Requests:  0 Summary:  "Already a well-regarded producer of television specials and variety shows by 1967, George Schlatter pitched to NBC an idea that was a radical departure: a TV comedy special inspired by the hippie counter-culture, one which would take the idea of sit-ins, love-ins, and be-ins, and manifest that politicized, sexualized, consciousness-raising energy into comedic sketches. The special was so successful it became a regular television series. Soon, it was the #1 show on American TV. Still Laugh-in features never-before-told backstories from the creation of one of the most beloved shows in television history. It also recounts the coming-of-age of one of television's great producers, from his early nightclub days in Vegas, rubbing elbows with iconic mob figures like Mickey Cohen and John Stompanato, to his influential friendships with Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra, for whom George was asked to deliver a eulogy at his funeral. The book is an inside look at the Golden Age of Hollywood in the wake of the cultural upheaval of the Sixties and Seventies. It demonstrates the crucial role a working producer plays in bringing a show to life, and reveals the actual people (Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Milton Berle, Liza Minnelli, among many others) cloistered inside their iconic celebrity. With spit-fire humor and tireless wit, Still Laugh-In captures this adventurous and CURIOUS time"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 791.45023 Schlatter Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 791.45023 Schlatter Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
