who coined the term that's what she said
Said the actress to the bishop By 1973, "that's what she said" had already been characterized as an "ancient one-liner".[6] In the early 1990s, it was popularized as a recurring joke in the Saturday Night Live sketch "Wayne's World". In the movie of the same name, the character, Wayne Campbell, uses the phrase after his partner Garth says, "Hey, are you through yet? 'Cause I'm getting tired of holding this", in regard to a picture he is holding.[2] An 1896 recording by Len Spencer of the song "All Coons Look Alike to Me" includes the suggestive line[original research?] "That's what she said, yeah."[7]
