Movie Description
Dan Rowan and Dick Martin produced an innovative strain of TV comedy in the late 1960s with their LAUGH-IN shows, encapsulated in BEST OF ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN. This three-disc box set contains six hour-long comic romps, spanning the years 1968-1970, which marked the era with a quirky brand of universal comedy and attracted an unshakeable audience. The laughs kept coming in a relentless fury, compliments of cast members Lily Tomlin, Goldie Hawn, Henry Gibson, Gary Owens, Alan Suhs, JoAnne Worley, Arte Johnson, and many more. In addition, hosts Rowan and Martin invited a wide variety of eclectic guests to appear, such as Cher, John Wayne, Joey Bishop, Jack Lemmon, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr., and Richard Nixon, all of whose presence lends these shows a strong period flavor.
