It's hard to believe that Jaye P. Morgan was almost 50 here. She looks amazing.

Jaye P. seemed to always be the same age in all the decades she was active; 1950's through the 1980's. It was like she was always the same person, same age, but in different hair styles and different fashions of the time. She's like Dorian Gray!

I absolutely love this show. I recall it from my young days and have always wanted it brought back… in a clean way.. not today’s raunch.

this is when Television was an unadulterated Fun no pretending just fun, unlike today's garbage TV shows, Make Me Laugh was short-lived but not to a lot of us, Life in the 70's was sweeter!

My two favorite ALL-TIME comedy programs: 1. Make Me Laugh of the late 1970's w/ Kirchenbauer, Gallagher and Baum. And 2. Def Comedy Jam on HBO Friday nights in the early 1990's.

Both rogers are gone now these guys were definitely underrated they were absolutely comical and hilarious!😆

Loved this show, sure TV was simpler back then but I watched every night! Used to be a great hour in Detroit 11pm Make Me Laugh, 11:30 Benny Hill Show...great stuff!

@@mjrydsfast This was probably my first experience with late night comedy TV. Later in the early or mid-'80s, KTLA did air The Kenny Everett Video Show, but I already appreciated British TV comedy with Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Goodies and The Benny Hill Show on KCOP Ch. 13.

Jared, I noticed this was from a VCR tape. Thanks for posting man.

"One more time!" ... shades of Chuckie on the Gong Show.

Bill Berry was the shows original announcer in the early episodes and was replaced by the voice of "Jeopardy!" himself, Johnny Gilbert for the remainder run of the series. Plus, my hometown station WUAB (now MY-43) in Cleveland, Ohio aired this show during the late night hours.

JP a laugher. I love it

I couldn’t remember what show was on after the Gong Show until now! 11pm on ch 50 Detroit!

The Paramount TV "Blue Mountain" logo at 22:47. I wish if "Make Me Laugh" would plaster them with the current CBS TV Distribution logo. Not sure. I used to watched them on USA since I was a kid.

Sadly, a show like this just couldn't work today; most people wouldn't laugh, because they have no idea what humor is.

One of the best episodes!!! Jaye made the show. The comedians really were funny.

Hmmm. One contestant's originally from Wallingford, CT. while another's from Cranston, Rhode Island. They both must have the show carried from either one of the stations, WPIX-11 (New York) and/or WLVI-56 Boston. I was from Groton, Connecticut back in 1979 (and still am to this day) and had both stations on a Zentih that carried virtually every Boston channel and just 2 New York channels, 9 and 11.

So this episode was from a summer rerun from about 1979 or 1980.

Are there any episode of MML with the Paramount logo with the 1979 theme

Be amazing if Larry David was one of the comics.

When the show first began they would put on these contestants that must have just left a funeral because no one would laugh, then they began pulling out contestants from the audience, usually women, either perky and giddy or looking really good, then they added the celebrities to close the show and then it began rolling,..but after the one season Bobby Van quickly passed away.

I think the attractive female contestants were one of the show's keys to success...or maybe it just seemed that way to my 15-year-old mind(lol). The celebrity guests were usually pretty cool, too; I remember "Dirty Dan" McBride from Sha Na Na doing the show, plus The Hudson Brothers: "Wanna see our imitation of Bobby Van?(in unison, pulling the outer corners of their eyes back) 'A hundred and eighty dollars, a hundred and eighty dollars!"(lol). Loved it😊

That honor goes to WPIX TV 11 (Home of the Magic Garden!). They would always air it late nights around 11:00, 11:30 PM (Est.) when most network TV stations had local news on.

This show only lasted one season because Bobby Van passed away in 1980.

@@jh6925 the very first version of this show premiered in 1958. My ex-roomie appeared on the Ken Ober version - and lost in the lightning round after advancing past other contestants under the show's revised rules. I myself went on to compete in the updated, live version of The Gong Show (EXTREME GONG) - and tied with a singer. The show gave us both the money. The original Gong Show was so popular, it's the only competition show of it's kind to have been made into a full-length, theatrically released film - featuring the naughty Jaye P. Morgan.

Jaye P Morgan is the WORST person for this. That's a compliment.
