It was actually a good and popular show that was canceled because of

politics.

RIP. They were very popular back in the day. I remember seeing their show as well as them appearing on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In.

I recall reading that they received some backlash for their public criticism of the Vietnam war.
Very talented and funny duo.

I actually met him and talked with him for about 45 minutes. Pretty mellow and friendly guy.

Meanwhile, beyond the public's eyes, the TV executives pulled strings to get their sissyboy sons out of having to fight.

War Is Good Business. Invest Your Employees' Sons in It.

The purpose of that war was to kill off or take the fight out of the bravest sons of the White working class. Mission Accomplished.
