I wasn't familiar with the Keys, an interesting couple, and their book (The History of Sketch Comedy: A Journey through the Art and Craft of Humor) sounds like a fun and informative read as well. If you look it up on Amazon, you can then hit the "Read Sample" button and read a few pages from the book. They went back in time in an attempt to discover the world's first joke, and came up with evidence of one from around 1900 BCE. And guess what... drum roll... it was a fart joke!


The panel discussion was good, better than I expected, and the Google searches was amusing.

Overall, a very entertaining show!
