Description

Join Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In as we revive comedian Slappy White's 1972 satirical campaign for vice president as it played out on the sketch comedy show. Find out where he stands on the issues as Larry Hovis interviews the stand-up comedian who started out on the Chitlin Circuit with Redd Foxx and later joined him again on SANFORD AND SON and REDD FOXX SHOW. He also became well-known for his work on the Friars' Club Roasts.

Hosted by Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, this groundbreaking sketch comedy show was a fast-moving barrage of jokes, one-liners, running skits, and musical numbers. The groundbreaking, Emmy Award-winning show, created by George Schlatter, premiered in January, 1968 and ran until March, 1973.

A group of regulars including Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin, Jo Anne Worley, Ruth Buzzi, Arte Johnson, Henry Gibson, Judy Carne, Alan Sues, Chelsea Brown, and Gary Owens--plus frequent guests like Barbara Feldon, Flip Wilson and Don Rickles left a lasting impression on America.
