TV's ‘Laugh-in’ comic Dick Martin dies in Calif.
Half of comedy team whose show made stars of Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin.

LOS ANGELES - Dick Martin, the zany half of the comedy team whose "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" took television by storm in the 1960s, making stars of Goldie Hawn and Lily Tomlin and creating such national catch-phrases as "Sock it to me!" has died. He was 86.

Martin, who went on to become one of television's busiest directors after splitting with Dan Rowan in the late 1970s, died Saturday night of respiratory complications at a hospital in Santa Monica, family spokesman Barry Greenberg said.

"He had had some pretty severe respiratory problems for many years, and he had pretty much stopped breathing a week ago," Greenberg said.

No doubt! In 1968 I remember hearing them forecast the news "20 years from now" for 1988 and I thought how far away that was. Now look; it's 20 years later and 40 years ago!!!:jameo:

That's because there was quality in the writers and standards from the networks back then. Today, BOTH ARE GARBAGE!:lmao:

I watched that show as a kid, it was fun. I always wondered what happened to alot of the people on those shows. This is sad.
