My Take
Ruth Buzzi belongs to a vanishing breed of comedians who would do absolutely anything for a laugh. Her Laugh-In years, capped by a Golden Globe and five Emmy nominations, made her a household face, but what I admire is the craft underneath the slapstick. Physical comedy that good demands precise timing and zero vanity, and she had both for decades across stage, film, and voice work. Coming from Westerly, Rhode Island, she earned a place in her state's Heritage Hall of Fame the honest way. She kept making people laugh into her mid-eighties, and that kind of lifelong commitment is something I genuinely respect.
