Glad you caught that Ebbie. Bill Cosby. (OK, you can laugh.)

Definitely Jackie Gleason and Red Skelton.

When I was young and very, very insecure, I found slapstick painful and embarrassing to watch. I suffered agonies for Lucille Ball.

Because I have been so out of the loop of popular culture for so many years, there is much about comedy that deals with popular culture today that I often simply do not get - something my ex and I still have in common.
