Rest in peace Tommy Smothers. You and your brother brought so much joy to my life. This was a great reminder ❤️😢
💞💞💞💞💞
Agreed, they were one of the VERY few live entertainment shows I've seen in person.
@@nix4644 Lucky! Great memory!
@@nix4644what a blessing! You’re so lucky!
RIP Tommy. You brought so much happiness and laughter to the world. Thank you Tommy and Dick. 🙏❤️
Fantastic! Smothers Brothers were an amazing act. Thanks!
This song, Tom played the straight 👨 man's role when they were on stage .
These guys were unique. Tommy 's death is a true loss to the world. May God bless his family in their time of grief.
They were so damn good
Thank you so much for this gift in remembering Tommy Smothers.
Rest in peace Tommy Smothers
🌹

RIP Tommy Smothers. Great Comedians.
Bless you, Tommy Smothers…thanks for the wonderful memories! ♥️
Happy Smothers Day everyday, we'll miss you in our hearts Tommy allways. Thanks for all the great memories. 🙏💞🎶
My dad loved these guys and had all their records. I’m 66 and to this day know every word to the song My Old Man
So do I. Lol!
I remember they also had a line for this song that said “My old man is an odor decoder in the Brazilian pavilion of the Montreals World Fair.” RIP Tommy! 🙏
They were the funniest and the best, Tommy will be missed !
i am nearly 100 and don't know them, you must be the oldest person on the planet.
@@KeithGreenshields They had a hit TV show in the mid 60s and I was a teenager then !
@@timothybrock5922 lol, was kidding yah
I loved their show and was disappointed when they got fired over the material presented on their show. It was stupid and ridiculous because everyone has the right to their own opinion and back then even the "MAN FROM UNCLE" show got terminated over a special episode that the President Nixon didn't like? Can you imagine the audacity of that man? So not only "The Smothers Brother got canned so did "MAN FROM UNCLE" A spy show.
My husband and I saw Tommy do his Yoyo Man act in Vegas.
Oh God how I loved these guys! Tommy has always made me laugh so hard I cried, ever since I first saw their act on t.v. back in the early 1960s. RIP peace Tommy, and God bless you, Dick Smothers. America has always loved, and will always miss you two. What great memories you've given us.
That was wonderful! Rest in peace Tommy and my condolences to his family and friends 😢.
RIP TOMMY many years of laughter you gave to us.
"that's our business" great line. thanks again for another video.
A friend of mine did some work on Dick Smothers fireplace, and so he knew that Tom was approaching his last days through conversations he had with Dick. Tom was an icon in the purest sense of the word. He was there for so many groundbreaking moments in music and cultural history. RIP Tommy.
They were So funny. We watched them every Sunday. Even our mother laughed.
They truly were for everyone!
R.I.P. Tommy Smothers !! My Condolences to His Family and Friends 🙏🙏 I Remember watching The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, way ahead of there time and to controversial for TV in general. What A Great Show ,Couldn't get away with it then and couldn't get away from it now. That's for sure !!
Tommy had such a great voice. They both sound great together
Those are two of the most amazing brothers of all time ❤️❤️❤️
RIP Tommy, what a talent 😥
I forgot how wonderful they sounded when singing together. RIP Tommy. Thank you for posting this.
At 70, this is still as funny as it was when I first watched on the Carson show. The Smothers Brothers are part of my memories from the 60s, 70s, and early 80s.
I miss those days. RIP Tommy.
They had such beautiful harmony !
These guys were so hilarious! I remember seeing them before their 60's Smother's Brothers Comedy Hour show on various variety TV shows. They never failed to bring out a smile.
Were? They ARE hilarious. Tommy is probably making people sing, smile, and laugh at his jokes in heaven this very moment!
We had their records before they became famous on TV. "Mom Always Liked You Best!"
One of my favorite performances on The Tonight Show.
Johnny "you guys work well together" Tom "yeah that's our business"...a great (and true) comeback
Sad news of his passing. Brought alot of joy and laughter in many people's lives.
Thanks for the music and the laughs Tommy!
thank you all who are gone before.. the smiles and laughter you gave never end.
This is so perfectly stated❤
I was old enough to catch them on Carson. Really funny. Clever. Heck of a run for these HOFers.
