Zeppo Marx’s son, Nepo Marx

Born on this date, May 12th in 1937, my greatest stand up comedy hero, George Carlin. And it's appropriate that today is Mother's Day since 'mother' is half of one of his famous 'Seven Words.'

Born on this day, May 11th in 1927, the great and groundbreaking Mort Sahl.

Remembering Winstead “Doodles” Weaver and Foster Brooks, both born on this date, May 11th, in 1911 and 1912 respectively. Doodles was a close friend until his passing in 1983.

RIP Diane Ford.

RIP Richard Tandy of ELO and so much more … whew. Just lovely.

SO funny! And super well edited.

So happy I went with The Atlantic. It was that or take 150k from the Enquirer to kill it.

I know I’ve been in New York for a long time because I just stepped on a live rat and didn’t even break stride.

Happy 91st birthday to the beloved and brilliant Carol Burnett. Here’s her charming and hilarious appearance the other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live. SO wonderful, as always. Love this woman.

Happy 92nd birthday to Elaine May. As a writer, a director and a performer, she is one of the great comic geniuses of all time. I saw her just a few years ago in her Tony Award winning performance in The Waverly Gallery and she was still a marvel to behold.

To those who observe, happy 4/20.
