- Jack Lemmon tells his favorite joke in which an actor keeps a diary about being an unknown actor. In the first entry, he writes about not complaining about being an unknown actor as he will be the opening act in a theatre. In the second entry, he drank the ink.

Jack Lemmon couldn't even tell a joke without being a good actor...he is sorely missed.
The other actor on the stage drank the ink instead of writing everything down like he was supposed to and got more attention than the man writing the diary entries so he didn't make a break through after all and continued to write in his diary as he was still not famous.
A chicken and an egg are sitting in bed. The egg is leaning back smoking a cigarette, and the chicken says "WELL! I guess we know the answer to THAT question!"
I once went to a play where two people were playing a dog owner and a dog and I believe it's kind of like this joke, because no matter how witty the monologues of the owner were, the other actor would just bark, or "woof", or kick dirt in him with incredible on-stage attitude.
the character upstage was using ink, and he UPSTAGED him by drinking it, its about someone else stealing your limelight
At the beginning. LEGS!
What you wrote is not at all how the joke goes!! And why write a (bad) summary of the joke at all? I was just hoping you said who that guy is doing the intro, but I figured it out. It's Robert Urich.
"he drank the ink"? jack's right. i didn't get that joke at all. but drinking ink is ALWAYS funny! (don't try that at home kids.)
the way he delivers a joke is brilliant love him
Actors are very egotistical and thus very jealous of moments in a play when the audience's attention is supposed to be riveted on them. Another actor who draws that attention away is not appreciated. So in this case the bit player stole the scene by drinking the ink. It is a joke that primarily actors would understand and empathize with.
Jack Lemmon was a very talented actor and comedian and loved by millions Period!!!!!
A True actor. Brilliant in every thing he did. Will always be a favorite of mine.
Jack Lemmon played along Kevin Spacey, Bethel Leslie and Peter Gallagher in Eugene O'Neill's famous play, Long Day's Journey Into Night, and he was absolutely SUPERB, as well as the other three who were also SUPERB. AMAZING chemistry in play, amongst and between the four of them, played out in a single living parlor. An incredible dialogue. One of Jack's finest performances. Made in 1987.
I love this
Gotta love the fact that Jack Lemmon's has in his office a loving photograph of . . . JACK LEMMON !
JUST THE BEST GUY..I WORKED WITH JACK ON "THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER", TV SPECIAL..JACK HALEY, JR PRODUCTION..5/12/2020..JE
I have never heard of this series. I landed on a gold mine! So good.
It's funnier to an actor, because it's so true to life. Best laid acting plans so easily go awry, are undone by simple, unexpected things. All this unsung actor's elaborate plans, high and low moments in a major role throughout this long play -- his emergence into fame -- all upstaged by the simple action of a silent extra at the end of the show. No, folks, the old man didn't die. He simply drank the ink, no doubt resulting in audience gasps, endless guffaws, and the old man's stealing the headline in the next days' reviews. And the joke gets an extra kick by the extreme brevity of the second diary entry. No doubt an actor hearing this joke knows what's coming, and has been trying, unsuccessfuly, to predict how the diarywriter's expectations will come to nought. That's the joke -- the long story's tension is surprisingly released by the short, abrupt punch line, with no explanation required: "He drank the ink."
I believe that Jack Lemmon was the most versatile motion picture film star of the 20th century.
forever in my top 5 actors of all time
