Laugh-In's pilot captured the mood of the country that was expressed by marches, protesting acts of society… only we did it funnier. Rowan and Martin star in the very first all-comedy show with music, blackouts, cameo appearances, and endless surprises.

This became THE SHOW for the young generation ! You couldn't wait for it each week. So many cast members became huge stars. What a great time it was !
I was 11 years old when this pilot show aired. This brings back many very fond memories I have from growing up in the 1960s and 1970s.
Now I want one of those 21 jewel Timex watches!
All these folks had an incredible amount of talent. Great show.
This Was Regular TV At It's Best.
When I was a kid this is one of the shows my family would gather around the TV to watch. Loved it. It was great comedy. Sadly there are none like them anymore. Goldie Hawn may be the last one living. No one sings like them anymore.
I believe we still have Ruth Buzzi and Joanne Worley, too.
But yes, what remarkable comedic talent!
Joanne Worley is still alive. She's 84
@@tonystracener9078 Joanne Worley got a joke past THE CENSORS. She held up a pair of big glass bottles and said "JUGS".
Same here , I was 9 years old and we had a big family... my father really loved this show .
It was so crazy ; I remember they even had Richard Nixon on saying
" Sock it to me ? "
It seems like they got away with a lot .
Veery eenteresteeng ...
He would say dressed as a Nazi ... you knew that was their way of making fun of the government and the sensors ... they knew they were being watched and they would try to see what they could get away with .
You could tell they had so much fun on this show
@@gardensofthegods They had some iconic people do the "Sock it to Me" line, that was one of the most anticipated moments, WHO might show up and do the "Sock it to Me" line. But when someone like Nixon or any major politician comes on, people take notice!
All these years later and I am still laughing so hard I'm crying!!! 😅 I'm praying for Ruth. She has suffered a series of strokes recently. 🙏
My grandparents were in Vietnam , when this show aired (66-68!), My parents were born eight years after this show. I just stumbled on this just now. Facinating things back then!
Didn't Laugh in start in 1968?
@@mamacindyrogofsky495this was the pilot, which aired in September '67.
Love the Timex bumpers at the beginning and end of the show. The Timex commercials make this seem more like a time capsule. One that aired on NBC 55 years ago.
Of course, "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" would become a regular series 4 months later in January,1968.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
You bet your sweet bippy.😆
BTW, I ordered the complete series from Time-Life. They chose to cut out the Timex bumpers and eliminate one of the Timex commercials. Boooooo.
Even President Nixon Was There Saying, "Sock It To Me!"
I grew up near Burbank and in 1968 when I got my first car at 17 I would go to a lot of Laugh In tapings. Surprisingly they weren't well attended. Always under 100 in a studio that would seat about 250.
One time between skit setups I went to the vending matchings that were in the service corridor and there in front of me at the candy machine was Goldie Hawn in a bikini. I wanted to say something but I was at a loss for words. Many times between setups I would wander the backstage corridors right pass a lot of celebrities and no one said anything or tried to stop me. Bob Hope, Danny Thomas, Sammy Davis Jr, Carrol Burnett name some. I know that couldn't happened today. Different era.
How wild that was for you! I grew up watching this show. The world was so different then and it's so different now. I miss the spirit and fun during those incredible times of politics and war and social changes. People had a kind of hope that doesn't exist today. Famous people back then saw themselves as being more down to earth back then unlike today...but the world today isn't as safe and simple as it used to be, and celebrities see themselves as elite and special. Thanks for sharing your far-out memories.
What a great experience!
Although I thought that Laugh-In was the funniest thing I'd ever seen when I was 13, I don't recall this pilot episode--so thanks to the Shout! Factory for posting it. Ruth Buzzi's "Audubon" song is a gem. And, thankfully, Ruth and Jo Anne Worley (plus guest star Barbara Feldon) are still with us. The rest, I hope, are having one heck of a Cocktail Party on Cloud 9.
I always enjoyed Ruth Buzzi, but her bird song was a revelation. She was amazing. I’m surprised that become a standard performance number for her.
Ruth Buzzi, Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin, and JoAnn Worley are all still alive.
