A little awkward moment with The Carpenters and Dickie Smothers. Its so awkward that its kinda funny. Dickie Smothers TRIES to joke with The Carpenters and gets a load of embarrasment
I have a Carpenters Group on Yahoo! CHECK IT OUT..or not but heres the link:

The Carpenters performed for Nixon at the White House, something that really goes against the grain of Tommy Smothers.

@mrshinyshoes actually the Carpenters and Captain and Tennille were friends as well. Both worked for A & M records. I like both groups. They were talented. Today's groups I cannot think of any great ones. No talent much for today's "music".

The Carpenters were so classy here despite Smothers' idiotic comments. I never found the Smothers Brothers funny at all.

The Captain and Tennille??? OMG!!! What an injustice to compare The Carpenters, America's greatest pop group of the 1970s, to Captain and Tennille! The only song that came out of The Captain and Tennille that I remember was "Love Will Keep Us Together". Other than that one song, there's not much to remember about the Captain and Tennille! On the other hand, The Carpenters gave us so many wonderful, memorable hits, hits that have become timeless classics.

Steve Martin said Karen Carpenter could suck the chrome off of a ball hitch.But he loved taking her out to dinner because all she would order would be a glass of water and a cracker.

@redlightmax ...ALSO...a little historical perspective -- tommy smothers gave steve martin his break as a young comedy writer on the original Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, so martin was very much aware of tommy's style.

@leofilm OK, that does make things clearer, thank you.
I still say that, in character or not, he was being douchey to KC and RC.
