In honor of the 50th Anniversary of Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In, here’s the full episode (2.19 – the Valentine’s Day Special from 1969) when Davy Jones guest starred. He first appears at 19:54, then in a sketch at 20:03 and 30:07, 34:46, and with Goldie Hawn at 41:16, and at 57:06 – but the whole episode is a hilarious time capsule of the era so watch when you can.
Another fun Monkees connection to make is that the Emmy Award-wining Laugh-In writing staff included The Monkees alumni Coslough Johnson and David Panich.
Final trivia fun, the writing staff also included a young writer who has done much for comedy since then….Lorne Michaels.
