[AdSense-A]

By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt

Arte Johnson, the comic best known for the hilarious characters he created for the 1960s NBC smash hit Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, has died. He was 90.

The 5-foot-4 Johnson, a master of ad libs, double-talk and dialects who was content to be a “second banana,” died Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles of heart failure following a three-year battle with bladder and prostate cancer, his family announced.

For years Johnson played characters that shook us to our funny bones. I personally loved him in the 1979 film Love At First Bite starring George Hamilton.

Ringside Report sends our deepest condolences to the Johnson Family in their time of grief.
