Lily Tomlin

Lily Tomlin is a well-known actress who made her first television appearance in 1969 on The Merv Griffin Show. She is often associated with two characters she created for Laugh-In which have stayed with her throughout her career: Ernestine, a gum-chewing, wisecracking, snorting telephone operator whose famous line was "One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy;" and Edith Ann, a five-year-old child often seen in an oversized rocking chair making rude noises. She has most recently appeared in a recurring role on NBC's The West Wing.
