RIP Dick Martin!
Dick Martin, Dan Rowan, Lily Tomlin, Laugh-In are very familiar names to most of us living in the 60’s.

If not, then you might have heard your parents shout “Sock It To Me” without getting the same reaction that Dick Martin and his crew received.

Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In was very popular making stars of such people as Goldie Hawn. The comedy variety show also included Ruth Buzzi, Arte Johnson, Henry Gibson, Jo Anne Worley and announcer Gary Owens.


RIP Dick Martin!


Dick Martin, one half of the Laugh In team, died Saturday night, May 24, 2008 of respiratory complications. Dick Martin was 86 years old.

Dick Martin lost a lung when he was a teenager, leaving him to rely heavily on oxygen later in life.

RIP Dick Martin, you were truly a comedic genius!
