Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" was one of the most controversial US television series of its time. Hosted by Dick Martin and Dan Rowan, "Laugh-In" originally aired on NBC from 1968 to 1973; it was a trend setting variety program frequently at odds with the network censors. Goldie was a regular cast member from 1968 to 1970, and "Laugh-In" propelled her to stardom. She portrayed the ultimate caricature of a stereotypical "dumb blonde", often in the persona of a body-painted go-go dancer clad in a skimpy bikini.
"The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour", starring Tom and Dick Smothers, was broadcast on CBS from 1967 to 1969. It was every bit as controversial as "Laugh-In", but Goldie Hawn never appeared on the program. "The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour", a variety show starring the country western musician, aired on CBS from 1969 to 1972; Goldie made one guest appearance on the program in 1969 (and coincidentally, Tom Smothers was the show's executive producer). "The Dean Martin Show" was a long-running NBC variety program that aired from 1965 to 1974, hosted by the legendary "Rat Pack" performer; Goldie made one guest appearance on Dean's show, also in 1969.
