No, he didn't invent it...I just like to talk about how Christopher Hitchens is a prat, is all. It's obvious he was smart once, but...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, she's been with Jane Wagner for years. Or last I heard.

I'm so stupid. I watched her get her Mark Twain prize for comedy and she kept referring to Jane as her partner, but I thought she meant writing.
Eye m dubm.

Not rash assumption, they ARE writing partners.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh yeah - Tomlin and Wagner did The Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe back in the '80s. I think then is when I figured she was gay. Or maybe a gay friend told me she was gay at around the same time....

Our wings are not tired.
I saw that show, maybe '86, in Hollywood. It was made of awesome, as are Tomlin and Wagner. Pretty funny for chicks.
I don't enjoy much standup, but much of what I have enjoyed has been female. I don't generally think about the gender of the person making me laugh. Personally in my life men have cracked me up laughing more often than women.

I saw that with my mom when she brought it to Chicago on tour in 1988 or '89, and came to the same conclusion after seeing the play. My dad had won tickets to the show (his group won the Tribune's Ribfest in '88) and saw it with his wife and some friends, and hated it with a passion. Knowing his rather conservative views on sexuality, I wasn't surprised.
Speaking of my dad, he cracked me up at Thanksgiving when I was telling him about my eye doctor appointment and the expectation of needing bifocals in the next few years. He said something about "Well, that'll happen when you hit 38," and I replied, "Dad, I'll be 41 in March." His expression of sheer horror was priceless!
