RIP Tom Smothers

I shaved a fortune
When I was a kid, I used to listen to comedy routines played on Saturday nights around midnight on a local radio station. The Smothers Brothers were always a favorite.

Our family used to watch their show every week as well when I was growing up. They were ahead of their time, in my view. I'd still vote for Pat Paulsen, given the chance. <eg>

RIP, Tom..

Loved those guys and their comedy show like many other boomers in the late sixties.
Peace Tommy, and RIP
 
I used to LOVE the "Yo-Yo Man" as a kid. Their show was one of the ones our folks would allow to watch as it was pretty clean cut.

As a young adult, I was reintroduced to Tommy Smothers in the Documentary "The Kids are Alright" as he was the introduction to the film.

Sad day for comedy.
 
Dick; "Tom, why'd you yell 'FIRE' when you fell in the vat chocolate?"
Tom; "Cause no one would save me if I yelled 'CHOCOLATE'!"

Goodbye to a very funny man. RIP
