Ive been laughing at Tom & Dick since I was 10 years old...and I'm still laughing at this. They were talented musicians and had a wealth of old folk songs to share. But nobody could top their comic timing, or even just Tommy getting laughs without saying a word. I always got the impression that they sometimes surprised each other with improvisations, and they just rolled with it. Never forget that these two buttoned up, conservative looking folk singers had one of the most radical, politically commentary based shows on TV in the mid 60's. And it was a pioneering show as well as a huge hit. RIP Tommy🙏. Thanks for all the joy.

RIP Tommy. The world lost a shining light. 😢

Oh my. I had forgotten how wonderful (and talented) they were. ❤ Tom was always my favorite, Mom

Goodbye Tommy. Best Carson impression ever and comedy icon. 😢

Brilliant. Loved them. Most under-rated comedy team in show biz history. Rest in peace, Tommy Smothers.

I am a big fan of the Smothers Brothers, they were great.

They were known for their comedy but were very talented musicians as well. People forget

Most unique straight man and goofy guy team ever. Smart bits and Tom was my 1st favorite comedian. I've got an extra dry sense of humor and i think he was the one that lit that spark in me.

Loved them since I was a kid in the 60s. Thank you Don

Wow, the straight man and the comic! Thanks for the compilation! Rip Tom.

Enjoyed this so much I'm watching again - R.I.P. Tommy

Reliving my childhood - thanks for uploading. Tommy - RIP - what a talent!

Thanks for posting these videos Tommy is missed and irreplaceable.

Not an american, but have heard about the Smother Brothers. Never bothered to listen to them cos I thought they were "just another harmony-singing duo". Heard them for the first time now, and boy was I wrong! They are marvelous. Thanks.

My wife and I saw them at a corporate even in 1998 in CD’a. What a great show, not only were they funny as heck they were great musicians.

Tom Smothers was, like, the best of America -- light, heady, ridiculous, hilarious, brilliant, serious but you'd never know it. We have no idea what their lives were behind the scenes but these two could not have come from anywhere else in the world and are truly one of a kind. American masters surely. Just unbelievable people given to us by God Almighty and the universe.

What fabulous talent and thank you for all the laughter and smiles

I remember their shows and listening to their comedy albums on Mercury. Still have them. So long Tom- you entertained us for generations.

It’s no wonder why, at a time when there was only 3 TV channels to showcase all the talent there was, these two had their own comedy hour. There will never be another act like Tom and Dick. Rest in peace YoYo Man!

Thanks for uploading this! Ay one point i had the yoyo man vhs and dreamed of harnessing the power of yo! RIP Tommy!

They had such great politics and are such a joy. It is good to laugh as much as we can in our times.

Thank you Don Giller, you always come through with the gems. RIP Tommy, and all the best to Dick, you gave us a lot of entertainment gold through the years.

Boil that cabbage down Tom . RIP. Sadly Dick will finally be able to finish a song. I have a vinyl collection of all their original pressings. I started collect them in the 70's. I was a huge fan. Tom was playing acoustic and singing on John Lennon's Give peace a chance single. I'm glad I was alive through this era. Thanks Tom and Dick.

RIP Tommy, mom loved you just as much.

Thanks, Don! Rest easy, Tommy :(

Tommy was so funny and stood for freedom of speech for all to be heard.

Oh, The Impossible Dream.......And Bread and Roses Concerts.....WoW those were wonderful!!! I love the Smothers Brothers......they lived right here in Sonoma County Ca where I live and we're saying goodbye to dear Tommy who just passed on....but never forgotten thank you....😍

Two brilliant multi talented brothers that so many owe their careers to ….. yes you Steve Martin amongst many others. Any of you who do sketch and political comedy… improv, … they paved so many roads for you. They did it with such wit, intelligence, timing and talent. 💕 peace out Tommy and know how much you are loved Dick and Tommy

The Smothers Brothers are so talented they almost made me forget that Jay Leno was hosting that last segment.

We love them! They never aged! ❤❤❤ rip Tommy.😢

Such great memories watching this. Thank you for posting. Amazing talents. Biggest mistake the network made cancelling their show. Clearly, the brothers had the last laugh! Rest easy fine Sir.

Thank you so much for posting this! I loved Tommy. 💔

The world is a little bit sadder place without Tom Smothers. 😢

Yo-yos at half slack today-thanks for all you do, Don.

So multi talented.

Loved them from the beginning

Bloody brilliant!

These brothers are still the best. The only time I wish i was older is watching the Smothers. Their sh*t stlll hits today. Probably even harder.

What a great comedy team. I was a kid but remember them having "controversial" guests and opinions on their show in the 60's. I think that's what got them cancelled.

Thanks so much Don. You're one of my favorite channels.

