      She is that generations Lucille Ball or Mary Tyler Moore, but yea, I haven't seen anyone near her level since Seinfeld wrapped up, the writing on her own shows wasn't good enough to let her truly shine or else we would have had an untold number of extra years of her, but sadly it wasn't to be. I sure do still love her in syndication though.

    • @DavidJohnson-lm7nn
      @DavidJohnson-lm7nn ปีที่แล้ว

      hey only accolade is "she knows Jerry." For her to win one, before him, is fucking ludicrous. She's known for her stand up as much as Einstein is known for his professional NBA play as a two guard. She wasnt a writer so the awards you mention are not for comedy. I dont know who is fucking worse, this award or Ellen. Its a travesty.

    4:02 "I love comedy and I love my career" Honestly that delivery cracks me up. It reminds me of your aunt or someone at a family dinner, who is frustrated at the way their life has turned out, but putting on a good show, but cracks at the end. It's so well done
