Lily Tomlin did what Gilda did on SNL on Laugh-In. She disappeared into weird characters -- Ernestine, Edith Ann, and the woman who never finishes her thoughts.

I agree with Lily. But Lily is a great comedy legend herself.

Carol Burnett is still funny. She's the only reason I watch Palm Royale, where she reigns at 93 years old.

I'll never forget Lucy playing an elderly homeless woman named Florabelle in the 1985 television drama movie Stone Pillow. Absolutely brilliant!

Excellent! I vote a big Yes to Moms Mabley! She could toss off a line like casually brushing a piece of lint off her shoulder, and I’d be doubled over laughing. “Then I married an old man. And ugly. He was so ugly, honest to goodness, he hurt my feelings.”
