 Time has been an essential ingredient in the Smothers Brothers' success.
They have been considered ahead of their time, masters of timing and practitioners of
timeless comedy. Now as they mark over 35 years in show business, the Smothers Brothers are being
saluted as time - honored legends whose lengthy career has surpassed all other comedy teams in history.
With their singular blend of comedic and musical talents, the irrepressible Smothers
Brothers have made a sweeping impact on diverse generations of fans. Such lasting power is a testimonial
to their intuitive humor, natural warmth, superlative showmanship and the pure unadulterated joy that
the Smothers Brothers bring to audiences of all ages.
Audiences for over three-and-a-half decades have seen the Smothers Brothers in
their own prime time comedy series in both the 1960's and 1980's, enjoyed their many guest appearances
on numerous television programs and talk shows, seen countless engagements as headliners in Las Vegas, a
hot-selling video, continuous coast-to-coast concert tours as well as a host of other accomplishments.
The contributions Tom and Dick have made to the entertainment world throughout their
career are so highly respected that the Museum of Broadcasting in New York produced a retrospective and
seminar on their work, an honor not lightly accorded.
On the other coast, Hollywood ceremoniously distinguished the Smothers Brothers with
one of their most valuable awards: a star on the noted Hollywood Walk of Fame.
For among the abundant tributes, the Smothers Brothers have been described as
one of the most successful teams in history, comedic treasures, comic geniuses, rare, original and
peerless. Justifiably, time has provided another term: An American Classic.
