Rowan & Martin's Laugh Fickle Finger Of Fate Award
Any true collector of classic TV memorabilia, or those who were old enough to be able to say up at 8:00 PM on Monday nights in the late 1960's remember the country's most popular show: "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In". Long before SNL, Laugh-In was the harbinger of all that was cool and hip, and created dozens of catchphrases that are still used today, as well as introducing some of the greatest comic talents, like Goldie Hawn, Arte Johnson, Lily Tomlin, Ruth Buzzi and Jo Anne Worley. Like SNL, the outrageous (and very risqué for the day) comedy also included some rather edgy political commentary, especially with their weekly Flying Fickle Finger of Fate Award, "saluting" actual dubious "achievements" by the government or famous people. This is an extremely rare actually screen used "Fickle Finger Of Fate" award. The instantly recognizable award includes the official George Schlatter-Ed Friendly copyright stamp on the bottom, as well as an imbedded copyright stamp on the inside of the "wrist". It still has the original "Flying Fickle Finger Of Fate" plaque, and the back shows the remains of the actual text that was read on the show while presenting the award by Rowan and Martin. In addition it also includes the original iconic twine-bow around the "flying index finger". (Approx. 9.5"x6").
