Molly Livingstone joins Eve Harow for a serious conversation about comedy. Israel's surreality is fertile ground for utilizing humor as a major coping method but is also an effective way to build bridges and foster mutual understanding. Molly's dream is to one day open a Jewish Comedy Center in Jerusalem; for now this mother of 4 with a husband in reserve duty is literally getting her jollies wherever she can. Be in touch with her. Your life will be brighter for it.

Send us a textReady for some weekend laughs? Scott Edwards delivers comedy gold with headliner Ronnie Kenny, a comedian whose impressive resume includes serving as house emcee at major clubs nationwide and numerous television appearances.Kenny wastes no time connecting with audiences through his hilarious take on exercise avoidance. "Today I did a sit-up. Have you tried one of those lately? I got real lightheaded. I stopped that immediately, boy. I got up, grabbed a beer and a cigarette and laid back down again." His self-deprecating humor strikes a chord with anyone who's ever made half-hearted attempts at fitness.The comedian then launches into a brilliant comparison of whiskey drinkers versus beer drinkers when confronted by police, showcasing whiskey drinkers' quick-witted excuses ("This is a stealth car. I bought it from the Air Force") against beer drinkers' hilariously incriminating honesty ("Of course I was speeding. I'm out of beer"). Kenny's observational skills shine brightest when tackling laws against drunk bicycle riding, where he imagines ridiculous PSA campaigns: "Friends don't let friends pedal drunk." His expert timing and delivery transform everyday absurdities into comedy gold.Scott Edwards wraps up this bite-sized comedy treat by praising Kenny as "always great with audiences, always very funny."

We don't think twice about using a fork today, but our ancestors didn't love it - and they were pretty sure God wouldn't approve, either. Since the 1950s, artificial laugh tracks have helped ensure that jokes land on sitcoms from I Love Lucy to Friends to The Big Bang Theory. Let's meet the man responsible.http://www.commutethepodcast.comFollow Commute:Instagram - instagram.com/commutethepodcast/Twitter - @PodcastCommuteFacebook - facebook.com/commutethepodcast

TV is supposedly still great, which is why it's strange that we're talking about shows from 20 years ago. Also kid's shows, but those don't get quite the same recognition. Even modern shows are probably better than what Mae did the other day though.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Decoder Ring is marking its 100th episode this year. To celebrate, we're revisiting our very first episode from 2018, which asks: What happened to the laugh track? For nearly five decades, the laugh track was ubiquitous, but beginning in the early 2000s, it fell out of sitcom fashion. What happened? How did we get from The Beverly Hillbillies to 30 Rock? In this episode we meet the man who created the laugh track, which originated as a homemade piece of technology, and trace that technology's fall and the rise of a more modern idea about humor. With the help of historians, laugh track obsessives, the showrunners of One Day at a Time and the director of Sports Night, this episode asks if the laugh track was about something bigger than laughter.You can read more in Willa's article “The Man Who Perfected the Laugh Track” in Slate.Links and further reading on some of the things we discussed on the show: Interview with Ben Glenn II on the history of the laugh track in McSweeney's See a Charlie Douglas Laff Box on Antiques Roadshow More of Paul Iverson's work restoring laugh tracks and inserting them into new shows The sitcom One Day at a Time Friends without a Laugh Track by Sboss “The Okeh Laughing Record” Tommy Schlamme and Aaron Sorkin's Sports NightThis episode was written by Willa Paskin. It was produced and edited by Benjamin Frisch, who also created the episode art.
