Who remembers the show "Make Me Laugh"?

[Left Is Write]

It was first hosted by Ken Ober, then by Mark Cohen. (It was the Kevin Meany references on another thread that made me think of it.)

When my husband and I were first married, we looked forward to lazy Saturday mornings with a big breakfast while watching "Talk Soup" (the Jon Henson version) and "Make Me Laugh."

1. I remember it, and it was very funny at times.

2. I think I remember this, but it's way vague.

When did it air, approximately?

3. Talk Soup

When Jon Henson had a career and my daughter was young. I enjoyed it very much. Looked forward to it.

Henson is currently writing a screenplay in collaboration with Kevin Nealon on a project for Adam Sandler and Revolution Studios.

4. I seem to remember a version hosted by Bobby Van

Late '70s or very early '80s, if I recall correctly. And yeah, it was damn funny.

I remember Gary Mule Deer playing "Folsom Prison Blues" and using Doritos Brand Corn Chips as picks. I don't know why THAT was the bit that sticks out in my mind.

7. I checked the Game Show Encyclopedia, and you are correct...

Robert Q. Lewis hosted the first version in 1958, and Bobby Van hosted a version in 1979-1980. Repeats of that version aired on USA in 1984-1986.

The versions I watched (Ken Ober and Mark Cohen) were put on by Comedy Central and aired in the 90s.

Early MTV...

6. Yes, used to watch it a lot as a kid. If I remember, Gallagher

was often on it.
