I grew up watching Danny. His humor was very much like my father's. So getting to write for him on I'm A Big Girl now, and again on It's A Living, was a dream come true. Nothing better than making him laugh. Here with my bestie, Judy Askins.

He wasn't the first. I remember Joe Pine. There were plenty before him. No different than today's talking heads on either side.

Soon there will be torches and pitchforks. What's going on with the distribution of wealth is just plain wrong.

Unbelievable that Charlie stared in movies. And they were good. Bergen wasn't the best ventriloquist in terms of technique, but the dude was damn funny. I also loved Mortimer Snerd.

No thought was given to it. We knew after the first few that it wasn't as good as GG's. The numbers weren't there so I don't think CBS was considering it. Loved working with Cheadle and Cheech but the chemistry just wasn't the same without Bea.

Thanks to streamers they're almost all obscure. Do you think 20 years from now people will remember Bear or Palm Royale? A full season today is 8-10 episodes. Nothing memorable. But I'd go with "Willard" staring Elijah Wood.

Before Benson became Gov. he was the chauffeur on Soap. Character was based on the chauffeur who drove Tony Thomas (Danny's son, EP, and great guy) to school every day. Tony asked to be dropped off a block away so the other kids didn't see how he got to school.

This is how addicted I've been to TV since the moment I first saw it. I was born in '48. I don't remember not having a TV. And I remember watching The Goldbergs with my family. "Yoo Hoo, Mrs. Bloom."

Thanks, I needed that.

Worked with Deborah on I'm A Big Girl Now. The show didn't make it but it was a thrill to work with Danny Thomas. One of my biggest producing mistakes - I never asked Martin Short if he did impressions or anything.

I still have them. You can still get them.

Every time I see a movie or show with Nazis I keep hoping that Col. Klink will come in.

I loved "Ozzie & Harriet". Just wanted Ozzie to take me to the malt shop.

"Hi, it's me, Stan." I loved working with him. And so did The Ladies.
