New York – Dick Martin is dead. He was 86. He was Pioneer in the American television history as a comedian and director. He died battling a prolonged bout with lung disease.Best memorizing for the 1967 to 73 hit show ‘Rowan’ and ‘Martin’s Laugh-In’, Martin died Saturday in Santa Monica, California, his spokesperson Barry Greenberg proclaimed on Sunday

Laugh in, the show with comedy partner Dan Rowan was not scripted and more improvisational that transformed the television industry and took it to new heights. ‘Laugh-In’ was also more candidly political than other amusement programmes of the time, tapping into the zeitgeist of the Vietnam War era, and even the show’s name was stirred by sit in protests.

The duo brought to the show the characters they had developed for their night club comedy routines, with Martin playing a clown to Rowan’s angry straight man.

‘Laugh-In’ was also known for a procession of guest stars and cameo appearances from Hollywood’s A-list, and even a look once by then presidential contender Richard Nixon.

Martin later took the seat of director and producer and had done many serials on television.
Rowan died of cancer in 1987.
