She’s not totally unknown to the younger crowd. She did voices on “Robot Chicken” and “Family Guy.”

She was often on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. We would always stay up to watch her.

She once joked: We gave our son a banjo, and thought it was a tennis racquet. We didn’t have the heart to correct him. He was already in the semi-final round.

The female answer to Don Rickles...

Phyllis was funny, original and always had a good one liner ready. Like Johnny Carson, she could pull off a witty comeback without a second thought. She and Carson at the same time was almost too much to bear...

And never saw it necessary to be vulgar like most of today’s not funny comics...she did let out a few choice words now and then, but not as a constant part of her dialogue.

She always made fun of her own physical looks (as did her comedy peers), but many men found her attractive. She was married twice and lived with another man till his death. She had 6 children too !

Diller often portrayed herself as a horrible cook in her stand-up routines.

In real life, she was reputed to be an excellent cook, and in the late 1980s, a recipe she had devised for chili was licensed and canned; “Phyllis Diller Chili” would be sold in supermarkets across the United States.

The reason why people loved her is because she laughed at herself ! Being self-deprecating is a special kind of humor.

She's the source of that joke I've used a few times around here. And thank goodness for more than 2.5 million threads -- security by obscurity.
