Former NBA superstar Wilt “The Stilt” Chamberlain and entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. barge their way into the lighter side of life in this iconic skit from “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In.”
The ground-breaking variety show, hosted by Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, was a fast moving barrage of jokes, one-liners, running skits, musical numbers and made fun of the social and political issues of the late 1960s, and early 1970s. This episode features a seemingly boxing mismatch between the diminutive Davis and 7-foot Chamberlain, but watch to the end to see how it ends!
