Still Laughing A Life In Comedy From The Creator Of Laughin George Schlatter by George Schlatter, Jon Macks, Lily Tomlin (foreword), Goldie Hawn (afterword) 9781951213831, 1951213831 instant download after payment.

Already a well-regarded producer of television specials & variety shows by 1967, George Schlatter pitched to NBC an idea that was a radical departure: a TV comedy special inspired by the hippie counter-culture, one which would take the idea of sit-ins, love-ins, & be-ins, & manifest that politicized, sexualized, consciousness-raising energy into comedic sketches. The special, Laugh-in, was so successful it became a regular television series. Soon, it was the #1 show on American TV.

Still Laughing features never-before-told backstories from the creation of one of the most beloved shows in television history. It also recounts the coming-of-age of one of television's great producers, from his early nightclub days in Vegas, rubbing elbows with iconic mob figures like Mickey Cohen & John Stompanato, to his influential friendships with Judy Garland & Frank Sinatra, for whom George was asked to deliver a eulogy at his funeral.

The book is an inside look at the Golden Age of Hollywood in the wake of the cultural upheaval of the 60s & 70s. It demonstrates the crucial role a working producer plays in bringing a show to life, & reveals the actual people (Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Milton Berle, Liza Minnelli, among many others) cloistered inside their iconic celebrity. With spit-fire humor & tireless wit, Still Laughing captures this adventurous & CURIOUS time.

Still Laughing includes never before seen photographs of Hollywood's biggest stars, accompanying untold stories, such as:

  • Frank Sinatra's travel habits– a Jack Daniels over ice & a Camel cigarette always in tow
  • How George bought a house for Sammy Davis Jr.
  • The time George sang "Over the Rainbow" to an irate Judy Garland
  • Riding a party bus to see Frank Sinatra with Martin Short & Chevy Chase
  • How George produced the first-ever all-Black variety show with Redd Foxx & Pearl Bailey