MS
Every single woman on this show were absolutely amazing, incredibly talented, insanely funny, and so beautiful all it their own style and graceful way. Okay not always graceful, but always hilarious and talented! Joanne Worley, Goldie Hawn, Ruth Buzzi, and so many more. I actually had forgotten that Lily Tomlin was a part of the cast. But as I said before I was born in 1967 so I have many "gaps" in my memories of this show. I a, thankful that they show it on Decades📺TV📺, a station I accessed with just an antenna. The one issue? They show it at 6am. THANKFULLY however my sleep patterns have changed and I'm now up every morning around 4-5am. They used to have MeTV here as well but for some moronic reasons they dropped it and instead brought THREE QVC channels? WTH! WHY? One is BAD, two is horrendous, but THREE? OMG! That got me to change my 📺TV📺 show picks and again THANKFULLY I found Decades and Laugh‐In! I wish it was on more often however.
The pilot aired late on Saturday evening, September 9, 1967. I remember 1967 quite well, but have no recollection of the pilot being promoted.
What a wonderful Christmas treat. Merry Christmas everyone.
😶
I seem to recall the first show started out with Gary Owens saying, with hand over one ear in the old radio style, “And in lively black & white here’s Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In”! This was the show before the series started
I remember seeing the Laugh In pilot and thought it was the funniest show I had ever seen. I loved the series that followed, but I've never seen the pilot since.
Love this show.
Good seing this tv pilot of a now classic tv show. This was a ground breaking show at the time and still holds up well today to some extent!
This was quite out there when I watched it in the UK 1960s. Probably influenced lots of TV comedy in the 1970s. And the Muppets.
This show was also very popular in the UK. it was a must-see show and was always talked about the day after
In 60''s I loved this and laughed so hard. Now I'm 79 and still Laugh. No politics, profanity', or hate.
Just fun..🥰
No politics? Weren't you WATCHING this program?????
@@jasonbeard4713 they were political puns for jokes. Like the old fashion celebrity roasts. Not like late night talk shows of today, the View, or even the Emmy's and Academy awards are today where they are out for blood and to attack and destroy!
One important cast member not in this special was deep voiced announcer Gary Owens, who joined "Laugh In" when it became a weekly series, and remained through the entire five and a half season run.
The only other cast members who stayed with the show through the entire run were Dan Rowan, Dick Martin, and Ruth Buzzi, all of whom were in this special.
I thought Arte Johnson was a “lifer” on the show too. He’s certainly synonymous with it, and I can’t think of anything else he’s associated with in the popular consciousness (of those who would actually remember him) besides “Laugh-In.” I looked up his filmography and he was in 89 of the 141 shows that were broadcast.
@@inkyguy. I think Arte was a regular through season 3 but came back for appearances in season 5, as well as a few other early season regulars. Season 5 was one of the best in my opinion. All of the newer regulars , the "overlappers" and returns of originals.
I used to watch that show every Monday night. Never saw the pilot until I picked up the first season on DVD a few years ago. The show was shot on videotape, but because the tapes were hand-edited and spliced, they were preserved. Although it was common practice to reuse videotapes whenever possible because of the prohibitively high cost, once a tape was physically edited, it could not be reused.
And Dick Martin said when they were ready to transfer them to a more durable medium, they did it in the nick of time, as those splices were a hair's-breath away from failing...
@@batterymakermarkii2654 They had to do a lot of resplicing. Luckily those episodes have survived and are in good shape.
I don't know anything about how splicing video tape works, but now I'm curious to know. I just assumed the original tapes were saved, because they could still use them for future reruns. Unlike game show episodes, which they knew were never going to air again. Thus the tapes were wiped clean and reused. 😊
@@oldiesgeek454 Back, then those 2" quadruplex tapes were hand edited with a razor blade and splicing tape. The prevailing attitude was, no one would be interested in seeing a show or sporting event again.
Thanks for showing this--the show got better as it went along--cracked up at Ruth Buzzi's Ladybird song.
‼️ That was amazing!
Women weren't afraid to be funny on this show. Today, they want to be taken seriously! BOO-O
I had never seen her "rendition" of the Ladybird 🎵🎶song🎶🎵, and it was comedic brilliance! The look on Dick's face was priceless and hilarious! I KNEW Ruth Buzzi was extremely talented, but WOW her voice was absolutely amazing! Albeit a goofy and funny song, her voice was beautiful!
Back when television was great.
✌❤
Well it WAS 1967 after all! This was a pilot show too...and fortunately the format evolved! I became an obsessed fan of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In to the point where I created the Gag Wall out of cardboard and put on a puppet show using the TV Show albums for the sound track. My parents and little sister provided the audience...
Shout! Factory is a blessing.
My favorite part of the show The flying fickled finger of fate award
What was great about Laugh In was how it was known for pushing the boundaries of “acceptable”
What a cast and timeless fun humor.Still Hilarious today.
