Hosted by Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, the comedy team "from beautiful downtown Burbank" Laugh-In was known for its rapid-fire series of gags and sketches, many of which contained sexual innuendo, were politically charged, or just plain silly. An instant TV classic, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was one of those rare programs that was not only highly innovative, but was also an overnight sensation. It created dozens of stars and was a trendsetter in the TV comedy genre. The wacky series provided a contemporary, unstructured, fast-paced comedy which was exactly what an agitated America wanted.
