John Sparling Interviews Comic Legend Phyllis Diller 6/8/07

[EiCoolguy]

BEST LAUGH/ BEST COMEDY. Love her. I'm pumped to see what she'll do in How To Live Forever. The pic they have of her looks hilarious as all hell. Here check it out! (on.fb. me/i6tinw)

[LuniaVideo]

I love her voice and everything that she says with it.

[phlashba]

I adore her --- but even more importantly, I admire her so very much. Thanks for this!

[BuddyNovinski]

Happy Birthday to Phyllis Diller! 93 today!

[PatrioticBlonde]

Phyllis has always been my one of my first inspirations!

[SuperOlds88]

thats the most beautiful 90 year old woman I have ever seen

[wakgress]

Just finished watching this interview, she seems like a very sweet lady... I have always liked her. Ken from Seattle ..

[pmb22gma]

@wakgress I agree, very sweet!

[qualqui]

What a Dame,....Luv Miss Diller,...she's the MOST!!!!

[likesdamoosic]

This woman is amazing!! I have loved her since the 60s and 70s. I always remember how talented a musician she is as well as being funny. Remember reading articles back then in Rona Barrett Hollywood of how Phyllis Diller was a generous colleague to young entertainers including the young Streisand. Respect, Ms Diller, lots of respect!

[giannisacco]

I've always loved her to pieces. Unlike too many of today's comics, she's a true class act, and her life's story is an absolute inspiration. She overcame much more than the average person had to in order to claim success. Look for what she has to say about the Magic of Believing and you'll be inspired as well.

Happy, happy birthday, Phyllis! LOVE!

[gustio86]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHYLLIS DILLER!!!

[JohnOnTV]

Today she is 92 years young and still going strong!

[98orpheus]

OMG!! I just love her so much-I hope she lives many , many, many, more years.

[TheSteffen1223]

I don't even know how she has lived this long considering 3 of her children are dead. I could not have lived that long if I were her.

[EdwardBoo1]

I absolutely love and adore Phyllis Diller. A true original- no one in the world is like her!

[hindsight1820]

Oh THANKS! This was a great interview. I am so glad you did this. Thanks to both of you!!!

[valeriefd]

Great clip. I wanna be Phyllis Diller!!! Smart, talented, happy, and a long life. Who could ask for more?

[heartsofspace]

Phyllis is enjoying retirement in Funny Lady, Florida.

[Owlsbreath]

Her laughter is so contagious.

I can't help but laugh when she laughs!

[spiritchannel]

This is a great interview! Thanks for posting this! Looking forward to more from you.

[sks409]

I wonder if she ever had a big gay-fan base?

[JohnOnTV]

She did and she still does. Thanks for the question.

[anthonynewsome]

@sks409 hi I know U posted this question a while back, yes she does, she attended Kansas City and Philadelphia Pride events in support of gay pride and rights.

She along with May West were the first stars to support lgbt rights back in 30's, they were ahead of their times,

[maruschk]

Great job, Johnny boy!!

[muscle10freak]

HAhaha

[flitwicksman]

Wit and wisdom, a perfect combination!

[BLAKPEARL69]

[polkadotbox2]

What a treat! Thank you for sharing this delightful visit with my favorite Lady of Comedy!

[frankftw]

Wonderful interview of a wonderful woman. I saw her in person at Fort Worth's Casa Manana about 1983 and 25 years later I still have never laughed so much in an evening.

[clickhere4music]

I had the pleasure of seeing her in Toronto in 1972 at the O'keefe Center! What a woman & comic! Also met her after!!! THX

[lenbenhear]

This lady when she was "on" was truly hysterical! ... and started her career AFTER she raised her family! AMAZING ! great interview, btw. 90 years old and still on top of her game. what a crazy lady.

[NeponsetValleyGirl]

This is what happens when you keep seniors involved, active, loved and respected. Bless her heart, she is a gem (no green chickette here!)

[standtoreason]

I liked how she cleared up the point about not showing off. Good follow-up question; good answer. It reminds me of people talking on dates too.

[2nicks]

Lovely!

[LoulyM]

finally made it here. great interview John ..

[kcaudill2112]

Thanks Phyllis for the treasures that you gave us.And for starting the Punk Rock movement! You were waaaaaaaay ahead of your time.Ha Haa Haaaa Ha Haaaaaa!!! You are the BEST!

[chaidragonfire]

I have loved, adored, and admired Phyllis Diller since I was 3 years old!!!!!

[finally39]

Awesome......simply great! I love her! "She thought Fang's engagement ring was a square cut Emerald....it was a chicklet!" rofl lmao

[mjt92104]

Good interview, although a bit scripted sounding. Ms. Diller has a great work ethic (a rarity these days) and looks great for 90! Her mind is still sharp. What a treat to see her. Thank you!
