Television producer George Schlatter, creator of "Laugh-In" and "Real People," was honored with a sidewalk star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Dudley Moore, Sarah Purcell and Dinah Shore were among 250 people standing in front of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Tuesday to witness the unveiling of the walk's 1,885th star."George has eluded his keepers for years," quipped Shore, whose "Dinah Shore Chevy Show" was produced by Schlatter.

Throughout his career as a producer, director and writer, Schlatter has been responsible for more than 1,000 hours of television.

A special selection committee chooses sidewalk star recipients, and sponsors pay a $3,500 fee.
