What Makes You Laugh? We asked funny people to tell us what they think is funny. STORY BY DAVID WARNER
T
wo years ago we changed the theme of our annual healthy-living issue from Health & Wellness to Health & Happiness, and in keeping with the theme we asked a variety of folks “What makes you happy?” Last year’s H&H issue focused on the health care heroes getting us through the pandemic, but in this year’s edition we’re back to asking a question: “What makes you laugh?” Because how could we have gotten through the last
year without the occasional relief of a good hearty chortle? I’m a sucker for New Yorker cartoons, old SNL skits, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! on NPR, YouTube pet videos — and just about all the people on these pages. Whether they’re professional laugh-getters, brilliant social jokesters or, simply, shiny happy people, they’ve made us laugh many a time — and I hope they do the same for you.
