  Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was a United States comedy television show broadcast for 140 episodes from January 22, 1968, through May 14, 1973, over the NBC network.
Hosted by the comedy team of Dan Rowan and Dick Martin (Rowan played the exasperated straight man, Martin the horny, dumb guy), the show was characterized by a rapid-fire series of gags and sketches; many of them carried sexual innuendo, others were politically charged, and most were just silly.
At the end of every show, Dan Rowan turned to his co-host and said, "It's time to say good-night, Dick," to which Martin replied, "Good-night, Dick" (varying a bit from the old George Burns and Gracie Allen radio show).

Another thing that worked against "Laugh-In" was that, to quote a famous song, the times they were a-changin': By 1973, when it left the air, there was no longer the kind of political polarization that made the series such a hit in '68.
ROWAN and MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN redefined the variety show format forever and IMO wasn't eclipsed until the birth of SNL.
Dan and Dick's chemistry as co-hosts was undeniable and what can you say about a show that actually got the President of the US to come on and say, "Sock it to me?" Classic variety television that never jumped the shark.
