When he said "We're not married Faye, are we ?" he meant to each other. Ernie & Edie were so great together. Ernie was so ahead of his time. He was beyond being great. Watch them on The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour as special guests. He was my Dads favorite. Watch Edies guest appearance w David Letterman from 1982 . A local station was using some of Ernie's old shows to tape over the news Edie found out about this & bought those left back. I get sick when I think of what all may have been lost on those tapes.I understand it was she & JACK LEMMON who were The Nairobi Trio. Jack also identified Ernie after his tragic car crash when Edie was too traumatized by the shocking news. Another genius lost too soon I think of all the great laughs we all missed. Most importantly the sadness for Edie.
I think the joke was that they weren't married to each other like the other two panelists that night, Edie and Ernie. They were both married to other people however..
