The Smothers Brothers

When Tommy and Dick became household names with their landmark TV show, nobody knew exactly how to react to the curious combination of oddball comedy and pointed commentary. But years later, the Smothers Brothers remain as funny and relevant as ever. The offbeat chemistry between firebrand Dick and discombobulated Tommy exemplifies perfect comic timing. The New York Times exclaims, "Their routines together are tighter and sharper than ever!"
The Smothers Brothers have been honored with a star on the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame and been inducted into the illustrious Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame. In 2003 they were presented with the George Carlin Freedom of Expression Award from the Video Software Dealers' Association recognizing their "extraordinary comic gifts and their unfailing support of the First Amendment." Later that year, they also received Honorary Doctorate Degrees from their alma mater, San Jose State University. In 2008, The Boston Comedy Festival bestowed a Lifetime Achievement Award on the brothers.
