    Storyline

    Edit
    This show popularized a rapid style of vignette comedy show where comedy sketches, punch-lines and gags are edited together in a rapid and almost random format. Regular trademark elements included the joke wall, the dancing women painted with one-liners and the fickle finger of fate award. This series inspired such shows as Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969) and Sesame Street (1969). —Kenneth Chisholm <kchishol@execulink.com>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      It was Producer George Schlatter's wife Jolene Brand who, after listening to Aretha Franklin's "Respect" thought that "Sock It To Me" would be a good bit for the show.
    • Quotes

      Dan Rowan: [as the News of the Future anchor] Item: Washington, DC, 1988. President Ronald Reagan today denied once again that he is a candidate for the office of Governor of California.

    • Crazy credits
      The early episodes's closing credits happen while the cast tell jokes from the joke wall.
    • Alternate versions
      Many of the original one-hour shows were re-edited into two half-hour programs in the early 1980s for syndication. Often, bloopers and outtakes were used to fill out a segment, especially during the joke wall sequence which occurred at the end of each show during the closing credits. New graphics were generated for credits on re-edited endings and run in the same sequence as the originals, but were in a different font. In a few instances, there was some overdubbing, specifically where Judy Carne's "NBC, beautiful downtown Burbank" was overdubbed with, "'ello, 'ello, beautiful downtown Burbank" when she played a switchboard operator on some of the earlier shows.
    • Connections
      Edited into Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In: 25th Anniversary Reunion (1993)

    Dated, but funny sketch comedy about America
    Made when America didn't hate Richard Nixon and when it was okay to make sexist jokes because women wanted to be ogled, this show will always have something worth laughing at....it was called "liberation," baby...
