Phyllis Diller, the zany housewife-turned-stand-up comic with the electrified hairdo, outlandish wardrobe and a barrage of self-deprecating jokes punctuated by her trademark laugh, has died. She was 95.
Diller, whose career in comedy clubs spanned nearly 50 years, died in her sleep Monday at her long-time home in Brentwood, said her agent, Fred Wostbrock.

Still, he’d do the laugh if you asked.
I think he looked at it as a launching-off point for his career, but he was such a wonderful actor, into the more serious stuff,
longtime friend Stacy Sacco said of Horshack, the goofy class cut-up and rebellious Sweathog that Mr Palillo played on the 1970s series Welcome Back, Kotter, alongside series creator and actor Gabe Kaplan and a young John Travolta.
