Yeah, I realized it almost as soon as I posted it. After half a century, the memory sometimes gets confused! I already edited it, but thanks for the reminder! LOL.

Laugh-in is still one of the all time great comedy shows. Topical. Irreverent. Controversial, but never mean spirited. It was just damn funny! Many shows are humorous but Laugh-in was laugh out loud hilarious! One of the reasons was that little old lady on the park bench. RIP Ruth!

I have watched many episodes of Laugh-In on YouTube. Ruth Buzzi's character Gladys was the highlight of the show. I even sent our 21yo grandson some clips and he thought they were hilarious, and he usually thinks the stuff I watch on TV is 'lame'.

I didn't need Facebook to view it. That was absolutely hysterical, and with so many famous comedians of the past who are now gone. Thanks for sharing that, Diane!!
