In burlesque,a good straight man was actually paid more than the comic. _________________ What will be will be even if it never happens.

I put down Margaret Dumont. She's often overlooked. And she had to be one of the best sports in the movies for playing opposite the Marx Brothers so often. _________________ The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls who, when he found an especially costly one, sold everything he had to buy it.

In recent years, Bob Newhart has made appearances on The Big Bang Theory and his deadpan replies are as great as ever. _________________

Bob Newhart playing the 'guy on the telephone' was a straight man that didn't even need a fellow comic to be hilarious. _________________ Because life is a treasure. —Dave Powell
