“You’re using my act. You might as well put my photographs in the lobby too.”—Fred Allen, in a note (with accompanying bundle of pictures), to Milton Berle, “The Thief of Badgag,” quoted in Phil Berger, The Last Laugh: The World of Stand-Up Comics, Updated Edition (2000)

I was reading about Milton Berle on the "Dead Frog" comedy blog. Bob Hope was quoted as saying, "I love to sit home and watch Berle on TV and see how my jokes are doing."
I never heard of this "Dead Frog" blog before. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it.
