Phyllis Diller

Phyllis Diller (1917-2012) was a stand-up comedian and actor, known for her fast wise-cracking delivery and cackling laugh. She was the guest star on episode 118 of The Muppet Show and made a brief appearance in The Muppets Go Hollywood.
Diller was one of the first women to establish a long and successful career in stand-up comedy. While she delivered the self-deprecating jokes which often dominated early non-male stand-ups, she was more brash and raucous than others and also hurled barbs about her never seen husband "Fang." She was a popular TV guest, appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, The Mouse Factory (one of the several guest hosts billed as Mickey's friend), Hollywood Squares, The Love Boat, and Boy Meets World. 
Diller lent her voice to multiple projects including the Rankin/Bass Halloween film Mad Monster Party, Pixar's A Bug's Life, The New Scooby Doo Movies, Hey, Arnold!, and Family Guy. Feature film work included three movies with Bob Hope, The Fat Spy (with Jack E. Leonard), a rare top-billed turn in Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady? (with Joe Flynn), and The Silence of the Hams. On Broadway, she was a replacement as the title character in Hello, Dolly! She earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1993.
