Movie Description A second volume of the uproarious sketch comedy series ROWAN & MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN follows hot on the heels of the hugely successful first boxed set. Six shows are included, spanning the years 1968 to1971. Having totally revolutionized network television's approach to comedy, the show unleashed incessant scenes of hilarity at a breakneck pace. In addition to cast staples Ruth Buzzi and Gary Owens, an awesome array of special guests is wheeled out to help with the laugh-fest, including Zsa Zsa Gabor, Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin, Johnny Carson, Danny Kaye, and many more. Although very much of its time, LAUGH-IN eschewed modern comedy trends in order to become a timeless wonder that has spawned several similarly styled shows.
