"My husband and I are kind of understudies now," said Ms. Gel- man, who stopped her regular stage performances 10 years ago when she was pregnant with the first of the couple's three children. "Christmas Eve we had what we called 'The All-Jew Review.' We had Gelman, Zuckerman, Schwartz and Kissin performing because everyone else had the night off." The couple, native New York- ers who met while in their first semester at the University of Buf- falo, get back to Michigan about once a year to visit with his broth- er Eric, sister-in-law Betsy Ap- pleton Zuckerman and their two children, Julie and David. "I think we instinctively view the world through a humorous lens," Ms. Gelman said. "I'm al- ways drawn to people who have a funny perception of the world, and I think Paul is the funniest person I've ever met. "It doesn't mean that we don't take life seriously or aren't sen- sitive. It's a coping mechanism that's done unconsciously. "Because of the profession that we have been in for so many years, we have a habit of looking at TV, making funny comments and finding that we're writing shtick. If it's good enough, it will work itself into the show." ❑ SEEN AT MARVIN'S NORMAN FRANKLIN, M.D., wife ELLEN FRANKLIN and 6-year-old son Richard; "CRAZY CLARENCE," Wonderland Music; PAM FRIEDMAN, Dental Hygienist, and son David, age 2Y; DR.
