from her one-woman show.

and thank you for the laughter.

And did not drag skits or too long.

SNL is juvenile and gross by comparison.

But they can just stick with what they do. There's lots of other talent out there could do a

21st Century Chortle-In or something....

And now reality TV is king because it is so cheap to produce.

though the commercials are probably the biggest reason.

I'm so thankful for streaming services (I only have Netflix) and PBS passport. That's the only TV I watch and even that, very seldom. I haven't had cable for 20 years.

i have never missed it.

Other forms of TV require residuals, Reality Shows are classified as documentaries so the participants don't get residuals from reruns. And Reality shows likely aren't under union workplace safety rules either.

Thanks for all the laughs over the years.

Did she ever see the old man's walneto?

She'd post one-liners often.

Cross gently, Ruth.

Johnny Carson laughed because thought it was part of a comedy routine when Ruth Buzzi said she was from a place with the "funny" name of Wequetequock, but that is where she really was from. It's part of Stonington, CT, and still home of Buzzi Memorials.

and she was very funny

They would be on a park bench. I always laughed!

They played those same characters, only Johnson's old masher was a retired superhero in the show. Way-out concept, but it was hilarious. At least to a nine year-old like me.

Then you know what I'm here after."

Then she'd hit him on the head with her handbag.

I loved that show.

and then she was on Frankie and Grace, that was funny too.

Some people you think are always going to be around, but it's a fact: None of us are getting out of here alive.

she was so funny!

Thanks, Ruth.
May you come back in your next life even funnier.

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (TV Series 1967‑1973)

My sympathies to her friends, fans and family. It's always sad when we lose someone who made others smile.

Thank you!

The Beatles were a big part of my young life. I've long thought it would be ironic if Ringo was the last survivor considering he was so sickly as a kid and young man.

helped make that show funny. Even as a kid, I loved it.
R.I.P.

I was always excited to see her on That Girl and Laugh In plus everything else she was in. I wasn't born yet or cognizant enough for her earliest work so I might just have to dig around youtube and see what I can find that I may have missed.

Maybe I saw it in re-runs but I can't recall.

Thank you Ruth for all of the laughs during my childhood and beyond!!

She held a variety of interests and invested wisely. She and her husband owned a collection of vintage automobiles. Also, she painted on canvas and donated her works to charity.

Rest in Peace 🕯️

For bringing joy and laughter to so many.

RIP

I always enjoyed her on Laugh-In.
