I remember watching the Smother Brother's Comedy Hour when I was a kid.
RIP Tom.

Tommy Smothers had a unique style of humor that I enjoyed very much. RIP Tommy.

their program succeeded by attracting younger, hipper, more rebellious viewers They were among the first Leftist entertainers spewing opinion on TV.

I saw their act live in San Diego around 1985. Tommy was such a natural comedian. R.I.P.

He did a killer Johnny Carson, too.

Hated his politics but respected his talent.
Always thought he was the younger of the two…

Nice picture. However, Dick reminds me a little of Alfred E. Neuman in that picture.

They were among the first Leftist entertainers spewing opinion on TV. That’s why CBS canceled them

I remember the Smothers brothers. I don’t remember them being controversial and by todays standards their comedy would be considered mild by comparison.

We weren’t allowed to watch that show - back in those days there was one TV and we watched whatever the grown-ups wanted.
The times I did manage to sneak a few episodes, I loved it.
RIP

I remember in 1968 when the Beatles played “Hey Jude” live on their show.
It was pretty cool.
