Earlier today, we lost one of the most important women in comedy, Phyllis Diller, at the age of 95.
Naturally, it was not only devastating to both comedians, but also…well…pretty much anyone who enjoys laughing.
Her fellow ladies of comedy have come out to honor the late Diller, including Ellen DeGeneres, Whoopi Goldberg, Roseanne, and Joan Rivers. These four ladies shared some thoughtful words and memories of the first lady of comedy:

Couldn’t have said it better ourselves, ladies. She paved the way for so many women AND men, and her spirit and laugh will continue to inspire many more.
You will be greatly missed, Phyllis.
