Phyllis Diller is the Queen of stand up and one liners 🙏🤣

I always loved Phyllis Diller.

Phyllis Diller was a genius. I wonder if Ellen still has the painting and is it displayed or tucked away in storage?

[@rmystery2832]

ever notice the background in the later years on her show resembled Epstein Island? Go Figure.

The earliest Ellen shows are the best tbh.

Ellen's disconnection from, and utter lack of interest in, her guests was evident from season 1. She barely engaged with this comic legend.
