Dick Martin Dead At 83

Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was the prototype for Saturday Night Live, and just as big in its day. It was also the first major comedy show that people left of center could identify with. Indeed, its contribution to American culture is inestimable. But please don't take it too seriously. Otherwise, how could you place a bet on your sweet bippy?

If you don't know what a sweet bippy is, why don't you look it up in your Funk & Wagnalls?

Sock it to me, baby.
