Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was a popular American television show that ran from 1967 to 1973. It was created and hosted by comedians Dan Rowan and Dick Martin and featured a revolving cast of talented comedians, musicians, and guest stars. The show was produced by George Schlatter and Ed Friendly and it quickly became one of the most successful and influential comedy shows in television history.

The show's format was unlike anything that had been done before. It was a fast-paced, irreverent sketch comedy show that was loaded with sight gags, double entendres, and political commentary. The show featured a regular cast of actors who would perform in sketches and musical acts, as well as a rotating lineup of celebrity guests who would make cameo appearances. The show's innovative style and unique humor kept audiences laughing and engaged week after week.

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was famous for its quick and sudden cutaways, where a character would abruptly say or do something outrageous, only to cut away to another sketch or gag. This gave the show a frenetic energy and made it feel like anything could happen at any moment. The show was also famous for its use of catchphrases, such as "Sock it to me!" and "You bet your sweet bippy!" which became part of the popular vernacular of the time.

One of the things that made Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In so successful was its willingness to tackle political issues and social taboos head-on. The show was on the air during a time of great social change in America, and it reflected that in its humor. The show often commented on issues such as the Vietnam War, civil rights, and women's liberation, using humor to bring attention to serious issues.

The show's musical performances were also a major attraction. The show regularly featured popular musicians and performers of the time, such as Tiny Tim, Johnny Cash, and the Mamas and the Papas. Many of these musical acts were integrated into the show's sketches, making for some truly memorable moments.

Of course, the heart of the show was its hosts, Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. The two comedians had great chemistry together, and their banter and comic timing were a big part of what made the show so enjoyable. They also took part in many of the show's sketches, often playing exaggerated versions of themselves.

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was a seminal show in the world of comedy. It was a trailblazer in its use of quick, irreverent humor, political commentary, and catchphrases. The show's influence can be felt in many of the great comedy shows that followed it, such as Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show.

Despite its relatively short run, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In remains an enduring classic of American television. It captured the spirit of a generation and left an indelible mark on the world of comedy.

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In is a series that ran for 6 seasons (141 episodes) between September 9, 1967 and on Proven Entertainment
