Saturday Dick Martin passed away from respiratory complications. He was 86 years old. Dick Martin, shown on the right, was the partner of Dan Rowan. They were probably most famous for the weekly comedy show, "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In."The show ran from 1968 to 1973 and featured such stars as Goldie Hawn, Arte Johnson, Lilly Tomlin, and Flip Wilson, and made famous the lines, "you bet your bippy", Verry Eeenteresting", and "sock it to me baby", among others.
Each show started out with a short dialogue between Dan Rowan, the straight man, and Dick Martin, the dumb one. It was a great show and Rowan and Martin were very funny.
