It seems to be for real, so I can’t make any Paul-is-dead style jokes. Sad to hear. Reading her Wikipedia bio is illuminating - she apparently had quite a career _before_ **Laugh-In** , and not much of one afterwards (the only thing I saw her in after it was a TV commercial that riffed on her Laugh-in act). And … she was married to _Burt Reynolds_??? And before Laugh-in at that? And her real name was Joyce Audrey Botterill ---

Damn. She was one of my Laugh-In favorites. Loved her voice and her legs. I thought the sock it to me routine was lame but hey, anything to see Judy. ---

The one on Ashlee Simpson is particularly jarring since the byline on that one (and all the other ones) is “Jessica Simpson.” :eek: ---
