Smothers Brothers
Sibling comedy duo
The Smothers Brothers were an American comedy duo—Tom and Dick Smothers—who rose to fame in the 1960s with a blend of folk music and bickering-sibling humor.
Their variety show, *The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour*, pushed boundaries with political satire until CBS canceled it in 1969 amid controversy over content.
Mom always liked you best became their signature line.
