Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In: Rare Blooper Reels:
HOW WE WON THE EMMY (Black/White, 9:22)
Laugh-In is as arguably the first modern television comedy series as it is paradoxically also the last hurrah of the vaudeville/old time radio format shows. The mixture was explosive, and was responsible for its becoming so very popular amongst young and old alike during the historic times of the greatest expanse of the "generation gap". A sweep of the 1968 Emmys was an immediate result of this achievement, for Outstanding Musical or Variety Program, Outstanding Musical or Variety Series and Outstanding Writing in Music or Variety. This film short celebrates the achievement, serves up some choice outtakes & takes a good-natured jab at the Smothers Brothers. [Warning - Adult Language]

HOLLYWOOD PALACE - ROWAN & MARTIN HOSTS (Color, 56:13)
Broadcast February 22 1969, this ABC variety show was banking on its future by having the hosts of television's top-rated comedy & variety show appear as hosts on this show in the hopes that it would boost sagging ratings. Had future shows been as good as this one, which was exclusively devoted to comedy acts, the producer's plans to boost ratings likely would have worked, but despite its cancellation the following year, this episode sports excellent comedy routines by Rowan & Martin themselves, Gaylord & Holiday, Betty Walker & her Magic Telephone, Irwin C. Watson, Gene Sheldon, Simmy Bow and Jackie Gayle.
ROWAN & MARTIN: SPECIAL EVENTS INTERVIEW (Color, 7:10)
A rare and wonderful 1978 television appearance by this timeless comedy duo, years after the end of Laugh-In which time can be judged by their appearance, based on an interview conducted by Dan Rowan of a famous doctor played by Dick Martin.
THE CHEVY SHOW (1963, Black/White, Episode 1: 44:01 / Episode 2: 52:10)
Powerhouse entertainers Edie Adams, Janet Blair and John Raitt star in this 1958 summer series which challenge the singing, dancing, comedic and dramatic skills of stars and guests Rowan & Martin alike. Show tunes abound, but they have an edge and immediacy that makes these performances as accessible now as it was then, and throughout the two, the harmonic humor of Dan & Dick shines as bright as their singing skills are an unexpected delight - and don't forget to seek out a surprise appearance of Edie Adams' husband, the great Ernie Kovacs!

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (often simply referred to as Laugh-In) is an American sketch comedy television program that ran for 140 episodes from January 22, 1968, to March 12, 1973, on the NBC television network, hosted by comedians Dan Rowan and Dick Martin. It originally aired as a one-time special on September 9, 1967, and was such a success that it was brought back as a series, replacing The Man from U.N.C.L.E. on Mondays at 8 pm (ET). It quickly became the most popular television show in the United States. The title of the show was a play on the 1960s hippie culture "love-ins" or the counterculture "be-ins", terms that were derived from "sit-ins" that were common in protests associated with civil rights and antiwar demonstrations of the time. Laugh-In had its roots in the humor of vaudeville and burlesque, but its most direct influences were Olsen and Johnson's comedies (such as the free-form Broadway revue Hellzapoppin'), the innovative television works of Ernie Kovacs, and the topical satire of That Was The Week That Was. The show was characterized by a rapid-fire series of gags and sketches, many of which conveyed sexual innuendo or were politically charged. The co-hosts continued the exasperated straight man (Rowan) and "dumb guy" (Martin) act which they had established as nightclub comics.
