1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: This Day in History Class is a production of iHeartRadio, Hello,

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: and Welcome to This Day in History Class, a show

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: for those whose mothers always liked them best. I'm Gay, Bluesier,

4
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: and today we're looking at the untimely end of The

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, a variety show that challenge the

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: powers that be with slapstick humor, cutting commentary, and an

7
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: unhealthy dose of sibling rivalry. The day was April third,

8
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine. CBS Television canceled The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,

9
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: a popular, yet controversial variety show. According to network president

10
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: William Paley, the brothers were fired because they had failed

11
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: to submit a review tape of an upcoming show before

12
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: they agreed upon deadline. However, that was just a cover.

13
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: The real reason was that the show had persistently featured

14
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: anti establishment humor, poking fun at the government, politics, religion,

15
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: and just about everything else. By the time Tom and

16
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: Dick Smothers got their own weekly variety show, the brothers

17
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: were already a well known musical comedy duo. They were

18
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: regular players on the nightclub circuit, made frequent guest appearances

19
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: on TV talk shows, and released several hit albums throughout

20
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties. Professionally known as the Smothers Brothers, their

21
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: act was a unique mix of folk singing and stand

22
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: up comedy. They made plenty of jokes about topical issues,

23
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: but many of their most famous bits took the form

24
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: of scripted sibling arguments. The best example probably comes from

25
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Mom Always liked You Best, the smothers eighth comedy album,

26
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Least in nineteen sixty five. Take a list, what do

27
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: you My mama is like my brother best and she

28
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: never liked me mom? And why do you keep telling

29
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: me Mom always likes you? Because every time you get back,

30
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: you say, mom always liked you best. Oh, yeah, my

31
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: mama if liked you bet. You want to know I've

32
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: picked on me? You, my mom and my back get together.

33
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: I say, Wait, I like you because mom liked you best.

34
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: You know why like me? Wait? Do you know why

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: she liked me best? She? Oh? Would you like to

36
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: know why she liked me best? I don't know Mom

37
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: liked you back. In light of the brother's success, CBS

38
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: hired them to host an hour long comedy variety series

39
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: beginning in nineteen sixty seven. The network was in desperate

40
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: need of a hit show that could peel away younger

41
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: viewers from NBC's popular Western series, but nan CBS believe

42
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: the Smothers Brothers were their right act for the job,

43
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: so on February fifth, nineteen sixty seven, the two shows

44
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: began airing head to head in the same time slot

45
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: nine pm on Sunday evenings on CBS. The Smothers Brothers

46
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Comedy Hour aired right after the popular Ed Sullivan Show.

47
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: In fact, Sullivan himself introduced the show's premiere, calling the

48
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: young hosts quote typical American kids average in every way.

49
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: That was undoubtedly what CBS was hoping for, a pair

50
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: of wholesome, clean cut hosts to deliver some lighthearted comedy

51
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: and family friendly music. And to be fair, sometimes that

52
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: was exactly what the Smothers gave them. However, over the

53
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: course of three contentious seasons, they leaned more and more

54
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: into biting, satirical humor and political commentary, a whole lot

55
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: more than CBS had bargained for. The show's format at

56
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: was similar to many variety shows of the era. Each

57
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: episode began with the brothers doing a kind of monologue,

58
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: a few jokes, maybe a parody, song, and, of course,

59
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: some of their trademark bickering. The rest of the show

60
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: consisted of a mix of comedic sketches and live musical performances,

61
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: some from the Smothers Brothers and others from celebrity guests.

62
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: Some of the scripts and sketches were written and performed

63
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: by the brothers themselves, but many were the work of

64
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: a talented staff recruited from the Los Angeles comedy scene.

65
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: Although they were mostly unknowns at the time, many of

66
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: the show's writers and performers went on to become stars

67
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: and their own rights, including Steve Martin, Rob Reiner, Pat Paulson,

68
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: Lee French, and Lorenzo Music. The show's guest stars were

69
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: an eclectic blend of old and new faces, featuring counterculture

70
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: idols like George Harrison and The Doors, as well as

71
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: legendary favorites like Mickey Rooney and Kate Smith. That multigenerational

72
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: approach proved to be the right one. The Smothers Brothers

73
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: Comedy Hour delivered the younger, hipper audience that CBS was after,

74
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: and quite a few of their parents as well. The

75
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: show even passed the ultimate test. By the end of

76
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: its first season, it was routinely drawing more viewers than Bonanza,

77
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: riding high as the twelfth most watched show in America.

