Pardon the "ignorance" of a Brit watching without sound, but were we Smother-ed at the start of this?
By the way, I know that I saw my first live circus early in August 1957, but I sem to have convinced myself that it was on 7 August 1957. Figure that out! I was scared of the clowns, although such things were fine when they were inside a television set. Same at my next live circus, 2 years later. A further 2 years down the line, and I seem to have been "cured".

Yes, that is Tom and Dick Smothers on the Smothers Brothers Show.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Steve Martin really was on the writing staff. I believe he also wrote for The Sonny and Cher Show before he made it big a few years later.
