The duo appeared regularly on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson and The Merv Griffin Show.
They also toured comedy clubs nationwide and headlined shows at major Las Vegas casinos in the 1960s until they split up in 1968, the newspaper reported.

I met them in 1964, in the lobby of the Concord Hotel in Kiamesha Lake New York. I was working as a busboy. It was early afternoon and they looked very tired.
