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 more than 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 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 they bring to audiences of all ages.
Audiences have seen the Smothers Brothers in
their own prime time comedy series in both the 1960's and 1980's, guest
appearances on numerous television programs and talk shows, 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 them with one of their most
valuable awards: a star on the noted Hollywood Walk of Fame. In fact, a
numerous variety of plaques, mementos, accolades and tributes have been
presented to the legendary brotherly team in response to the quality
entertainment they've provided throughout the years.
On the personal side, both Tom and Dick pursue their interests with
the same fervor as their work. Whenever the opportunity presents itself,
Dick can be found honing his golf or tennis skills for an upcoming
tournament, oftentimes after he's already completed his regular exercise
routine. Even on the road he doesn't miss a beat as he maintains a
disciplined regimen of robust workouts at the nearest health club
frequently augmented by aquatic exercises in the pool. Equally at home
in the kitchen, Dick is known to conjure up nutritious gourmet cuisine.
Dick doesn't merely pursue an interest, he masters it.
Tom's pastime passion is for golf, which is no surprise to the
millions of viewers who have followed him through the various pro-am
tournaments he plays each year. True to form, however, Tom is not simply
content to being one of the most popular attractions on the golf
circuit. Ever inventive, he decided the game needed an added feature:
the yo-yo. And, as many golf fans have already observed, Tom is the only
golfer known who can sink a putt with the popular toy. In his inimitable
style, he sets a spin on his mighty sphere of stored kinetic energy and
unleashes it straight into the hole! Only the most dedicated yo-ing
golfer can appreciate such prowess.
There's not much left to be said about a career as celebrated and
public as that of this talented twosome. 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.
