Rowan & Martin - "Special Events Interview" - '78 - HQ

The guys had been doing this bit for twenty years. It's hardly "Who's On First", but it's nice to see 'em working together.

After "Laugh-In" they rarely did, as Dan was a diabetic and had to limit his output to appearances on shows like "The Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island". Although the same age as Dick, he looks ten years older, here. He died nine years later, aged just 65, while Dick lasted another THIRTY.

Ironically though, Dick's health wasn't much better than his partner's - having lost a lung to TB as a kid, he'd used bottled oxygen all his life. But it kept him alive until last year, when respiratory failure finally caught up with him. He was only 86...

Awesome! Never knew they appeared together after laugh-in. Big Thanks!!

My pleasure. As stated in my info panel, Dan wasn't able to work too much, after. This is the ONLY recording I've SEEN of them together, post-Laugh-In. The routine was one they'd been doing for YEARS. I have an early version on a 1960 album...

This is awesome! I know they made a few appearances together after Laugh-In ended in 1973. These guys were a classic comedy team. And they are sorely missed. Thank you Dan & Dick!.

Well, thanks again. That was unbelievably funny and could have been written yesterday. Amazing that it came from 1960.
