Martin read his dialogue directly from cue cards and usually, if he flubbed a line or forgot a lyric, Martin would not do a retake and the mistake, and his recovery from it, went straight to tape and onto the air.<\/p>\n<p>The show was done from NBC&#8217;s Burbank&#8217;s Studio 4 and was produced and directed by Greg Garrison. Among his Garrison&#8217;s first productions were &#8216;The Kate Smith Show&#8217; and &#8216;Your Show of Shows&#8217;. He went on to produce and direct many television specials with Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Donald O&#8217;Connor and many others. He was probably best known for producing and directing this show and &#8216;The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts&#8217;. He also directed one of television&#8217;s landmark 1960 presidential debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer months, Garrison kept Dean&#8217;s Thursday night time slot hot with some very good guest hosts. In 1966, Rowan and Martin hosted a few of Martin&#8217;s summer shows which were so well received that it put them on the trajectory as hosts of one of television&#8217;s most memorable series..&#8217;Rowan and Martin&#8217;s Laugh-In&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>As you see in the photos, the show started with RCA TK41s, but later graduated to TK44s around 1968.