Best show ever!!!!! Miss those days.
I'm old enough to remember this show when I was a kid. It's only gotten better with the passage of time--and more relevant.
The best Christmas present I've had in years!
They had a segment "News from the Future" - where Reagan was president and the Berlin Wall came down.
Ruth Buzzie’s bird song was the highlight of the show. That was amazing and hilarious! 🕊🦆🦜🐥🦢🐧🦤🦩🪶🐦
I had no idea she could sing like that!
I love Laugh-In, even though I was a little kid. Monday nights at 8:00 was fun time and I wasn't even two years old.
Judy Carne was a cutie. May she rest in peace.
I always loved Ruth. She should have had her own sitcom. Always made me laugh. She was as talented as Lucille Ball.
Even Lucy herself had Ruth on Here's Lucy & Life w/Lucy
Judy should have had her own sitcom. In fact, she shot a sitcom pilot for CBS, but it wasn't picked up. Rest in peace, Judy.
@@allenjones3130 Judy had her own sitcom a year earlier, Love on a Rooftop, with Peter Duel and Rich Little. It was canceled after one season.
I was 8 and I don't remember the pilot episode, but I was a regular watcher for the rest of the run of the show. 😊
Thanks for posting this video. Please post more episodes of laugh in!
The pilot episode was broadcast in September of 1967. NBC picked it up as a weekly series in January of 1968.
It’s amazing this was allowed on tv 📺 back in 1968.
And in primetime!!😊
What a kick and blast from the past! I grew up watching this show! Thanks "Shout! Factory" for bringing us this groovy trippy trip down memory lane!
I'm happy for you. Us kids were banned from watching it.
@@paulmorin6569 Bummer. My folks watched it & let my older brother & me watch it. We knew what girls in bikinis were having been to the beach. I was around 10 years old then. My brother was nearly 16.
This was a big deal when it came out. We watched it every week at home. It's nice to watch it when I'm old enough to actually get the jokes!
I almost certainly saw this first episode. I remember it being hyped for weeks before and it would have been "the thing to watch". I didn't remember Barbara Feldon on Laugh in. Ruth Buzzi and Arte Johnson were brilliant. There lots of Vaudeville/Borscht Belt in it that I notice now. It also occurs to me that Monty Python may have picked up some inspiration from this show (not sure if they were seen in the UK at the time). There are hints of it.
Laugh In was influenced by TWTW in part. That was shown in 1963 in the UK. The Laugh In was shown in the UK but it felt dated.
Sooo funny 🤭 we all used to watch this in England in the late sixties In our teens so wacky , sadly it was in black and white ,this is the first time I've seen it in colour it's amazing Nick 67
23:47 Oh how I remember that Timex commercial! I grew up with it! Good times and great fun.
I was expecting "it takes a licking and keeps on ticking".
Yes、just the way I remember it!
Great memories and a lot of laughs. R&M's Laugh In seems even funnier now. As far as 'straight men' are concerned, Dan Rowan is up there with Bud Abbott.
I always thought that Dan Rowan was impersonating Bud Abbott to a large extent.
I used to look forward to this every week. Judy carne and goldie hawn. lol and artie johnson
The song about "Alice" done by four of the ladies, had only known it from a song by the Chad Mitchell Trio. Nicely perfromed here. The Timex ads were a, well what else, a Time capsule! All in all a real treat as I did not know of this pilot. Thanks shoutfactory!!!
I've watched reruns of LAUGH IN before and it's the first time I've seen the pilot episode of this show it's quite interesting....VERRRY INTERESTING.
Always loved watching this show. I was 10 years old but understand what was going on at the time. This was the era of protests, counterculture, psychedelia, race riots, Vietnam, Apollo space missions, assassinations, and just a feeling of what will the future hold?
The future has much of those same things. Just not as much laughing.
@@nancywood9531 Oh no, people are still laughing. Just not the whites.
@@raginbakin1430 I don't even know what that comment means Eric.
Explain ?
The “Alice is Beautiful” romp is super !!
I can’t believe I hadn’t seen this show or pilot before. Gonna have to do a bunch of binge watching over the weekend. Such great fun! 😂
I had heard Here Comes the Judge though but as a recording
Just you wait man!!
I was about 15 or 16 when this came on TV in 67 or 68 and I looked forward to watching it every week. The political humor was interesting and was a sort of slapstick contrast to the more subdued satirical humor of a show that preceded it in the early 60s "That Was the Week That Was" with David Frost.
