Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In: Episode #36

« prev episode next » episode

The show started with a couple jokes about the Hong Kong flu and some short bits. Gary introduced the show as Laugh-In & Martin's Rowan. More short bits followed, as well as Dick reminiscing about his old neighborhood and Potpourri. Then more short bits, a sketch involving the word 'transmitter,' some one-liners and short bits, and the debut of We Can't Top This. Following was Gladys and Tyrone, the Discovery of the Week, the Weir Brothers as an orchestra, and a second helping of Gladys and Tyrone. Next was more short bits, the orchestra and the news. Ann Miller joined the girls in a Busby Berkley-type dance number, Dan called Dick 'Ducky' and also imitated Goldie introducing the future news. Then more short bits, the party, which was all about books, more short bits, a fey song from Arte, the orchestra, and more short bits. Next was Sock It To Me Time, Goldie confusing Dick Smothers with Dan, Dick saying he had to leave early to tend to a female friend, a Letter To Laugh-In, a poem by Henry, the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award, more short bits, the good nights, where everyone said 'Ducky' instead of 'Dick', the joke wall and the last short bits.

Each of the girls (including Ruth as Gladys) said they admired James very much and would like to shake his hand, but it always wound up with them kissing him. Alan said it also, but all he did was ring his bell and say he was kidding. edit »
The short bits included Dick as an ice cream man, Goldie as a bank teller with Dan as a robber, the Weir Brothers as monks trying to ring bells, Alan trying to open the front door of a house, people around a park bench and the girls doing the 'I admire you very much and would like to shake your hand' ploy on James. edit »
