- He had an operation in late January 2008 on a non-cancerous brain tumor and pulled through. Less than a day after coming home, he was re-admitted because of a ruptured aneurysm and was given a few hours to live. He survived another four months.
- Along with Carol Burnett helped mentor comedian Vicki Lawrence.
- Recreated his popular sketch role as aimless, philandering husband "Ed", the husband of "Eunice", in the Southern-fried series Mama's Family (1983) with Carol Burnett and starring Vicki Lawrence and Ken Berry. He made three guest appearances and helped direct the episodes in the first two seasons.
- Following college he tried his luck on Broadway and in nightclubs (as half of a comedy duo) but failed and had to support himself as a restaurant cashier. He finally moved to Hollywood and found success.
- The only performer to have worked on all three "Flintstones" iterations: Familie Feuerstein (1960), Flintstones: Die Familie Feuerstein (1994) and Die Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000).
- [on the success of The Carol Burnett Show (1967)] We were an ensemble, and [Carol Burnett] had the most incredible attitude. I've never worked with a star of that magnitude who was willing to give so much away.
- [in 2005 interview] It takes a certain type of person to be a television star. I didn't have whatever that is. I come across as kind of snobbish and maybe a little too bright . . . Give me something bizarre to play or put me in a dress and I'm fine.
- [on Vicki Lawrence] I don't think she knew [how] enormously talented she is.
