    paretta, Thank you for the solemn news that Henry Gibson has died. "Laugh-In" was a breakthrough show in the late 60's brought to us by the comedic duo of Dan Rowan and Dick Martin and introduced such incredible talent as Goldie Hawn, Ruth Buzzi, Arte Johnson, and the likes of Tiny Tim. Gibson had that kind of face that just made you laugh and he never had to break a smile to keep you rolling on the floor.
