Dick Martin, Comedian
Monday, June 2nd, 2008
One of the most widely recognized comedians of the 1960s passed away this past week. Dick Martin, the sillier half of the comedy team Rowan and Martin on TV’s Laugh-In died at the age of 86 due to respiratory complications in Santa Monica, CA. Martin and Rowan started out as nightclub comics doing stand-up banter that transferred perfectly onto the comedy variety show where crazy antics and risque puns and satire were just what viewers were looking for at the time.
