Comics?

I hung out with Buddy Hackett for a few hours when I was a kid. He was super nice and very funny. He would not tell any off color jokes because there were kids in the room.

I met Phyllis Diller when I was young. She was very sweet and very attractive.

Bob Hope was a cool guy. Very funny. Had great timing.

I was once in the Rainbow Room back in the late 80’s. It was a Jewish wedding and I drank back then and was hammered. This tiny little Jewish woman sat down next to me. She was pretty plastered herself and started telling me jokes. She was insanely funny. She had the foulest mouth. F this, MF that over and over. She said her name was Mrs. Gettleman. The people I was with kept laughing at me as I had a ball with this little lady. Later I found out she was better known as Estelle Getty who was on the Golden Girls. They apparently made her up to look much older on the TV show so I didn’t recognize her. Neat lady.

One of the funniest people in person is Jay Leno. He’s a great stand up comedian and really a regular guy offstage.

It’s odd how I have met so many famous people over the years....
