Star-Studded Laugh-In Anniversary Special, With Lily Tomlin, Set at Netflix
Netflix is looking to sock it to ya later this spring, with a special commemorating the 50th(-ish) anniversary of Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In.
Taping this Friday, March 8, at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater, Still Laugh-In: The Stars Celebrate will pay tribute to the Emmy-winning comedy/variety series that ran from January 1968 to March 1973 (meaning, it’s technically been 51 years. #NetflixMath).
