Arte Johnson, Comedian Remembered For ‘Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In’, Dead At 90

“Mr. Johnson had appeared in New York theater productions and on television shows including Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Twilight Zone and The Andy Griffith Show before his breakthrough in Laugh-In, where he received three Emmy nominations and won one, in 1969. His pratfalls, outlandish accents and ad-libbed double-entendres made him a mainstay of the fast-paced and irreverent comedy show, which premiered on NBC in January 1968 and ran for six seasons.” (“Verr-rry intereshting.”) – The Washington Post
