TRIBUTE


"I went to a gay wedding and I caught the jockstrap"

-- Phyllis Diller

Oh Phyllis, you were so awesome for so many reasons. Thanks for the laughs, you did good.

Real Good.

  1. LOL! Great line!
    I've loved her into my adulthood so much probably because she made me laugh so much as a boy.

    Since she began her comedy career in San Francisco, I would hope the drag community would honor her with a Phyllis Parade; a parade of drag Phyliises!

  3. I remember her from Johnny Carson and laughing my ass off even as a young child. Now that I know she is from my "Oz" I love her more. She wrote for the San Leandro Times...WTF?
