简介：The Smothers Brothers were the American duo of brothers Tom and Dick Smothers, who performed folk singing, music, and comedy. The brothers' trademark double act was performing folk songs (Tommy on acoustic guitar, Dick on double bass), which usually led to arguments between them. Tommy's signature line was "Mom always liked you best!" Tommy (the elder of the two) acted "slow" and Dick, the straight man, acted "superior". In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the brothers frequently appeared on television variety shows and issued several popular record albums of their stage performances. Their own television variety show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, became one of the most controversial American TV programs of the Vietnam War era. Despite popular success, the brothers' (especially Tom's) penchant for material that was critical of the political mainstream and sympathetic to the emerging counterculture led to their firing by the CBS network in 1969. One episode was left unaired. The brothers continued to work, both independently and as a team, on stage and television, and in films during subsequent decades. 荣誉记录：2003 年，视频软件经销商协会授予两兄弟乔治·卡林言论自由奖。该奖项是为了表彰两兄弟“非凡的喜剧天赋和对宪法第一修正案的坚定支持”。同年，他们两人均获得圣何塞州立大学的荣誉博士学位。2008 年，波士顿喜剧节向两兄弟颁发了终身成就奖。 2008 年 9 月，在第 60 届黄金时段艾美奖颁奖典礼上， 《斯莫瑟斯兄弟喜剧时刻》的首席编剧汤米·斯莫瑟斯被授予 1968 年艾美奖喜剧类剧集杰出编剧奖。该奖项由该节目的原创编剧之一史蒂夫·马丁颁发给他。1968 年，汤米·斯莫瑟斯拒绝让自己的名字出现在艾美奖提名编剧名单上，因为他觉得自己的名字太具争议性，因此当编剧团队获奖时，他是唯一一位没有获得该奖的成员。 斯莫瑟斯兄弟于 2010 年入选美国电视艺术学院名人堂。1989年， 他们在好莱坞星光大道上荣获一颗星。 2022 年 6 月 18 日，斯莫瑟斯兄弟在内布拉斯加州诺福克举行的美国喜剧节闭幕式上获得了约翰尼·卡森喜剧传奇奖。
