Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

Dickie Smothers is an American TV legend, composer, actor, musician, and comedian. While he distinctly stands out in his own right, he was one half of The Smother Brothers with his elder brother Tom. The Smothers Brothers formed in the late 1950s and appeared on numerous television shows, including two shows of their own, a sitcom from 1965 to 1966 and The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour which ran through 1969. Dickie has six film credits and numerous TV appearances to his name. The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour featured top musical numbers like The Who and The Beatles, and poked fun at politics, religion, sexuality, and censorship, all with great bravado!
