==Revival== In 1977, Schlatter and NBC briefly revived the property as a series of specials β titled simply ''Laugh-In'' β with a new cast. The standout was a then-unknown [[Robin Williams]], whose starring role on ABC's ''[[Mork & Mindy]]'' one year later prompted NBC to rerun the specials as a summer series in 1979. Also featured were [[Wayland Flowers and Madame]] (as well as his other puppet, "Jiffy"), former child [[Evangelism|evangelist]] [[Marjoe Gortner]], former ''Barney Miller'' actress [[June Gable]], ''Good Times'' actor [[Ben Powers]], [[Bill Rafferty]] of ''Real People'' and comedian [[Ed Bluestone]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Vanocur |first=Sander |title=The Son Of 'Laugh-In' |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1977/05/25/the-son-of-laugh-in/b5cffe1d-ded1-4164-b189-e17a234087b3/ |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |location=Washington, D.C., United States |date=May 25, 1977 |access-date=April 2, 2022}}</ref> [[Barry Goldwater]] appeared in three episodes.<ref>{{IMDb name|nm0326400|Barry Goldwater}}</ref> Rowan and Martin, who owned part of the ''Laugh-In'' franchise, were not involved in this project. They sued Schlatter for using the format without their permission, and won a judgment of $4.6 million in 1980. In 1987, [[George Schlatter]] attempted a revival of the program called ''George Schlatter's Comedy Club'', the weekly half-hour program that appeared in syndication through [[King World Productions]] during the 1987-1988 television season. Featuring stand-up comedy routines alongside quick comedy sketches similar to ''Laugh-In'', the series was hosted by Schlatter himself.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Gelman |first=Morrie |date=September 9, 1987 |title='Laugh-In' Creator Schlatter Tries Reworking Click Comedy Format For New Weekly Syndie Series |page=44 |work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]}}</ref> In 2019, Netflix produced a special tribute to the original series entitled, ''Still Laugh-In: The Stars Celebrate''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.vulture.com/2019/05/trailer-netflixs-still-laugh-in-the-stars-celebrate.html|title=Check Out the Star-studded Trailer for Netflix's ''Laugh-In'' Tribute|author=Wright, Meg|date=May 9, 2019|work=Vulture|access-date=October 15, 2020}}</ref> Tomlin, Buzzi and Worley appeared in the special.
