Johnson is best known for his work on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, an American television show (1968–1973), on which he played various characters including "Wolfgang", a smoking World War II German soldier scouting the show from behind a bush (still fighting the war !) , invariably commenting on the preceding sketch with the catch phrase "Very interesting ..." followed by either a comic observation or misinterpretation, or simply "but stupid!"
In 1976, he voiced the animated cartoon character "Misterjaw", a blue German-accented shark (with a bow tie and top hat) who liked to leap out of the water and shout "HEEGotcha!" or "Gotcha!" at unsuspecting folks on The Pink Panther Laugh and a Half Hour and a Half Show. He also voiced the character Rhubarb on The Houndcats.
Later in the 1970s, he hosted the NBC game show Knockout.
In 1979 he played Renfield, the comic sidekick of George Hamilton's Dracula, in 'Love At First Bite'.
In 1985 he played "Uncle Buckle-Up" in an episode of The A-Team.
In 1990 Johnson appeared in an episode of Night Court.
