I would say most people my age don't know who he is. And that's a shame. There was sketch comedy before SNL, and he and his comic partner, Dan Rowan, created "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In." And omg was it funny. FYI its where Goldie Hawn got her start. The show also can boast being the first television entertainment program to have a sitting president appear on it (Nixon). Yeah, it was that popular.
It also boasted guest spots by the Beetles, the Monkees...
Here is a sampler. Thats Martin on the right. If you're bored, go around YouTube and watch some clips.
