Tony Awards Fug Carpet: Phyllis Newman

Other than the fact that she shares a name with a Young and the Restless character, I didn’t know that much about Phyllis Newman until I Googled her and learned she’s something of a Broadway fixture and used to be on The Match Game a lot.

None of which explains why she showed up at the Tonys looking like a cross between Diane Keaton, Sally Jessy Raphael, and a priest.

Maybe I should put this post in Match Game parlance she’d understand:

HOST: At the Tony Awards, Phyllis Newman looked really crazy.

AUDIENCE: How! Crazy! Was she!?!?!

HOST: So crazy that the paparazzi begged her to bless them with her holy [BLANK].
