I need the perfect female comedian to play in a skit I am playing two parts and have decided to make them both famous comedians. This will be performed in front of an audience of middle-aged people. I want one to be male and one to be female.
The male will be Rodney Daingerfield or possibly Larry the Cable Guy.
The female has to be recognizable, at least in voice and mannerism. Costume doesn't matter, because I'm going to be the biggest floozy you ever saw no matter what.
Female comedians that DON'T work are Sarah Silverman and Kathy Griffin, so don't suggest them. No one in this audience will know who Sarah Silverman is, and this won't be a show with cursing in it. And there's no way I would ever play Kathy Griffin.
Lucille Ball or Roseanne come to mind. Maybe Lily Tomlin, although I don't think I can carry her. She was too good and too unique.
So hit me with your best ideas. And remember the key word - FAMOUS.
Thanks!

Roseanne was the first one that popped into my head.
Oh! What about Charo? That could be hilarious! We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Wanda Sykes! But she'd be hard to do, her voice is very distinctive. Even when she plays is straight in a movie, her voice cracks me up | |
