		Smothers is best known for being half of the musical comedy team The Smothers Brothers with his real life brother, Dick Smothers.
		In chess, a smothered mate is a checkmate delivered by a knight in which the mated king is unable to move because he is surrounded (or ''smothered'') by his own pieces.
		For a smothered mate of this sort to occur in a game, it is usually necessary to sacrifice material to compel pieces to smother the king — a player is unlikely to voluntarily surround their king with pieces in a position where a smothered mate is possible.

	Scott Wheeler Reviews THE SMOTHERS BORTHERS
		It’s a formular that’s worked spectacularly well for the Smothers Brothers during their nearly-30-year reign as two of America’s crown princes of comedy and political satire -- although, as they were reminded later in the show, sometimes the audience would prefer to have the brothers keep their politics to themselves.
		Tom and Dick Smothers began their performing careers in the late 1950s as serious folk musicians, but it wasn’t long before their gift for “sibling rivalry” comedy added a new dimension to the act and began attracting legions of devoted young fans.
		The formula brought the Smothers Brothers high ratings, and further endeared them to their younger fans; but it also unleashed a persistent storm of controversy and resulted in a frustrating series of disputes with CBS management and censors over their choice of guests and style of material.
