I think I saw that episode of Groucho's show. I seem to recall seeing it rerun a few years ago. (Or maybe it was some clips shown in a Groucho documentary?)

Rip Taylor was never married to Phyllis Diller. She was married twice: first to a man named Sherwood Anderson Diller (5 children), then to an actor named Warde Donovan. I remember they appeared on a few game shows together back in the seventies.

Signor V.


"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
