Giveaway — Make ‘Em Laugh
Hosted by Billy Crystal and narrated by Amy Sedaris, Make ‘Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America is a documentary series chronicling more than a century of the funniest moments in American entertainment. Recorded in high definition, the set also includes exclusive bonus footage. The series began January 14, and for the following two Wednesdays, the series premiered on PBS; check local listings for exact broadcast times.
Make ‘em Laugh melds performances, biographical portraits, and American history to illustrate how comedy has mirrored the political and social changes in American society. Each hour-long episode focuses on a different genre of comedy, from slapstick and satire to stand-up and sitcoms.
Make ‘Em Laugh compiles the most popular routines, the most ingenious physical shtick, the snappiest wisecracks, and the most incisive, biting satirical jokes to have come out of American culture. The list of influential comedic talent featured and/or interviewed for the series includes: Charlie Chaplin, Jack Benny, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Sid Caesar, Judd Apatow, Woody Allen, Larry Wilmore, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Richard Lewis, Jon Stewart, and many others.
I sat down, watched and laughed. The talented and very funny Billy Crystal exhibit impeccable comedic timing while hosting a belly full of laughs that is endless as time itself. Make ‘em Laugh belongs in your library.

I’ve seen part of this series on PBS and it’s just GREAT, very comprehensive and very sensitive to the comedians involved.
Caught the tail end of this special on PBS and would love the chance to see the rest of it — the makers seemed to do a great job of compiling both classic and lesser-known clips of comedy legends from the past century. Thanks for the chance to win!
