Goldie Hawn was never allowed to rehearse her introductions on Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In in hope of tripping her up. “Ruth Buzzi would always do something to screw up Goldie’s cue cards,” recalls Laugh-In producer George Schlatter to Closer. “Goldie is really a brilliant woman, but when she gets confused, she laughs, and her laugh is just golden.”
From 1968 to 1973, a cast of young performers held court on the irreverent comedy sketch series, which launched the careers of Goldie, Ruth, Lily Tomlin, Arte Johnson and more. George, 90, shares his memories of Laugh-In and the other classic comedy shows he worked on in the new book Still Laughing: A Life in Comedy. “There is so much negativity in the world, so I thought I would do something funny, positive and happy,” he says.
