It was on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In (1968–1973) that Carne soared to stardom. Her most popular routine on the show ended with her saying the phrase "Sock it to me!", at which point she was doused with water or in some other way assaulted. Carne was on the series only for the first two seasons (1968–1969), but she made occasional appearances during the 1969–70 season. Her career faltered after she left the show. Laugh-In producer George Schlatter blamed her for breaking up the Laugh-In "family."
Carne was married to actor Burt Reynolds for two years (1963–1965) and producer Robert Bergman for one (1970–1971).
Carne developed a drug dependency starting with marijuana and eventually became a heroin addict. She lived as a junkie and had a near-fatal automobile accident in 1978 that broke her neck. She was in traction for about three months. On October 22 of the same year, Carne was arrested at London's Gatwick Airport for drug possession and did a stint in an English women's reformatory. Her autobiography, Laughing on the Outside, Crying on the Inside (1985), chronicled her difficulties.

As for Goldie Hawn:
It was on Laugh-In (1968-1970) that Hawn became popular. Originally a dancer on the show, her bikini-clad body painted with funny slogans and designs, she was given a few lines and proved herself a talented performer in a winning, air-headed way.

Richard Nixon once proclaimed "Sock-It-To-Me" as a guest on the show.

"Laugh-In" may well have inadvertently made a small contribution to Nixon's election campaign by allowing him to appear asking, "Sock it to ME?" He actually looked like a funny, self-deprecating guy, which he was not.
