STILL KICKIN'?: Phyllis Diller

A while back I posted about one of my fav ol' skool comedians, Jonathan Winters and remarked how amazing it was that he was still alive. When you think of the life of a mid-20th century comedian, you can only imagine the drinking, smoking and other bad things they'd done during their career shleppin' from one ratty nightclub venue to the next. How are they still kickin'?

I remember Phyllis Diller looked like an old hag even back in the '70s when she made her frequent "Tonight Show" appearances.  I guess the iconic cigarette holder was for affect since she hasn't dropped dead from lung cancer yet.

Good for you, Phyllis! Keep Joe Black at bay, no matter how hot he looks.
