===Season 6=== Season 6 (1972β1973): This was ''Laugh-In''<nowiki/>'s final season. Rowan and Martin assumed the executive producer roles from [[George Schlatter]] and [[Ed Friendly]]. A new set was designed that mixed abstract art with muted [[psychedelia]] colors. There was once again a visible studio audience. Ian Bernard, the show's musical director, and five other musicians became participants in the Cocktail Party scenes as the house band known as "Ian Bernard and His Band at Large". Owens would often incorrectly introduce them as "Ian Bernard and His Band of [[Irvine, California|Irvine]] Quickies", " ...His Band of Lard" or "...His Band of Lies". Also new for the first few episodes was a group of six women dancers called "The Downtown Beauties", referring to the show's running joke of "beautiful downtown Burbank". The members of this group were in the Cocktail Party scenes and the group was featured for many of the musical numbers. The known names of these dancers are Janice Pennington, Mary Rowan (Dan's daughter), and Adele Yoshioko. Cast (returning veterans): Allen, Buzzi, Dawson, Owens, and Tomlin. (New members:) child actor [[Moosie Drier]], promoted to cast member and teamed with child actor Tod Bass, character comedian Brian Bressler (up to episode 10), comedienne [[Patti Deutsch]], German model Lisa Farringer (episodes 13β24), [[Sarah Kennedy (actor)|Sarah Kennedy]], folksy singer-comedian [[Jud Strunk]], ventriloquist act [[Willie Tyler]] and Lester, and Donna Jean Young. Former regular Jo Anne Worley returned for two guest appearances, including the series finale. Although Owens was not in the 1967 pilot and Buzzi was not in two episodes of season 1, of the more than three dozen entertainers to join the cast over the years only Rowan, Martin, Owens, and Buzzi were present from beginning to end. This last season was not George Schlatter's property, so it was not included in the edited and condensed rerun package of half-hour episodes that was syndicated (through [[Lorimar Productions]]) to local stations in 1983 and later to [[Nick at Nite]] in 1987. Season 6 ultimately was shown for the first time since its original 1972 -1973 run when the entire series of full, uncut episodes began airing on [[Decades (TV network)|Decades]] in 2017.
