This is funny on so many levels, it is just amazing. I keep coming back to this. So good and funny and smart! Don't see that so much anymore. I'm not surprised she got a standing ovation :D.
I guess people viewing this know all of the connections: his full name is Michael Igorevitch Peschkowsky, he and Elaine May used to collaborate, and appeared as Nichols and May (comedy team), and , of course, Diane Sawyer is his wife.
mike nichols is incredibly overrated. The Graduate was a basically a Joe Sarno flick with deep focus and a rock soundtrack. BFD. ( Look up Joe Sarno for more info.)
EFFORTLESSLY BRILLIANT 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!
Love those two together. And all improvised.
I can see why she was so good on the radio...fantastic delivery!
Absolutely brilliant. Where is ANYONE like her and this REAL comedy today? Very sad.

Genius! ❤️
how genious is that? AMAZING!!! loved it
One of the Grand Dames of Comedy.....this is the conclusion.
oh the esoteric and enigmatic brilliance of Elaine May.
Elaine gave such a brilliant story....
Very clever in the end....
Let there be no question that Elaine May has still got it.
That is one of the funniest speeches I've ever heard.
Incredibly funny.
Even the dress is a running gag with her. She wore the same outfit when she spoke at Warren Beatty's AFI Tribute. She's just a national treasure.
I just don’t want to take out the wrong thing😂
Wonderful channel excellent vídeo.
Thank you!

Elaine May makes Ricky Gervais sound petty.
@nimasha83
You're funny.
Thanks...I needed that!!!!
Pardon, but what's the mark on her hand? Her speech's outline? :)
@nimasha83 OK now I an absolutely sure you are kidding. :) I'll give you this though, his wife Milena was from Serbia actually.
@nimasha83 you are kidding, right???
Devastatingly funny. I'd love to party with her
@nimasha83 Jesus! How can you not know who he is???? PLEASE just google him!
Do not watch this version. Someone inexplicably butchered the original. Here's the full 7-minute version: ruclips.net/video/AgjBxiDmJyU/видео.html
I don't get it
genius comedian
Not the whole speech - the rest is just as funny
I'm sure Elaine May's speech was plenty funny enough without this lame laugh track.
