Laugh in was one of the funniest comedy shows from the 60s

Go to the a DVD place and buy the Best of Laugh In.
It is very much worth the money!

Oh, dear. First The Beverly Hillbillies and now Laugh-In. What is it with putting 60's TV shows on the highschool stage?

Expect a revue with plenty of quick sketches, one-liners, silliness and blackouts. Not many musical numbers in the way we know them anyway.

That's what the series was like and there's no reason to expect anything different.

Don't forget the groovy body paint. And Goldie Hawn frugging!

I'll never forget the Carson show when he had booked BOTH Judy Carne and her ex-husband Burt Reynolds. Carne's 'Laugh-In' days had long past, but Burt was at the peak of his hotness and was very much involved with Dinah Shore, who knew a thing or two about hot, hairy-chested studs.

The atmosphere was tense, but fitfully friendly as Johnny bantered with Carne about her career (going nowhere at that point...much as today), and after a few pleasantries towards Burt, she said "And how are YOU, Burt?" I hear you're seeing an OLDER woman now!"

"Yeah," said Burt with that groin-stiffening grin of his. "I've decided to go for CLASS this time."

The audience exploded in applause.

what other "hairy-chested studs" was Dinah involved with, LCZ?

She was married to George Montgomery, star of several Fox musicals and later cowboy films and TV shows. Fluent in Ukranian & Russian, he was also quite an accomplished furniture maker and carpenter. And even after their divorce in the late 1950s, they remained great friends.

As you can see, he was quite a looker.

Two kids, Melissa & John. Don't know what they do!
The picture of them in the link shows that they did not seem to inherit their parents looks. Oh well!

My momma ( not a nice lady) usta say a "rumour" that Dinah was partly of the "colored persuasion" and The kids took in that "direction" & that was the cause behind the divorce. AHH the glories of the uptight Fifties! ( & yes for the more obtuse I AM being sarcastic)

I know Dinah Shore was a Southern Jew. I don't know if she had a heritage of mixed race. I doubt it.

In the 1940s, Shore had a bluesey torch to her voice that may have made her 'suspect'. For a time, Martha Raye was also subjected to that rumour.
