Lewis is British.  Canadian at best!  Why does he have a USA flag?

Wait, which Diller are we talking about? Phyllis?

Yes. I gave a list of some of the people I've worked with in the past 20-odd years:

"I've worked with Leslie Neilsen, Kiefer Sutherland, Meghan Followes, Phyllis Diller, Peter O'Toole (PETER FREAKING O'TOOLE!)..."

Sportsmen? Are you serious? They're called athletes. I had no idea people here were such nerds.

@congrandolor: Which books have you written?  Just curious.

@blueemu: Other than Diller (who I only know the name of, but nothing more), I have never heard of any of those people, lol.
