Decades pays tribute to Arte Johnson all this week on Laugh-In

Last week, the comedy world lost a legend in Arte Johnson. As a regular cast member of the cutting-edge variety show Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, Johnson crafted unforgettable comedic characters like Wolfgang the German Soldier, Piotr Rosmenko ("The Eastern European Man") and Tyrone F. Horneigh.

Each zany persona delivered laughs — and catchphrases. Boomers have been quoting Wolfgang's "Verrry interesting!" for half a century.

All this week, Monday through Friday at 7p ET | 4p PT, Decades proudly presents hand-selected episodes of Laugh-In that showcase his genius. Relive some of Johnson's funniest moments as a sketch-comedy sparkplug on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.
