Harris was in the first cast at the Second City. And she was in the storied comedy theater's very first sketch. Her first performance there was the opening night of the theater: Dec. 16, 1959. She sung her own comic song. The words, telling of Harris' sly self-deprecation and off-kilter warmth, were: “Everyone's in the know but me. Knows who Eisenhower has to tea. Knows what's wrong with education, specialization, automation. Are clear as to what they would have done had they been tempted by Twenty-One. Me, I'm not so sure of myself. No, I don't have it all clear. But, if you don't like your drink, the next one will taste better."
