Their show was on every week at our house growing up. They always had some of the best bands and solo artists on the show. Lots of hippies on their shows.
RIP. The Smothers were pioneers in putting their irreverent comedy into the homes of Lawrence Welk fans. It seemed pretty bold at the time.
I took a couple of quarters of Greek from a Prof who was a dead ringer for Tommy Smothers. He was easily embarrassed and would blush at the drop of a dime. There were girls in that class who could make him do it.

All my grandchildren and their friends know how to use a Yo-Yo.

From the NY Times obit:
Tom came across as lighthearted and simple. During an audience question-and-answer session, a woman once asked, “Are you both married?”
“No, ma’am. We’re just brothers,” Tom said.

All the looking back at the old Smothers Brothers shows made me realize that if Pat Paulson were still around he’d be a really viable presidential candidate.
Now that is one for the ages! I literally laughed out loud.
We watched them every week on the little black and white TV. Their humor was sometimes very subtle. I recall one sketch where Tommy was playing Johnny Appleseed - his line was ...Hi, I'm Johnny Appleseed (pause) I'm here to sow my seed.
Classic
RIP Tommy you were a great talent.
I like this photo of him by Mark Junge in an article in the NYT today:
The genius that was the Smothers Brothers.

Depending on which party he would have chosen, he may still be a viable candidate.
RIP Tommy. Made Me laugh alot.

I can make it go up and down, that’s pretty much where my talent ends.
It's supposed to go up too?
Mine's just a yo.

Gotta be a "Yo Yo, Ma!" joke in here somewhere...
