It seems unbelievable when we see Goldie Hawn today as Kate Hudson’s mom that once upon a time, we knew her as the happy, bubbly Goldie Hawn on “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In”. More than that, we also loved how Goldie interacted with Arte Johnson’s Nazi Guard character when Arte would say “Verrrryyy Interesting!” Here is a little sample of the joy and comedy that they helped us to grow up with:
Goldie Hawn and Arte Johnson’s comedy excellence on “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” stemmed from the combination of their unique talents and dynamic personal presence. Goldie, with her bubbly and effervescent personality and her irrepressible infectious giggle, brought a sense of spontaneity, charm and happiness to the show that made us return week after week to see the show again and again. Goldie’s ability to blend innocence with a touch of mischief made her performances both endearing and hilarious. Her famous giggly blonde persona was not just a stereotype but a cleverly executed character that highlighted her impeccable timing and natural comedic instincts.
Arte Johnson, on the other hand, was unbelievable at creating memorable and especially quirky characters. His most famous character was the German soldier, often saying “Verrry interesting,” which showcased his knack for physical comedy and distinctive accents. Johnson’s versatility allowed him to inhabit a variety of roles, each delivered with precision and humor. Sadly, Arte died of heart failure in 2019 at age 90 years old. This is another reason why we need to return here to PhotographsAndMemories.com over and over again to relive the things of our past. They are slipping away from us – just the way that Arte Johnson did in 2019. Here on PhotographsAndMemories.com we can relive our happy past moments before they leave us forever.
Together, Hawn and Johnson’s contrasting styles complemented each other perfectly, making “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In” an unforgettable comedy experience which brightened our growing up years and our after-school experiences. Their chemistry and wonderful sketches set a high standard for television comedy which lives on to today.
