Larry Kart Posted October 7, 2022 Report Posted October 7, 2022 I think I gave Judy her first review (in the Chicago Tribune) way back when. She was very funny , smart, and inventive. Quote
JSngry Posted October 7, 2022 Report Posted October 7, 2022 Not a favorite of mine, but that's a matter of taste. Objectively, she had serious skills and made a real contribution. She should have been tapped to do a Sarah Palin. she had the face. RIP Quote
Bill Nelson Posted October 7, 2022 Report Posted October 7, 2022 In '86, I was given front row tix for a comic "you just gotta see". When I realized Tenuta's act included frequent 'razzing' nearby audience members, I bailed out before showtime. Quote

Expand Bill, I saw her on TV a number of times about that time, and that seemed to be 90% of her act! She was scary! Quote
Larry Kart Posted October 7, 2022 Report Posted October 7, 2022 Emo Philips took to Twitter on October 6 to express his feelings about losing Judy. “My favorite Judy Tenuta story: after a show, the comic who opened for her is driving her to their next gig; as they’re passing cornfields at 2 AM he asks, ‘So what did you think of my act’ & she replies, ‘Ask me again when we get a bit closer to town.'” Quote