A veritable who's who of talent, America's finest.
25:18- David Brinkley impression {"THE HUNTLEY-BRINKLEY REPORT"}.
When I was a student at Dundee University in 69 Sunday night the go to program was Rowan and Martin. Our hall of residence had the first colour tv I had ever seen and on Sunday night the room was packed and only standing room. BBC 2 was the only channel and had limited choice pop f colour programs of which Rowan and Martin was won.
One...
I loved this show.I worked a hard job and this made my day.
Just realizing Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In gave us the first memes and reelz. Ruth Buzzy was an absolute treasure! LOL
I discovered that show in my grandparents' apartment in 1968.
The $15.00 for those Timex watches would be about $125 in today's dollars.
Season 1 aired in 1968, in case anyone is wondering.
January 22, 1968, to be exact (the series replaced "THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E." in mid-season).
NBC really expected nothing from this prototype when it was telecast on September 9, 1967; essentially, they used it as "filler" before the "Miss America Pageant" started at 10pm(et) [they had done this the previous year [September 10, 1966] with another comedy/variety pilot, "CLASS OF '67", which would have featured George Hamilton as host]. Viewers, however, *watched* this one, and sent letters to the network, asking it become a series as soon as possible.
@@fromthesidelines Thank you for this additional (and interesting) info.
You're welcome! 😃
thank you for the fun and comical videos!
I'll bet they never could have predicted that 56 years later the market for wristwatches was practically non existent!
Gods I'd forgotten how great this show was! The moral issues they dealt with were very "modern" for the times.
Wow never knew about this episode I remember watching when I was young but I wouldn’t remember seeing the first one We actually went to California in 1971 and went on the studio tours and saw a lot of the Laugh In props and sets The wall were all the doors open and the stars are standing in the back Lilly Tomlins big chair It was really cool Great memories
I remember this show being funnier but none the less, it and the Timex adds remind me of why I love the Scottish (and their humor) so much. Years back I had a boss who was 'fresh off the boat' from Glasgow. He relayed a story about his brother who'd been a 'Bobby' (British cop) in Lockerby, Scotland at the time when terrorists blown up a 747 over the town, killing everybody on board. His brother was one those tasked with identifying and recovering body parts in the wreckage on the ground. He came across an arm with a Timex on it. He picked it up and saw that the watch was still working and keeping accurate time. The first thought that came to his mind was "Damn! After an explosion and falling 30,000'?!? They really do take a licking and keep on ticking!!!"
I love this show!
I loved this show as a kid. I recall many people ( myself included ) were outraged becuz Laugh In was pre empted when russian premier Kosygin was giving a speech. Like any body gave a hoot about his speech!!!
1967 i was only 4 .. great times back then😅
Aside from the impact that these jokes still carry today, watching this really makes me want to dig up my dad’s old Timex with the cracked face that STILL works.
Anyone else notice at 41:10 and the 2 examples after that, that the Timex watches being worn were all showing 10 minutes to 2, and they were all upside down for the lady wearing them?
How wonderful to find this! It must have been the last time an intelligent and funny show came out of the US that wasn’t brainless slapstick. We used to watch it all the time, brilliant!
You’re kidding, right? The charm of the show is that it almost entirely escapist, absurdist, brainless slapstick and vaudeville humor.
As for thoughtful and tasteful comedy from the U.S., the list is too long too write exhaustively, but here are a few, all of which post-dated “Laugh-In”:
“The Carol Burnett Show,” “All in the Family” and nearly the entire Norman Lear franchise of television serials including “Maude,” “The Jefferson’s,” “Good Times,” and “One Day at a Time,” “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Seinfeld,” “Cheers,” “Mary Tyler Moore,” “Bob Newhart,” “Rhoda,” “Frasier,” “The Colbert Report,” “News Radio,” “My Name is Earl,” “Slings & Arrows” (Canadian), “The Tracey Ullman Show,” “Ren & Stempy,” “Scrubs,” “Arrested Development,” “The Drew Carey Show,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Mad About You,” etc. And that’s just broadcast television and doesn’t even include any cable shows.
These are sample of a large number of very good, very well written, produced and performed shows, many written at a much higher level of humor than “Laugh-In.”
What do you call getting conked by a hammer..? Highbrow humor?
I like how they coped with, and pushed the limit of, TV technology at the time.
lol lol loved this show. Happy they put it on you tube so I can watch it again. Thanks.😂
thanks for the post!
