Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara began their teamwork in the Compass Players in Chicago, and performed with several troupes in Chicago, St. Louis and New York, where they moved into Greenwich Village.

Stiller and Meara have spent decades entertaining audiences with their clever writing and obvious chemistry. They've appeared in many, many shows including sitcoms, variety shows and specials over the years. It's very interesting to see them in their relatively early years on Ed Sullivan or the Flip Wilson Show performing in sketches in front of live audiences.

More recently Jerry Stiller has become even more famous for his roles on Seinfeld and King of Queens. Anne Meara has been active as well and recently appeared in an episode of King of Queens with her real life husband (Jerry, in case you hadn't figured that out).

Their love affair continues and can be read about in the book, Married to Laughter, by Jerry Stiller. If you would like to purchase this book, you can do so from Amazon by clicking here.

Another great addition to the comedy world that they have spawned, is their actual spawn. Ben Stiller, star of many movies as well as the Ben Stiller Show, is their son.