The early morning I heard Tommy died, I woke up hearing about it in the news. I was lying on my back in bed. Instantly tears welled and dropped to my ears. It was like a porcelain clown doll was taken from us. I and my mom always found Tommy funny. Didn't know him, but I feel like a friend is gone.
Me too
The most unique and talented guys
What a great relationship they had!!❤
Dick: 'Tommy, these people didn't come here to see us argue.' Tom: 'Well, some of them did.!"
Born in 56 and blessed with a wholesome childhood.
Truly blessed by the lovely Smothers Brothers, Carson, Melanie, Rowan and Martins Laugh In.
Precious yesteryears.
What a tender but drastic time to be 14 yrs old in 70'
🌹♥️🙏
Every Sunday nite The Smothers Bros. show. Loved it and Tommy was so funny. They worked great together. My sympathies to the whole family!
My parents let me stay up to watch their series when I was 11 YO. They were catalysts for so many TV comedians and shows that followed. No Laugh In or SNL without them. They performed a clean, legal, funny challenge of the goverment and society as gentleman - always. The sneaky way they slammed the cancellation of Lou Grant. They were lovable.
Laugh-In ran at the same time, and beat them at the Emmys. Two different styles of political satire. Also two different styles of show: TSB was a variety show, Laugh-In was skit comedy.
As for SNL, their Genesis came from improv and National Lampoon, and the general counter-culture comedy that had been fermenting and formenting since Lenny Bruce (and MAD Magazine).
Lou Grant? Citation, please?
@@TorstenAdair "The cancellation of Lou Grant in 1982 was controversial. Asner served two terms as president of the Screen Actors Guild, during which he voiced opposition to U.S. government policy in Central America and worked closely with Medical Aid for El Salvador. Up until his death in 2021, Asner consistently stated his position that his political views, as well as the publicity they attracted, were the root causes of the cancellation of the show." Source Wikipedia "Lou Grant (TV series)" Note: Also the CBS network.
I did like Lou Grant and Mary Tyler Moore together.
Sad day. I feel as sad as the day Ray Magliozzi passed away. Real brothers Ray and Tom, the Tappit Bros.
from NPR's "Car Talk"! RIP Tommy.
We started dating in February 1982. This summer we spent many nights at my parents. They would go to bed, then we would start watching TV , at 10:30, when Johnny would start. We probably watched this one. We loved Johnny. We will celebrate our 39th in May, 2024.
Sheer brilliance we were so lucky to grow up with such talented people. Rip tommy smothers.
Tommy was the best. He and Johnny were hilarious on this visit. I miss all these guys. They solemnly made us all laugh in the best ways possible.
I had some of their acts on vinyl and would listen to them over and over again, memorizing them and singing along until the grooves were flat! Rest in peace, Tommy! I suspect he's going to be putting on a few trick yoyo performances in Heaven!
God bless the Smothers Brothers. ♥🙏♥
Back when we had such great entertainment. R.I. P. Tom.
Rest in heavenly peace Tommy, you were great 👍.
My favorite, Tommy Smothers rest in peace great man!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😞😞
RIP, Tommy Smothers, you were one of a pair.
They had such a fun and funny act. This song was hilarious!
What is the name of this song? Four hearts in a snaggle???
I grew up with only 1 of their albums to enjoy. It's Curb Your Tongue, Knave. I've practically memorized it & still find it funny. I transferred it to CD years ago & it sounds so clean now. Their famous unaired show from the 60s is on CZcams to enjoy.
"....and every Saturday morning he reads the fridgermaterman news" 😂😅😂
GOD speed , Tommy ❤🙏 ✝️🙏 ❤
When I was 9 and 10, we watched this show at my grandmother’s house. It was a huge favorite of ours.
Tommy's deft and subtle joke (which some in the audience get) about appearing on Lou Grant refers to the brothers' show cancellation at the end of the 60's for political reasons. It is strongly suspected that Lou Grant was canceled for same, owing to the outspokenness of Ed Asner.
Mom always liked you best.
so many great lines
Rest In Peace Tommy Smothers 101, I don't want to be here that long. I have a son that died in my arms on Father's Day 20 years ago, from a motorcycle wreck. So 75 80 would be nice. 58 now. I'd rather be with my son before 101.🙏🏻
Used to have this song on a children's CD and would sing this with my young son on road trips. it was his favorite song and he still knows the words. I just loved them for their wit and humor. Never will have an act like that again. Smothers Brothers brought joy to the world and Tom will be missed by millions of fans
Tommy was a gem. Never got the credit he deserved. RIP Tommy
That’s some fine strumming and harmonizing
Typical country song! Loved it. I watched these guys when they first came out and really enjoy seeing them again. We need them and their sense of humor now more than ever!