This show was the BEST. As a kid, I didn't understand much of the humor but it was funny just the same. Then watching episodes later as an adult, I was astonished at what they got away with on the show!! (oh how the internet has ruined me) And remember the folks on the show were probably no older than their 30s! I think this is when television started to change, to kowtow more toward youth, toward kids. Up till then, the humor was very adult. Laugh in was the bridge between them, IMHO.
Thanks for the memories!
Thankfully they got to have a second episode - they were great!
i remember this show fondly
Laugh In, Sonny and Cher, The Hudson Brothers, Carol Burnett. The 70's were loaded with variety shows and very talented comedians.
Hee Haw
I had forgotten about the Hudson Brothers!!
@@gailmcguirk3718 I remember is was a pretty good show. Didn't they have a guy on regularly with a puppet emu?
@@gailmcguirk3718 I met Mark Hudson 8 years ago
Part Keystone Cops, part Sesame Street, part Bob Hope topical humor, part 1960’s parody. I’m sure they had absolutely no idea how popular this would become. Like Batman, The Monkees, like Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Just throwing stuff against the wall and seeing if it sticks.
Laugh In was the choice on Monday nights. It looks like they changed some of the sets and brought in new talent with Goldie Hawn and Lily Tomlin.
I had a MAJOR crush on the beautiful Lily Tomlin!
OMG I never saw this episode, but it reminds me of just how much I adored Dick Martin! He was SO silly! LOL And not bad on the eyes, now that I'm older. lolol
I love Ruth Buzzy
51:39 Yep, definitely a "Trunk" call! Hope he remembered to reverse the charge! LOL
Vedddy interwesting! I used to write down some of these "one-liners" because I enjoyed being a smart ass in school.
"Laugh-In" was originally a one-time special broadcast on depth 9th, 1967 on NBC either before (on the East Coast) or after (on the West Coast) NBC-TV's coverage of the Miss America pageant.
The enormous ratings and critical praise for this special convinced NBC to ask product George Schlatter to do "Laugh In" as a weekly series starting in January, 1968.
Thankfully for Schlatter, most of the cast members of the special were able to work on Season One of the series.
I watched it all of the time!
This show is one of my first television memories.
The original Saturday night live !
No.....Jack Benny was "original" SNL
@@helbitkelbit1790, poor comparison, in my opinion. Benny’s humor, written, thought out, character driven, drôle and even a bit sly is on the other end of a continuum from the absurdism and improvisational feel of shows like “Laugh-In” and “Saturday Night Live.”
I still remember when Nixon appeared on the show!
Sock it to ME?
"Sock it to ME?"
Me too! Nixon always said afterwards that appearing on Laugh-in got him elected. Hubert Humphrey was offered a spot on the show, but declined.
My favorite show !
Love love loved this
Lorne Michaels childhood show. This has got to be how Saturday Night Live was created. Even the Intro is the same!
At that time in the 60s there were two shows that my older brother and I watched every week here in England that my parents weren't "into". Monty Python and Rowan & Martin. Monty Python was "of its time" and I can't be arsed to watch it ever again... but these guys... I still love them and I can't watch a single episode without laughing my head off. God bless Rowan, Martin, Goldie, Arte, Judy Carne (woof!), Ruth Buzzi, Jo Ann Worley.. etc etc and in the time-honoured words of Jeremy Lloyd... Gravy, booby
He's such a babe!!!!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
This was a great program
I LOVE THIS.
Hey,that's Peter Tork's 😈 Play that harp Peter!I have such flowery memories of the show & the times.Peace.
And Oraculo!
I'm 56 years old, and I always wondered why every once in awhile I will say "Vedy Intedestink" I thought it was from Hogans Heros. I was wrong!
This pilot episode aired 9 September 1967. _Laugh-In_ went to series with the second episode airing three and a half months later on 22 January 1968. It averaged 26 episodes a season over six years. The last of its original 141 episodes was broadcast on 12 March 1973.
This is an INCREDIBLE time capsule
The Saturday Night (Live) of its day.
Geesh, I’m probably the only Henry Gibson fan (or should I say fangirl), here from this show, he as Wilbur from “Charlotte’s Web” was my ENTIRE childhood as a little girl, and discovering young Henry was in this made me so happy! He’s actually the only reason I watch this, too bad his screentime in the show was so limited, but whenever he was in a scene, it made me so excited! :) After he left after the 85th episode, I stopped deciding to watch it since it wasn’t the same.
Loved this show. Glad pacing was picked up after pilot.
