Is anyone left of the other comedians who were regulars on the Ed Sullivan Show? Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks are still around, but they weren't what I would consider regulars as the Interviewer and the 2000-year-old Man.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I really liked Stiller and Meara in the skits they used to do on variety shows and late night talk shows. Then Meara got a role in a new comedy that I thought I would like, and when I looked in she was smoking cigarettes, sometimes in scenes with children. That was it for me for Meara.

I still liked Stiller and thought he did a great job on King of Queens the few times I watched it. I was amazed at how he was still stealing scenes at his age. Wow!

Robert Klein.

And, I wouldn't be surprised if Bob Newhart was on at least a time or two. Same with Shecky Greene.

How about Rich Little?
