"I finally got the call,'we're going on the air November 1st' (1948). I said, 'OK, when do we rehearse, when do we get on camera?' He said, 'we'll let you know.' As it turned out, we went on the air November 1st with two shows. We had never been on-camera. We had only entered and looked at the studio once, and we were on television. That could never happen in any day's world but then."

"Every month during 'Good Times,' Norman Lear would say, 'I beg of you, go get some acting lessons. It would really help you,' and I would say, 'I like what I do.' Then, in the second year, I hate to say it, the laughs got so big, it was bigger than Norman Lear."