LOved the YoYo Man, toooo great tricks......and hard to learn I'm sure......so much talent.....

I grew up watching them and found out Tommy just passed. RIP Tommy.

Rest easy Tommy Smothers

Mom always liked you best.

R.I.P. Tommy

This is great, Don. Gonna watch it right now. Thanks.

Thank you so much for uploading what you upload! I miss the old late night so much, and it's hard to believe that even then- 80s/90s- these shows were a vestige of earlier greatness. Met the Smothers Brothers at Speedway gas station, where I worked briefly while in college! They pulled in with their touring van, and I only knew them from yo-yo instructional videos that my cousin watched as a kid haha. I asked for their autographs anyway...

Thank you for posting.

fascinating❣

You had a wonderful life and made do many people laugh. May God bless you and especially Dickie. He’ll miss you so much. 💕🙏💕

Thank you, Don.

Oh Dear! Wait a minute while I wipe my tears away! Oh Tommy Smothers you " MR. YOYOMAN" were my favorite brother! 💞🙏🏻 I remember the TV nights when our family would pile into the den to watch " The Smothers Brothers Show"!. It was an hour of truly edgy 60'S entertainment. I remember the night your show had been canceled by the station for pushing the envelope. I think it was about your protesting of the War the US was sending boy's to in Vietnam!? We were heartbroken losing your show! But a few years later along came ROWEN MARTIN'S LAUGH IN TV and they BROKE all the TV regulations! So thankfully they Brought you and Dick on as guest's! Thanks for teaching us YOYO TRICKS and to always to "QUESTION AUTHORITIES"! REST in PEACE and LOVE forever TOMMY! I Thank both of you brother for truly touching my heart and soul as a pre-teen and affected my direction in life. 🕊❤💫🕯🎶🧿🙏🏻 Tommy passed on December 26, 2023!

❤❤❤ RIP Tommy ❤❤❤

RIP Tommy ❣

Thanks for uploading … obituaries often send me to KZfaq … and other sources.

Tom Smothers full nane is Thonas Smothers III, son of Thomas Smothers Junior (II), who died as a POW in 1945 during WWII. Tom Smothers first son was named Thomas Smothers IV and the son also died in 2023.

Great work compiling Don :-)

I"m glad they didn't "drop the 'brother' bit" :) (28:28) He does a bit of Johnny at 29:57 :)

RIP Tom!!!!

RIP Tommy.

Thank you, Don. I was hoping you would post.

Always good to hear from you Don

Thanks, Don. Wonderful document of some of the driest humour we’ve ever known. Boy, they could weave a spell out of repartee. “We’re going to drop the ‘brother’ bit…”

YES! Thank you, Don 💕💕💕💕

i am as guilty as everyone else who commented. it takes a death to comment on videos here.

Nobody can replace Tommy Smothers. He's a legand.

Always in the state of yo.

They had cbs’s #1 show that was cancelled because of their stance on the Vietnam war

I love Them so much❤❤❤

One of the greatest comedy duos of all time.😀 RIP Tom.

45:21 Tommy had an actual what he called "hesitation" issue, and at 46:20 Jay was pretty rude under the circumstances.

Robin Williams performing. 7:46

Did not know Tommy could use a yo-yo at the expert level

Don, is there anyone who has as comprehensive an index of guests on the Carson Tonight Show as you have on the Letterman show? Someone asked me a very specific question about a guest on Carson who claimed (and I’m not making this up) to have been one of the people who killed Rasputin. I couldn’t even think of where to begin looking for that information. Any ideas where I could go to check if such a guest was ever on the show? Happy New Year and I hope you’re doing well.

35:30 - “What a great country this is, that someone can just their yo-yo around.” - PGA TOUR legend Steve Ellington (his friends call him “Elk”)

So many wonderful times; mom may have liked his brother best, but Tom was my star!

FABULOUS SINGERS

Holy Trinity❤ 🙏

😂👏👏👏👏❤

❤❤❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Four Smothers brothers? I thought there were only 3. Tom, Dick and Harry.

Look at the Mark Twain list and convince me the Smothers don't deserve the award more than half of that list. Like the RnR Hall of Fame, these award shows are a joke.

Where's Harry....????

Tell us about Moses he talks to bushes that are on fire

What if the two by two didn't like each other do they get divorced?

Dang those liberals' doing free concerts! sarcasm

Funny bit at 31:40 referencing the Iran Contra affair.

Commercials every two minutes!?!? Never again!!

But there are only two Smothers brothers

Sure look like pumas.

Actually, Dick, the Pilgrims came to the new world to escape religious tolerance. They wanted to keep their religion pure and not sullied by new religions.

Sorry but Jay Leno just kinda sucks
