I am looking for a video of Tommy Smothers' speech at The Emmys

Several friends called me and said he was brilliant and I really need to hear his speech. Does anyone have a link to it? I looked on youtube and can't find it.

Thanks!

1. Have you done a search on YouTube?

If, in your search, you come across some old clips of his act please play them here. I'd forgotten all about Tommy. Those guys were great. Wish they had a current show on cable or something. They
could give John Stewart a run for his money. Of course I don't have cable OR watch much t.v.....

2. Yes I searched youtube

Nothing there yet.

3. I don't know which network it was on. Try the tv network's site.

4. Good idea

I don't know the network either. But that would be easy to find out.

5. NBC maybe?

6. Found the quote

"It's hard for me to stay silent when I keep hearing that peace is only attainable through war. And there's nothing more scary than watching ignorance in action," he said, dedicating his award to "all people who feel compelled to speak out, and are not afraid to speak to power, and won't shut up and refuse to be silenced."

7. In my opinion it was the best part of the show, the rest was a drag.

I must be fair I didn't watch all of it because it put me to sleep. But he was great!
