I think she shocked the audience with her humor. I met Martha Stewart at a speaking engagement once and she was very funny and she made fun of herself as well.

You hit on all of my favorites and I'm glad Trish B. added Rita Rudner. I've seen her twice in person and she is hysterical! I loved watching Raymond (Ray Ramono) re-runs. I never saw them when they were on in their regular season, because I didn't think it would be funny. Turned out I was wrong. Laughing is the best medicine and it's something I do everyday with my husband. It keeps you young! Great choices, Geri! You hit on all of my favorites and I’m glad Trish B. added Rita Rudner.

I want to laugh every single day!! The only person whom I have ever seen make Martha Stewart giggle is David Letterman. That's of course because he is making fun of her in a very affectionate way. She has a darling giggle. So agree with you about Charlie Sheen. I'm afraid his real life persona may be just like the TV one! xoxo Great post. I want to laugh every single day!!

She seems to be able to laugh at herself - and strike a chord with audiences young AND "old." p.s. how about Rita Rudner?

Agree with your assessment about Cosby, Trump, Dr. Phil, etc. But Williams IS funny. What I love about being my age is being able to accept, laugh at, and enjoy who I am instead of worrying about it and wondering if I am who/what I "should be."

BUT, not about Brian Williams. He's a very funny guy. (PS: Do you remember Carlin's "My Stuff" routine? I can laugh out loud just thinking of it. Made me clean out the closets last weekend.) cheers I agree with much of what you say (I just downloaded George Carlin stuff last night!). BUT, not about Brian Williams. He’s a very funny guy.
