Make Me Laugh

1997–1998 · 2 seasons

A breezy, silly half-hour of comedians trying to crack a straight face, easy to dip in and out of.

Tagline: The show that forgives your sins unless they involve innocent squirrels.
Overview: An updated version of the 1979 game show of the same name. The object of the game was not to laugh at the comedians. Various comedians would have one minute each to make the contestant laugh. If the contestant were able to keep a straight face, he or she would win prize money and go on to face another comedian, and so on until at last they met a joke they couldn't resist.
How it feels: Light, absurd and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Media, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
