Among my mom’s favorites! And although _The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour_ aired a few years before I was born, she owned many of their l.p.’s, so growing up in the 1970s I was able to laugh along to those on our family’s little record-player. And people were still talking about and referencing the Smothers Brothers for much of my childhood, plus my grandmother and my great-aunt loved them too … so the Smothers Brothers’ influence spans generations! What a force for good they are. For as long as is needed, may they continue to inspire.
My brother began working with Jennifer Warnes in the late 70s. When I met her I told her how jealous I had been that she got to sing with Donovan. I also told her I therefore resented "Jennifer Juniper". She laughed and let me know it wasn't about her, it was about Patti Boyd's sister Jenny. Oops.
RIP Tommy Smothers. Yours was a life well lived!

Thank you Tommy.
I looked forward to seeing the Smothers Brothers every week. RIP Tommy
What a gem. ❤
Great episode! Love their series.
David Bianculli talks of this episode on the Fresh Air podcast.
I kinda wish it was 1968. And knew one very important bit of information.
That youth doesn't last forever?

Sound?
What's the point of posting this video when there isn't sound with it? Duh...!
Had video and audio in October 2024.
No sound!!! What a disappointment!! Donovan n George Harrison, what a show that would have been!!! Aggravating!!!
