My Favorite Hollywood Couple

Forget Bradgelina, Posh and David Beckham, and the freaky Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

I want to see more of Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Besides for exuding compassion and a great sense of humor in every off-beat character they play, they are really great comedic actors!

Who are they? You probably know Jerry Stiller as the obnoxious dad of George Costanza and the other obnoxious dad of Carrie Heffernon on King of Queens.

Anne Meara has been on TV less but is just as hilarious playing roles like Miranda's mother-in-law in Sex and the City and Spence Olchin's mom in King of Queens.

But not only are they people of exceptional moral character, they are one of the most abiding testaments to true love in our modern age.

They met in New York as struggling young actors and married in 1954 and are still happily married today! That's amazing. And as if that wasn't enough, Jerry Stiller's memoir (published in 2000) is titled: Married to Laughter: A Love Story Featuring Anne Meara. Awwwwwww.

I love you guys, sniff.

I agree with you - they are awesome. But I'm still asking myself - how did their kid turn out so WEIRD?
