We Can Make You Laugh Two Get Cash By Stan Hudy he “We Can Make You Laugh” team entertained the campus on Monday, Feb. 24, 1986. The group practiced its comedy be- fore a packed lunchtime crowd in the Student Center. Contestants had to withstan d six minutes of comedy (two minutes from each member of the trio) without a smily. Successful sober chal- lengers won $25. The team consisted of three midwestern comedians: Joe Dunkell, ‘Anthony Griffin, and Danny ‘Wild Man’ Ballard. The comedians were on a nationwide tour that spanned 37 states and included 362 shows. Before the contest, each comedian gave a small sampling of his own speciality. Dunker, the founder of the trio, was the master of ceremonies. Griffin, the youngest member of the trio, used sound effects to give his jokes empha- sis and “Wild Man’’ Ballard was truly wild. The names of all the contestants were drawn at random from a duffle bag. If the contestant smiled, closed his eyes, or did anything close to a giggle, they were disqualified. Of his successful effort, winner Al- bert Ash said, “You had to think of things practically. | was nervous.” Of the noon program, Ash said, “I think it was wonderful, one of the best things BCC has had in a long time.” Maurice Taylor, one of the contes- tants who lost to the antics of Anthony Griffin, said, “It was fun. | always watch it on TV and say that | wouldn’t laugh. It’s different when you're up there.” For six minutes Heather Vogler and Ash withstood an onslaught of silly masks, strange sounds and corny jokes without cracking a smile, blinking an eye or stiffling a giggle. For their efforts, they earned $25. The pair were the only two (out of nine who tried) to successfully stand up to the comedy of the trio who made up the “We Can Make You Laugh” team.
