Become a producer on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/VeryNadavShow Someone made a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/VeryNadavShow/ Today we're talking about the way more-interesting-than-you'd-suspect topic: laugh tracks! We learn about the start of laugh tracks due to the ingenuity of Bing Crosby, Bobby Burns and Charley Douglass. From I LOVE LUCY to Cheers to Friends to Big Bang Theory to The Office, so many of these shows made a decision on laugh tracks and wouldn't be able to go in the other direction if they tried. We talk about the start of producers laughing during podcasts and how my laugh costed Machinima for than $250,000 to try to remove from productions. We review some famous laughs from Stavros Halkias and Ben Avery and what new function they serve in podcasts
