Netflix has announced a new comedy special that acts as a 50th anniversary tribute to “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In” series, which spanned from 1968-1973. The special, “Still Laugh-In: The Stars Celebrate”, will be recorded this week at Hollywood’s Dolby theater and feature original cast member Lily Tomlin along with Billy Crystal, Tiffany Haddish, Neil Patrick Harris, Taye Diggs, Michael Douglas, Jay Leno, Rita Moreno, Rita Wilson, Jo Anne Worley, and many more surprise guests.
The evening will be filled with an elite lineup of comedians, actors, and musicians paying homage to the iconic show with modern takes on timeless moments, as well as Lily Tomlin’s revival of her seminal Edith Ann and Ernestine characters.
The Netflix special will take quintessential sketches and acts from the original hit series and add a contemporary flair that will prove even 50 years later, Laugh-In never gets old.
