hearing a great actor speak with humility about the interesting times of his past - it's like a balm

[domainer35]

Jerry you are a great great actor. I watch the king of queens every time I feel low and you make me laugh. I just hope that King of Queens starts off again.

It is so strange to see him out of character. I was expecting an angry outburst (Arthur) any sec. But that's how great of a comedic ACTOR he is. What a great man.

My favorite tv father from Seinfeld

So Realistic ,.. He makes my verbal battles with my father laughable

in hindsight. His Compulsive outbursts of rage are so tragicaly funny.

THE MAAAAAAANZERE..⚮

Tonight, I spoke to Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. They were at a Japanese restaurant in the West Village. They were so warm. Jerry said to my husband, "Have I worked with you? I should have."
