No, Jane Fonda didn't mispronounce it

[tzikeh]

The play's name is pronounced "Waiting for GOD-ot." I saw the Gate's production of it when they toured America in the mid-90s, and met Johnny Murphy, who was playing Estragon (you might know him from The Commitments). He had worked with Samuel Beckett (omg) who was very very clear that it was to be pronounced so that the characters were saying "God, oh."
