Over the years they made many guest appearances with Johnny Carson and other variety shows of the era. In the early ‘60s, they recorded the first of 12 top-selling albums.The comedic siblings may be best known for their sometimes controversial but always influential comedy series, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. The show gave many writers and comedians their start, including Steve Martin. The Emmy-winning show also featured top musical acts of the day such as The Doors and The Who.
