The greatest Make Me Laugh contestant ever was... Frank Zappa?

by Danny Gallagher, posted Dec 21st 2009 10:19PM
The annals of the Game Show Hall of Fame has very few names inscribed on its walls: Press Your Luck's Michael Larson, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire's John Carpenter, Jeopardy's Ken Jennings. Now you can add Frank Zappa to that list. Yes, THAT Frank Zappa.

The man, the myth, the musical legend made a special celebrity appearance on the very short-lived '70s game show Make Me Laugh, a show that rewarded people for not laughing at comedians like Gallagher the way God intended. He never even cracked a smile, but you will when you watch it.

Today (12/21) is Frank Zappa Day in Baltimore. We have a statue and everything. No, seriously, Google it.

I saw this when it aired and have never forgotten it. It's exactly as I remembered it. You know, for someone who thought television was so bad, Zappa sure had a strange relationship with it. Thank you for posting this.
