Jerry Stiller: Funny Ed Sullivan Story

Stiller and Meara created a sketch about the cleaning woman for the first Mercury space capsule - but Ed read between the lines!
I will miss you Jerry!

I didn't care for Jerry's earlier comedy but when he hit Seinfeld and the King of Queens he was outstanding. As for King of Queens he's the one that made that show a hit.

[@wendellgee1985]

Arthur Spooner was insanely funny. I watch the reruns just for him

[@mgonzales56]

All three were great on King of Queens.

[@sorrowinchrist3387]

Kramer was one of the key figure!

[@Helmuesi911]

He will always be Arthur Spooner to me, my favorite character of all time.. Love you Artie, aka Jerry ... RIP LEGEND

[@wendellgee1985]

Arthur made me laugh so hard. Still does. Cheers -

[@theMcWOPPER]

What about frank costanza?

[@vyacheslavioffe5132]

I cant get enough of him !! He was a truly diamond !!

[@charlottematteson6245]

Heavenly beings are laughing tonite. Rest in peace Jerry with Ann.

[@J.R.in_WV]

With all the awful things going on in Hollywood over the years those two stuck together for over 5 decades, literally “till death”. They brought joy and laughter to millions and by all accounts were genuinely good people. In a world of Harvey Weinstein’s and Paris Hilton’s we sure could use a few more folks like Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Like it or not much of our country’s moral compass is directed by what’s happening in and coming out of Hollywood and these days it’s more trash than anything.

R.i.P. Such a naturally comedic genius and wonderful man..

[@mikeyoungblood94]

Even in his last days, he was sharp as a tack

[@Mike4metal]

He is a Legend!❤️

[@theresaliersch5398]

Arthur 😢 thanks Jerry for all the best and funniest moments on king on queens ❤️ love from Hamburg Germany ❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@islandfocus2]

One of the best and a Legend.

[@mychalsimpson8316]

He was so original 🤣

[@paulvon2378]

Just watched Jerry in "The Taking of Pelham 123" (1974)

[@elg1959]

I bet Jerry had a million stories from all of his years in show business.

[@fashionofthechrist]

Man could he hang on to his hair! And sharp as a whip till the end

[@TheSecretWorldRules]

like watching an old friend. So many good memories😭

[@justinvanveenar2953]

Jerry stiller is like Don Rickles and tim Conway ALL ARE 🐐🐐🐐

[@vestibulate]

An insight into the mind of Ed Sullivan. On the other hand, he had no problem saluting figures like Francis Spellman and William Westmoreland.

[@jimsheldon3788]

What a character!

[@thenextdouglassbubbletrous1062]

Oh hello Douglass.

[@peacebeyondpassion2]

One of the funniest men on the Planet!

[@michaelmcvey1442]

A comedy legend

[@J.R.in_WV]

He was married to the same woman for over 50 years, until her death….in Hollywood. What a rarity, Jerry was a real treasure.

[@NeverTooLateForJesus]

I love hearing him talk out of character

[@muzictv3933]

*Serenity now*

[@joesimon2018]

Ed loved to censor everyone.

[@vestibulate]

@joesimon2018 You don't understand. In addition to being a television star, as a patriot Mr. Sullivan was intensely aware of his solemn duty to keep the mind of the American public clean and pure. That's why he saw shit everywhere he looked.

[@Tonithenightowl]

So it was about "shit" everybody caught on it was about shit but Ed ( pardon the pun) didn't think it was in good taste? That's what it sounds like to me.

[@johnrogan9420]

AL Sheppard.. Gus grissom..only 2 who actually went into space... A hoax from that point!

[@vestibulate]

@johnrogan9420 Actually, there were three. Four, depending on how you count these things. I went twice.
