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

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

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

33. Thank you for posting these.
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. ![]() |

20. Damn...
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.

22. Last time I saw her was as a guest on "Stephanie Miller"
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 |

25. I only ever knew her from "Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist"
but she was a gas in that show. You can hear Katz cracking up, and he never cracked up during a bit.
(jump to 7:20 for the beginning of her segment) |

26. As a Pollack, I've lost my guiding light.
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?" |

34. This version of Match Game isn't quite on par with the original, but...
that energizer bunny question was hilarious! I was close, and so was Judy, but Vicki Lawrence nailed it. Too funny!
