Legendary producer George Schlatter has saturated television with his incredible talents and humor and now I was lucky enough to have him as a guest. He’s 94 years old and has a vault of endless stories. He’s most well known for creating “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh- In” which ran on NBC from 1968-1973. For two of those years it was the Number One show on television. So popular that Richard Nixon said he probably won the election because of his cameo on Laugh In. George has won a handful of Emmys and has created a resume so long it’s hard to know where to begin. The Judy Garland Show, Cher, Real People. He’s produced specials for Liza Minelli, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Goldie Hawn, John Denver, Shirley MacLaine, Danny Thomas and many more. He created the American Comedy Awards, has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and produced a few presidential inaugurations. The man hasn’t stopped and it was truly an honor to have him on this show.
