I took her out for coffee. She seemed to sense I had no money, so she just ordered coffee. Then she took all the silverware. I picked up her check for 10 cents and thought, ‘This is a girl I’d like to hang out with.’
~ Jerry Stiller relating how he met his wife, Anne Meara, to the Associated Press ~
Never heard of him and now it’s too late!

Oh Fraggle. He and his wife Anne Meara were representatives of true American classic comedy. They were also the parents of actor/comedian Ben Stiller. You should definitely go checkout more of their clips on YouTube.

Beautiful tribute…what an Actor! I shared this – I’ll always remember the scene in “Seinfeld” when he says to Elaine: “you want a piece of me?” And the entire cast keeps laughing, and he actually gets a bit frustrated with them because he’s a pro and pros get it right!

I don’t watch much television, but I have seen every Seinfeld episode ever made. The cast of characters was top notch. Another one of my favorites besides the “Serenity Now” episode you reference was the one where Kramer and Frank go into the bra business for men.🤣🤣🤣

I knew of him, but not well. I didn’t know he was Ben Stiller’s dad.
Nice tribute to an American favourite, Kim.
Best wishes, Pete,.

I was so bummed out when I found out he passed away yesterday morning! I’m still watching “King of Queens” reruns! He was also funny on “Seinfeld.”

So great. Burns and Allen. Nichols and May. But Stiller and Meara is my personal favorite team. Alone or together they were both great.
