Letters to Laugh-In

In the network's attempt to entice viewer participation from the tremendously popular Rowan And Martin's Laugh-In, this short-lived game show's concept was to have celebrities read jokes from viewers and have the audience rate the joke from +100 to -100. At the end of the show, the sender of the highest (best) and lowest (worst) joke would win a prize. Being that I was twelve years old at the time, I mailed in a handful of jokes on post cards (remember those?). Two of which were read - even though they were duplicates from other viewers - one receiving a +12 and the other a +20. No prize for me. But, lots of fun watching.
