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.
