幽默感是國際的共通語言。
喬依古德曼
(Joel Goodman)

日夜背負著可怕的沈重壓力,如果再不笑的話,我可能會死去。亞伯拉罕林肯

現在,我們在許多地方都可以找到幽默感,電視、電影、書本、電台及網際網路只是提供喜劇的部分媒介。但身處20世紀的人們最常用來享受幽默感的方式則是去觀賞綜藝節目秀,這是一種包括了喜劇演員、舞者、歌手、表演動物、特技演員及魔術師的綜藝表演。現今的幽默感多源自於綜藝節目秀,直到1932年之後才漸漸沒落,當時一流的綜藝表演戲院「紐約的皇宮戲院Palace Theater也是在那之後,才將真人秀置換成影片播放。

Humor is a universal language.
Joel Goodman

With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.
Abraham Lincoln

Today, we find humor from many sources. TV, movies, books, radio, and the Internet are just some of the mediums used to offer comedy. But at the turn of the 20th century, the most common way to enjoy humor was to attend a vaudeville show, a variety show that might include comedians, dancers, singers, performing animals, acrobats, and magicians. Much of today's humor evolved from vaudeville, which began to decline in popularity after 1932. It was at that time that the leading vaudeville theater, the Palace Theater in New York, replaced live acts with film.
