Arte Johnson, Laugh-In star, dead at 90

Was he the dirty old man? My aunt once showed the family a video where she played Gladys Ormphby hitting him with her purse.

There is at least one other celebrity with a similar name, which made me think he has been a lot more active in recent years than he really was.

He was indeed "The Dirty Old Man" constantly hitting on Ruth Buzzi (and getting the worst in return).

I seem to remember them "chuming up" only to have Tyrone go back immediately to his pseudo porn mode whereupon she would lose it again and begin punching.

Best show on TV for several years. Big hit with the younger set too although there was a ton of political and adult humor. I remember walking by a local high school one evening when the director told his band "OK, you guys get this right and we'll leave early so you can watch Laugh-In".
