Comedian Dick Martin , co-creator of the hilarious and pioneering early ’60 sketch comedy/variety program, Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In (which I watched religiously as a small child) died Saturday in Santa Monica from respiratory complications. He was 86.
This is no Laugh-In matter…you can bet your bippy on that.
RIP Mr. Martin and thanks for the thousands of hours of laughter…
I read that on his 80th birthday, he arrived at his party and passed out. The paramedics were called in to revive him. Later, he said “BOY! Did I make an ENTRANCE!” 🙂
