Arte Johnson?

Postby LLeff » Tue Dec 13, 2005 6:14 pm

Does anyone have a photo of Arte Johnson and Jack from Laugh-In? Also, does anyone have the COMPLETE Laugh-In show on which Jack guested? Someone tried to be helpful by sending me just the bits of the show that featured Jack, but unfortunately, the cuts are so fast that it makes it even more crazy and incomprehensible than the show was under normal circumstances (don't get me wrong, I loved Laugh-In). A 2-second shot of Jack saying something like "hey" is strange out of context.

The reason I'm interested is...because Arte Johnson himself is interested. I'm delighted to say that he sent me an E-mail today, and I look forward to hearing more about his work with Jack.

The Jack Benny guest episode (was there more than one?) of Laugh-In has been released officially by Rhino on DVD on their first "Best of Laugh In" set. Not a huge Laugh-In fan though so I haven't pursued it.

I think he was just on Boston Legal last week playing a judge.
Your pal,

And Mr. Johnson also signed our petition! Too cool!

It's interesting to watch Jack's TV shows and spot young supporting players who would later go on to greater fame and recognition.

I've seen a couple of 1960's Benny TV shows where Bernie Kopell ("Doc" on "The Love Boat") played supporting roles.

That was Arte's LAUGH-IN costar, Henry Gibson. Gibson has appeared several times as Judge Clark on BOSTON LEGAL the past two seasons.

No kidding! I have to confess that I've been a quiet Henry Gibson fan for a lot of years. Nice to know that he's still active!

Watch "The Blues Brothers" DVD (recently rereleased) for Henry Gibson in a very unusual casting choice!
