- This may be the first TV appearance by LILY TOMLIN in May of 1969 on the New York based Joan Rivers' short lived talk show, before her appearance on MUSIC SCENE in Sept '69 which ran for only 17 weeks....
Not that Lily's career didn't go perfectly well, but had she been born about 10 years later I imagine she might have been an early (or original) cast member of SNL. She's so brilliant.
Lily Tomlin is brilliant...
Brilliant! Her characters are so believable. She’s a Genius! And an incredible comedian and actress!
She's amazing!
This was around the time of Laugh-In so Lily had been on television, right? But this might be a first talk show appearance. I will say that I've never seen this monologue and I've seen Lily in person many times - starting with Appearing Nightly, her first Broadway show. I recognize the 'foremost beauty expert' but this woman and the words I don't recall. It takes balls to be sitting on a talk show, be asked to go into a four minute monologue and do it - while the other guests are sitting next to you. There's no one like Lily (and Jane)! Thank so much for posting this.
She sure was a looker. I think shes also beautiful now, but man she is truly a gorgeous woman here
Her First Appearance was the Gary Moore Show.
She did this routine on Merv Griffin's show and it appeared as a black & white video tape many years later on a tv retrospective of her work. I don't know if it had any particular year to it but there is that possibility that it was prior to this appearance on Joan's local show.
she appeared on Merv Griffin's early NYC syndicated talk show before this where she did Ernestine as this character without costume or make up. one of her appearances is on you tube...or was.
Lily's first TV appearance was on Merv Griffin in 1965 or thereabouts.
The line "Go and visit Darth Vader" indicates it is 1977 or later. Look at
lil took a huge influence from Elaine May.
Lily Tomlin's comedy has always made me smile, but rarely makes me laugh.
This is dreadful. I remember her being so much funnier than this. I guess it was funny, once, but didn't hold up.
