Doesn't matter really

I learned to play the accordion and won state championships.
Yes there were accordion tournaments, back in the day.

RIP Judy

Those "In Memorian" segments at the end of the year or at next year's Oscars are gonna be LOOOOOONNNNNNNG.

…working clubs in the Chicago burbs. I never saw a show but my brother and his buddies were big fans.

from “On Location: Women of the Night,” HBO. 1987.

Part 1

I can’t believe how much I remembered, like the fact that she had her own religion - Judyism.

She could still crack me up...

Be well...

I've only heard her when she came on the Stephanie Miller Show. Not recently though. That's a great clip.

Now there was one lady who sure wasn't afraid to do her own thing!

was her usual greeting to the audience when she walked out on stage.

Comedy was trending hot on TV back in the '80s and Judy Tenuta was among the best. I'm so sorry not to have seen her in later years. She's the kind of "petite flower" who sticks with you; you can't forget her brand of humor once you've heard it.

She lived a full life, but still seems gone too soon. She was amazing, and she will be missed.

Too young. Too young. She was a funny woman.

Quite a eulogy.

An even better person.

She was the opening act when I saw her. As a male who was late to his seat sauntered down the aisle, she stopped and said "way to be on time slime". Anyone who toured with George Carlin is okay in my book.

she was hilarious on the show and I looked up some of her old routines-- genius. RIP.

I always thought she was funny as hell, cool, quirky, and cute. Had a crush on her for years.

Stephanie and Judy were dear friends and may take part of her show tomorrow to address this big loss

I loved her comedy in the 90's, but hadn't heard her name in years. RIP.

but she was a gas in that show. You can hear Katz cracking up, and he never cracked up during a bit.

Her humor leaves a hole in my heart that will not be easy to fill.
Considering the maggots and human stinkbugs (lookin' at you Jr) who survive I ask "Why? Why Judy?"

This is a later version of Match Game, she was never on the original. this was a famous blooper...RIP.

That is all...

that energizer bunny question was hilarious! I was close, and so was Judy, but Vicki Lawrence nailed it. Too funny!

And it happened quite a lot.

Farewell sweet comedienne.

It's been a long time since I've heard her name but I remember her as someone quirky and very charming.

RIP Judy, you were hilarious!
