Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In
Gary Owens joined the cast in the real first episode, as did Goldie Hawn in the third episode, who was on contract with Good Morning World at the time of the pilot. Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In (commonly simply referred to as Laugh-In) is a six-season American sketch comedy television program that aired on NBC from January 22, 1968, to March 12, 1973.
The show, hosted by comedians Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, premiered as a one-time special on September 9, 1967, and was so popular that it was renewed as a series, replacing The Man from U.N.C.L.E. on Mondays at 8 p.m. (ET). It immediately became the most watched television show in the United States.
The show’s title was a play on the 1960s hippie culture “love-ins” or the counterculture “be-ins,” phrases taken from the “sit-ins” prominent in civil rights and anti-war protests of the time. Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In was named 42nd on TV Guide’s list of the 50 greatest television shows of all time in 2002. In the inaugural episode, Dan Rowan described the show’s approach: “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to television’s first Laugh-In.” For the past few years, we’ve heard a lot about the numerous ‘ins’. There were be-ins, love-ins, and sleep-ins. This is a laugh-in, which is a state of mind. For the next hour, we just want you to sit back, laugh, and forget about the other ins. This set the show’s good-natured, cheerful, and informal tone.
