Sock It To Me, Baby!

Anyone who flashes a grin upon reading that intro line no doubt remembers when saying that was still in vogue: late '60s - early '70s. I.E. - the time when "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" was on the air.

Ahh..."Laugh-In". Now there was a show that was funny, topical, goofy and even now fondly remembered for launching at least one man into falsetto superstardom (more on that later). But for now, alow me to show how much that show rocked with a clip or two.

Here's Goldie Hawn explaining some things...



A typical party scene with a typical '60s band (maybe you'll recognize them)...



Hey, they even did music videos before they were popular! Just watch....



And the guests! Oh, the guests! They even got a certain diva to sing for them. Try and do THAT, Ryan Seacrest!



So yes, they had all that and...remember that superstar I said this show launched? Well, here he is: ladies and gents, Tiny Tim!



Now THAT, my friends, is comedy with a capital "C"!

Dope out.
