Alan Sues, ‘Laugh-In’ regular, dies 85

Alan Grigsby Sues (March 7, 1926 – December 1, 2011) was an American comic actor widely known for his roles on the 1968–1973 television series Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. Sues’ on-screen persona was campy, outrageous and contained verbal slapstick; typical of his humor was a skit that found him following a pair of whiskey-drinking cowboys to a Wild West bar and requesting a frozen daiquiri. Sues’ recurring characters on the program included Big Al the Sportscaster and Uncle Al the Kiddie’s Pal. He also parodied castmate JoAnne Worley when she left the show, appearing in drag.


He was the only known gay man on TV at that time.