78
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: The Smothers Brothers and their writing staff grew increasingly bold

79
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: in their second season. They started working key issues of

80
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: the day into their sketches, including racism, drugs, the Vietnam War,

81
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: and the ever unpopular policies of Richard Nixon. CBS had

82
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: promised the brothers full creative control, but once the scripts

83
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: became more message oriented, the network bosses and censors began

84
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: to muscle in. They clashed with the brothers on numerous occasions,

85
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: forcing rewrites or flat out omissions of entire sketches. The

86
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: sensors flagged jokes for all kinds of reasons, for portraying

87
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: the hippie drug culture and too positive alight, or for

88
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: being irreverent toward organized religion. They also scrutinized every mention

89
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: of the word sex, eventually banning the phrase sex education

90
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: and cutting even the mildest of gags, like joking that

91
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: someone was a known heterosexual. But the biggest source of

92
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: conflict by far was the war in Vietnam. In the

93
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: show second and third seasons, the Smothers welcomed guest with

94
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: openly anti war messages, including folk singers Joan Bayez and

95
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: Pete Seeger. They were the subject of two of the

96
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 1: show's most infamous cases of censorship. Seeger was first, having

97
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: been invited to appear in the second season premiere to

98
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: sing his anti war song Waist Deep in the Big Muddy.

99
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: If you've never heard it, the song is about a

100
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: bullheaded World War Two army captain who forces his men

101
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: to cross a muddy river, only to be drowned or

102
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: misjudging the water's depth. In the song's final verse, Seeger

103
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: draws a not so subtle parallel between the story and

104
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: the Vietnam policies of President Lyndon Johnson, and for that reason,

105
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: CBS refused to let him perform it on the air. Thankfully,

106
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: the censoring of Pete Seeger got so much attention in

107
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: the press that the network ultimately relented and allowed the

108
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: singer to perform the song on a later episode of

109
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: The Comedy Hour. The full performance is now available online,

110
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: but in the meantime, here's the taste. Well. The sargeant said, sir,

111
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: are you sure this is the best way back to

112
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: the basin sargeant, go on, I've boarded this river about

113
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: a mile above this place. It'll be a little soggy,

114
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: but just keep slogging. We'll soon be on dry ground.

115
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: We were waist deep in the big muddy and the

116
00:07:53,120 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: big pool said, well, I'm not going to play it

117
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: any moral. I'll leave that for yourself. Maybe y'all still walking,

118
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: y'all still talking, you'd like to keep your health. But

119
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: every time I read the paper, them all feelings come on.

120
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: Where waist deep in the big muddy, to the big

121
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: fool assess to push on waist deep and the big Muddy.

122
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: In early March of nineteen sixty nine, it was folk

123
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: singer and anti war activist Joan Baiaz's turn to be censored.

124
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: During her performance, she dedicated a song to her husband,

125
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: who was about to go to prison for draft dodging.

126
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: CBS claimed that made the material overtly political and therefore

127
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: unsuitable for an entertainment based variety show. The Smothers Brothers

128
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: refused to cut the performance, so the network aired a

129
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: rerun that night instead. CBS was happy with the show's

130
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: ratings and with the critical reviews, which were largely positive. However,

131
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: they were less pleased with the hundreds of letters they

132
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: would receive from viewers on a weekly basis anytime a

133
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: controversial sketch or song made it to air. The long

134
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: months of fighting over the program's content finally came to

135
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: a head on April third, nineteen sixty nine, when CBS

136
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: abruptly canceled the show, just one week before the end

137
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: of the third season. The pretense for the firing was

138
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: that the Smothers had not submitted a tape of the

139
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: final show in time for the censors to review it,

140
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: but of course everyone knew the real reason. The cancelation

141
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour came as a huge shock,

142
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: as it was still one of the most popular shows

143
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: on television. Its sudden disappearance from the airwaves was reported

144
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: on the front page of The New York Times and

145
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: was even covered by Walter Cronkite on CBS Evening News.

