From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ace Trucking Company was a comedy troupe that performed during the late 1960's and early-mid 1970's. Founding members were Fred Willard, Patti Deutsch, Bill Saluga, George Memmoli, and Michael Mislove. They appeared on numerous comedy and variety shows such as The Midnight Special, The Tom Jones Show, The Mike Douglas Show, The Dick Cavett Show, and The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.

They specialized in sketch comedy and although they never had a show of their own, their style of comedy was reminiscent of The Firesign Theater, The Second City, The Kids in the Hall, The Carol Burnett Show, and National Lampoon Lemmings.