I was hitchig down Sunset Blvd. one day in the 60s when I was picked up by a guy who worked for the Smothers Brothers. He said he always picked up guys carrying a guitar, I went to their offices in a part of Beverly Hills and played a few of my songs for them. Tommy didn't stutter and they were really nice. I taked race cars with Dick Smothers and walked out into the L.A. sunshine thinking "see the word isn't so bad"...
Best times of my life were watching the smothers brothers show for that brief moment in history
RIP Tommy you were one funny, mofo, and brilliant😎
PS this song is brilliant😂
This song was written by our father Oscar Brand. There are 2 more verses! The best!
I recall Tommy being the YO-YO MAN !! What a funny bit!! ❤😊
All the harmony they had in their home growing up.
Thanks to Mother and Father Smother' s.
You guys work so well together…. Well that’s our business!!!
God Bless Tommy Smothers.
I grew up to their TV show. As a little girl I had a crush on him.
R.i.p.
We love you Tommy Smothers💞💞
Great stuff. Didn't remember them having such good singing voices
Run don't walk to see the documentary Smothered.Wherever you can find it.
Gonna Miss You Tommy....
RIP Tommy
Thanks for all the laughs
😢RIP Tommy Smothers. You will be missed 😢
a REQUEST in tribute to Tommy Smothers. The song "Four hearts and a snaggle" starts at 3:12 ends at 5:07. This song, this performance should be released as a new single in tribute to Tommy Smothers. It is sure to be a hit as well as a lasting tribute To Tommy and Dickie
"...and every Saturday Night, he reads the Playboy!"
Totally cool. Rest in Peace Tommy.
The Smothers Brothers knowingly sacrificed their #1 TV show to protest the Vietnam War, which was unheard of then and now.
So sad to hear of Tommy's passing. I feel that their type of innocent humor without being disrespectful to anyone may be a thing of the past. We need more humor like this beautiful duo.
Tommy you are the best . Keep them laughing up there
I am truly so sorry for your loss he and his brother is how ill remember him, ya know what, I just remembered that his so Tommy went to the same private school in the 70s way up by Hayfork,Ca. Huh, wow, my kids loved watching them too, every time I need a happy moment or need to center, I put the yoyo man on or the one where on their show they brought that funny spacey a little bit mixed up but hilarious to be honest hippy check, she was sooooi um, just care free ill say, buy those were so funny. Yes the Smothers Brothers will never be forgotten, ❤❤❤❤
RIP Tommy & Johnny
FYI - The indentation on bottom of a wine bottle is called a PUNT and not a kick, but Johnny was close.
14:25 Johnny Carson: You work so well together.
Tommy Smothers: Yeah, well that's our business. RIP Tommy.
Thanks for posting.
I've been looking for this clip.
Damn, they were good!
Loved their show as a teenager. Funnest show on the air. Nixon had them cancelled. No big free speech issues back in those days. I don’t think that could happen today.
Could you please post a interview with Dan Blocker? I’ve been searching for one everywhere and can’t find any!
They don't do good clean comedy like that anymore. What laughs!!!!
That song should have been #1 on the Country charts
The best thing
This is a classic 😊.
this was on the album I memorized as a child
Awesome interview and song!!!
I laughed out loud!!!😂
May you now entertain in heaven 🙏
So this is right after the "Who's on First?" parody. So 2 classics back to back
So many great one liners
This apparently was the show where Johnny does the "who's on first" bit imitating Ronald Reagan. It's also on CZcams.
Tom you will be missed RIP
They're interrupting the beginning of the song, when will they start ??? 😂
These guys were great, RIP Tommy !!!
I liked the Smuthered Brothers. They were nearly the best ever. Seriously. They are probably close to being near the top five hundred funniet brothers of all time in the last 100 years. They played instruments and told jokes and wore the same outfits and smiled a lot. That's a rarity only done at theme parks with stages on a thrice daily show or at Renaissance Festivals. Yes the Smurfed Brudders are very amusing.
😊
