Carl Reiner is one of the greatest comedic geniuses we still have alive!! He shares that honor with Mel Brooks, Sid Ceaser,Gary Marshall and Gene Wilder! Bar none, they are the top five living legends of which we will never live to see a match! Society should be gleaning everything they can from these wonderful, wacky, devil-may-care writers and comedians who started comedy on the 20th century's wonder: television!
They are the pioneers of everything Ellen's show does, including her standup!!
I wish there was a way to write to these living gems to tell them how much we appreciate their lifetime contributions to the world! If anybody can do it, Ellena dn her crack staff can!! Are you all up to the challenge??? Lin C.

I was watching an episode the week of March 24/08, and I believe it was Thursday or Friday, and a special cook came by to show you how to make food in a freezing machine. It was the one that you put the food in your mouth and smoke came out of every hole in your face. Can you please link me to that episode. It was hilarious! That is one of my "happy" thoughts, that when I am having a sour day, I think of Ellen and her "puffs of smoke".
Thanks Ellen for the inspirational thoughts.
