  • Pat Paulsen's emotional appeal just days before the Presidential election.
    The Smothers Brothers
    The Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick, are one of the most iconic comedy duos in the history of television. Tom and Dick began performing as a duo in the late 1950s, playing in coffeehouses and clubs in San Francisco. Their act consisted of music, comedy, and witty banter, which quickly gained them a following.
    The Smothers Brothers became a household name in the late 1960s with their variety show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. The show was groundbreaking in its approach to comedy, pushing the boundaries with political satire and social commentary. The show also featured up-and-coming musical acts, including The Doors and The Who, and introduced the world to comedians like Steve Martin and George Carlin.
    The Smothers Brothers' irreverent style has made them a beloved and enduring force in American comedy.

    Got to meet Dick Smothers in Sarasota FL. Great guy and nice as anything. He later in gave me an autograph picture of him and Tommy. I cherish the picture reminds me of my childhood watching the show with my big brother who has passed away. It makes me smile. Thanks to the Smother Brothers and Pat Paulsen.

    Oh Dear! Wait a minute while I wipe my tears away!
    Oh Tommy Smothers you " MR. YOYOMAN" were my favorite brother!
    💞🙏🏻
    I remember the TV nights when our family would pile into the den to watch " The Smothers Brothers Show"!.
    It was an hour of truly edgy 60'S entertainment.
    I remember the night your show had been canceled by the station for pushing the envelope. I think it was about your protesting of the War the US was sending boy's to in Vietnam!? We were heartbroken losing your show!
    But a few years later along came ROWEN MARTIN'S LAUGH IN TV and they BROKE all the TV regulations!
    So thankfully they Brought you and Dick on as guest's!
    Thanks for teaching us YOYO TRICKS and to always to "QUESTION AUTHORITIES"!
    REST in PEACE and LOVE forever TOMMY!
    I Thank both of you brother for truly touching my heart and soul as a pre-teen and affected my direction in life.
    🕊❤💫🕯🎶🧿🙏🏻

      I'd give you crap for being one of the 150,000-200,000+ voters each year that throw their votes away, but in case I don't blame you. I think one candidate is clearly a worse person than the other, but the choice is like getting stabbed because someone who doesn't know how they got there dropped a dagger on your foot when they fell asleep, or getting stabbed in the foot by someone holding a bloody sword while trying to convince you that they were innocent and it was really your irksome elderly neighbor who did it.

    This is an amazing artifact. I used to watch the smothers brothers every week, and I remember Pat Paulsen telling people really not to vote for him. The election was two days from then, and ... what I do remember is that within a few months of Nixon winning the election this show was toast. One Sunday night I turned on the tv and there was HeeHaw. What?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was mad and sad.

    Every election year he would be on our local radio stations still running for president.

I sure do miss hearing him. R.I.P. Mr. Paulsen.

      Well, I am embarrassed to admit, Richard Nixon was so angered by the Smothers Brothers jokes and jibes that he ORDERED them to be removed from broadcast. OK, the party disavows but that is the historical fact. (quiet cough, then talking a bit louder as if for a mic) And I sure am glad that in the 21st century we have always enjoyed *totally* free expression and speech, unless it's something bad the government knows is bad for us!
