Tommy Smothers is best known as half of the musical comedy team The Smothers Brothers with his brother, Dick Smothers.Tom was portrayed as the "dumb one". "I first realised I was funny in about the 4th or 5th grade. I was dyslexic and I had no idea what that was. I was always the last one to get the spelling thing--the dumb one. I always played that, pretending I was stupid." "The thing about being dyslexic, I also have to search for words--it's not just reading. I think of things and words don't come. I never did stutter, but there were these little lapses. It was a gift as far as comedy timing was concerned."
