Telling on myself now, but I remember watching Laugh-In. That show broke boundaries and touched on subjects on network TV no one would dare put on these days.
The celebrity salute to Laugh-In called Still Laugh-In aired in 2019.
It is amazing how many legendary, award-winning stars appeared on the original show. Orson Welles, Frank Sinatra, and a very young Robin Williams are among the many.
The original Laugh-In produced some of the most incredible comedians who went on to become household names like Lily Tomlin, Ruth Buzy, Goldie Hawn, Artie Johnson, JoAnn Worley, Dan Rowan, Dick Martin, and so many others.
Had there been no Laugh-In, we might never have had Saturday Night Live.
What, if anything, did you like about Laugh-In?

I don't know this show but I remember seeing documentaries about some of our early comedy shows. A lot were recorded live. It was so different back then.

I thought Lily Tomlin as Edith Ann and Ernestine was hysterical. Not sure why, but she always made me laugh, which was the point of watching the show. I loved it. I really, really loved the old Saturday Night Live shows, the Coneheads, many other skits were so funny, the shark, Wayne's World, Two Wild and Crazy Guys....I just thought they were all so fun to watch. Gilda was a true favorite of mine.

I loved that show, there were so many I liked on that show. I liked Henry Gibson, Tyrone the dirty old man, and Ruth Busby. I just loved the whole show. It was a HOOT.
