Gibson's breakthrough came in 1968 when he was cast as a member of the original ensemble of NBC's top-rated "Laugh-In," on which he performed for three seasons. Each week, a giant flower in his hand, he recited a signature poem, introducing them with the catchphrase that became his signature: "A Poem, by Henry Gibson."
"I hate Illinois Nazis!!!"
Ya, he was great in The Blues Brothers.
also in The Burbs with tom hanks.

Actually, I loved Henry Gibson too. God bless him.
Remember he used to ride that little tricycle and then fall over? And, "very interesting, but stupid" catch phrase.
