The Ace Trucking Company was one of the most innovative comedy troupes of the 1960s and 1970s. It consisted of four guys and one woman with George Memmoli, Michael Mislove, Bill Saluga, Patti Deutsch and Fred Willard. They were doing "sketch comedy" long before show such as "Saturday Night Live" (1975), "Friday" or "MADtv" (1995) ever came along.
The Ace Trucking Company appeared 35 times on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" between April 1969 and May 1975. They also performed their comedy sketches as well as improvised routines on "The Mike Douglas Show", "The Dick Cavett Show", Don Kirschner's "The Midnight Special", and "This Is Tom Jones" (as series regulars). They also appeared in the motion picture, "The Harrad Experiment", and recorded an album of improvised sketches for RCA records.
