Tommy Smothers


In case you missed it - Tommy Smothers was recently presented with a long-overdue Emmy for writing on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1968. (Why he didn't get the Emmy in 1968 is explained by presenter Steve Martin).

He got on stage to accept the award and then just basically spoke his mind - telling it like it is. Some thought he was too controversial, but I thought it was one of the more memorable and genuine moments on television in recent years.

Enjoy!
