Lily Tomlin as Ernestine the Telephone Operator

[Tambora]

In the early 80's Ernestine was one of my favorite characters that made me laugh a lot!
Lily Tomlin created this character for the old T.V. show Laugh In.

Here is a 20 minute video of Joan Rivers (hosting the Johnny Carson Tonight Show) and interviewing Lily Tomlin as her character "Earnestine".
