In a year that so many big-name folks whom we've known all our lives have dropped off the face of the earth for whatever reasons, this is still a pretty big deal.
Tom Smothers and his brother Dick had that big TV variety show of theirs on CBS during the late 1960's, and it was, of course, a big ratings bonanza with a large audience (most of whom were under the age of 30 [natch!]). And of course, because a fair number of their shows had counterculture figures whose politics "upset" Middle America, it got cancelled by the network after a mere eighteen months! They, meaning the Smothers Brothers, must have been doing something right.
I don't know if Mom always loved Dick best, but both he and Tom will always be well remembered.
