hula-hoop?