146
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: As for Tom and Dick Smothers, they responded by suing

147
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: CBS for breach of contract. According to Tom, the show

148
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: had already been renewed for a fourth season when the

149
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: network decided to pull the plug for that reason, he

150
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: was always quick to note that they had been quote fired,

151
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: not canceled. It took four years, but the Smothers eventually

152
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: won their case, with the judge ruling that CBS showed

153
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: them just under a million dollars. A good chunk of

154
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: that payment went to legal fees, but according to the brothers,

155
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: the lawsuit was never about the money in the first place.

156
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: After their firing, Tom and Dick's mothers went back to touring,

157
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: sometimes performing as many as two hundred dates each year.

158
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,359
Speaker 1: They also attempted to revive their variety show on other networks,

159
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: including ABC in nineteen seventy and NBC in nineteen seventy five,

160
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: though neither effort fared as well as their first. In

161
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight, the brothers made a triumphant return to

162
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: CBS when the Comedy Hour was briefly revived during an

163
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: especially lengthy writers strike that had left the network scrambling

164
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: to fill its schedule. The revival show was canceled again

165
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: after a single season, but that time because of low

166
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: ratings rather than content disputes. A few years later, the

167
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: brothers re edited their original shows and began airing them

168
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: on the E cable channel, complete with behind the scenes

169
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: interviews and explanations about the various controversies. Diehard Smothers fans

170
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: may disagree, but I don't think it's all that surprising

171
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: that their show never caught fire quite the same way. Again,

172
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: that's not to say they stopped being funny. They still are,

173
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: even now in their mid eighties. It's just that the

174
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: original show appeared at such a singular moment in American history,

175
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: at a time when social and cultural upheaval was everywhere

176
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: you looked. The Smothers recognized that feeling of change in

177
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: the air and tried to channel it into a primetime

178
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: TV show that actually commented on what was happening in

179
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: the world. For the disaffected youth protesting in the streets,

180
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: it had to be energizing to see anti establish politics

181
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,239
Speaker 1: embraced by mainstream performers. But in the decades that followed,

182
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: the lines between entertainment, politics, and social issues all blurred together.

183
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Questioning authority through comedy was no longer the groundbreaking act

184
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: it once was. In that sense, the Smother's fate was

185
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: much the same as that of other pioneers. They hewed

186
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: a path for others to follow, but never got to

187
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: travel it as far themselves as they would have liked.

188
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: For my part, I respect the way the Smothers traddled

189
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: the line between modern and antiquated, cool and lame. Even

190
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: before they tackled topical issues on their TV show, there

191
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: was a subversive quality to the Two Boy next Door Brothers.

192
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Sure they sang about boiled cabbage and argued over who

193
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: had gotten the most Halloween candy as a kid, but

194
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: sometimes a darker sense of humor would creep in, and

195
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: since it was unexpected, it would be all the funnier.

196
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: I think a good example of that interplay between light

197
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: and darkness is their nineteen sixty four song Mediocre Fred.

198
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: Like much of the Smothers Brothers work, it's a reminder

199
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: that the social order can sometimes be disrupted by those

200
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: you'd least expect. Fred went to work from eight to

201
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: five and a fun to clock to show his live

202
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: went to church every Sunday morning. Sometimes he wondered why

203
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: he was born Mediocre Fred, Mediocre Dolfred. Fred went to

204
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: the movies every Saturday night. I'd like to watch TV

205
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: in the Western fights. And he paid his taxes most

206
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: every year. And on a hot summer day, while I

207
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: drank a little bear exciting mediocre Fred mediocre friend. Well,

208
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: the days went by all dulling grain. He didn't think

209
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: much and had little to say. And when the phone

210
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: will rose, he climb over. The monk finds some people

211
00:13:54,800 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: sleeping and a fight. Then ROLLO. I'm Gabe Louisier and

212
