Women in Comedy Documentary Forgot Some Super Stars

Pretty good documentary about comedy and women. I'm no expert but this history omitted the British show That Was The Week That Was, imported to the United States in 1960s. Also no mention of Laugh In which employed all men writers, 1967-73. They did showcase this long list of women on that show.

Goldie Hawn, Ruth Buzzi, Lily Tomlin, Jo Anne Worley, Barbara Sharma, Ann Elder, Judy Carne, Teresa Graves, Pamela Rodgers, Chelsea Brown, Nancie Phillips, Patti Deutsch, Lisa Farringer, Sarah Kennedy, Donna Jean Young, Mitzi McCall, Eileen Brennan, guests Zsa Zsa Gabor, Jill St. John, Pamela Austin, Carol Channing, Dinah Shore, Greer Garson, Debbie Reynolds, Phyllis Diller (4), Lena Horne. Arlene Dahl, Cher, Nanette Fabray, Connie Stevens, Janet Leigh, Nancy Sinatra, Inga Neilsen, Sandy Duncan, Sue Ane Langdon, Sally Field, Diana Ross, Mitzi Gaynor, Sivi Aberg, Kaye Ballard, Rosemary Clooney, Gina Lollobrigida, Ann Miller, more.
