Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt 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.
- Crazy creditsThe early episodes' closing credits happen while the cast tells jokes from the joke wall.
- Alternate versionsMany 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.
- ConnectionsEdited into Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in: 25th Anniversary Reunion (1993)
Featured review
One Ringy Dingy, Two Ringy Dingy
"Laugh-In" was a solid mix of one liners, sight gags, and other forms of sketch comedy. Designed to be a satire of its times, "Laugh-In" is probably better remembered for its catch phrases, including "Sock it to me," "Very interesting," and "Here come da judge, here come da judge." And let's not forget The Groaning Wall. The variety series was hosted by Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, and launched the careers of Goldie Hawn, Richard Dawson, and Steve Martin. After six years on the air, "Laugh-In" bowed out of the prime time spotlight. Now if only Some Newer Latenight variety show had the same common sense to quit while it was ahead.
