Deceased Laugh-In regulars


Upon reading a summary of the Emmy awards show, reference was made to the "Laugh-In" tribute as featuring "the surviving members of 'Laugh-In'", as if there were only the few that appeared. Fact is, other than Dan & Dick themselves, there's very few deceased cast members for a show that's 40 years old (in contrast to "Hee-Haw" & "cursed" shows like "Bewitched" - everyone other than Tabitha is dead)

Here's the list of the deceased regular cast members that I know of:

Dan Rowan
Dick Martin
Larry Hovis
Pigmeat Markham
Teresa Graves
Dennis Allen
Jud Strunk

..... but just about EVERY guest star that ever did the show is gone!

I didn't include Tiny Tim, who although made famous by "Laugh-In", wasn't a regular cast member (ala Steve Martin on SNL).

If anyone knows of others, please add them.
