 In the 1970s, comedy albums developed a reputation for being targeted towards college students, being countercultural and not being allowed on TV.Notable artists were among others George Carlin, Cheech and Chong, Richard Pryor, Robert Klein, David Steinberg, Lily Tomlin, National Lampoon and Steve Martin.The Firesign Theatre, an improvisational surreal radio comedy troupe formed on Los Angeles KPFK FM on November 6, 1966, released in January 1968 a tightly-scripted comedy album "Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him" on Columbia Records.
