Well, given the competition, probably not, but it is safe to say that her outrageous, bitchy brand of humor has earned her the title of the funniest woman in the country. When she is host of the Tonight show, which she now is more than anyone else except Johnny Carson, she sometimes outdraws the man himself in the ratings.

...haunts. But at 7:30 p.m., Bergvall is once more in the departmental library, this time to lead a review section on syntax for General Education 109; "Language and Human Nature." The previous night, she spent three hours working with a student on the fine points of Mohawk syntax.
