RIP YOYO man
Their late sixties TV show was pretty innovative and controversial at the time. Not afraid to include politics. I remember seeing some early TV performances of some star guitar players - Glen Campbell, Mason Williams, America.

So much to learn, so little time.....
One of my favorites:
“ I just yelled "fire" when I fell into the chocolate
No, Tom, why'd you yell "fire" when you fell into the chocolate?
Well, I yelled "fire" because no one
Would save me if I yelled, "CHOCOLATE!"
Haha, no one would save me if I yelled, "chocolate," haha
Lolly doo-dum, lolly doo-dum-day-ay-“
Oh no! How sad! I saw this clip on youtube a few years ago and have been hoping some streaming service will make their old shows available. I have only seen clips here and there and always loved their comedy.
They still looked so dapper and witty as ever in this interview from 4 years ago.

I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, "Well, that’s not going to happen."
Smoking takes another one earlier than they probably would have left without it.
