Rip Tommy Smothers 🙏 You gave me such laughter at 9, 10 years old during a hard time in my life. Their loss !

Thanks, Tom. You and Dick showed America what free speech is about. Witty, sarcastic expression without being defamatory and rude.

While my Father didn't laugh much about the skits he did teach me to "Look Listen and Learn ". He discussed with his peers...brothers, WW2 buddies and older men in business and saw exactly what the Smothers Brothers were saying was the truth. Respect 🙏

2023 is relentless.

I never thought they were funny when I was a kid. If I knew then what I know now, I'm sure I would have at least appreciated their irreverence.

It wasn't the use of the words "water closet" that got Jack Paar censored. It was a story where a water closet was humorously confused with a wayside chapel. Just as with David Steinberg, the idea of possibly offending religious groups was what made the network censors react.
