The Smothers Brothers Comedy Tour

The Smothers Brothers have been popular for more than 50 years, and they're still knocking audiences dead like they did when they first got started in show business.  You can see vintage Smothers Brothers with Craig Ferguson on Ferguson's Late, Late Show, and the hilarious duo is still entertaining all over the country.  I first saw them in the 1980's doing stand-up comedy, and I always liked how the brothers flowed off of each other.  The Smothers Brothers are the longest-running live comedy team in history, having celebrated 50 years together in 2008! So Congratulations Tom and Dick Smothers!

Saw them back in the spring in Pennsylvania, and going to see them again next month. Amazing show!

It was a little sad seeing Yo-Yo Man because Tommy looked very much like an old man wearing the plaid shirt and suspenders.

My wife and I are enjoying watching Season 3 of their show. I just finished reading Steve Martin's book last night and he talks about his experience writing for them.
