Yeah, in the early 90's.

As what everyone else is saying happened, they have not only big blinking signs telling you to laugh, they have some crazy yelling dude who is like the hype-man...sort of cheerleader and he's running around in the front back and forth trying to pump up the crowd and really put effort into our fake laughs.

We also went to sitcoms in LA because they paid you $10 and that was beer money for us back then.

Every show does the same thing...and it's contagious, you are in this weird setting and once most people laugh, everyone just sort of does it. It's not really real. You're getting paid.

Seen Fallon and Letterman
Maroon 5 was the musical guest back when they still played rock and roll, and they were phenomenal. I absolutely loved Letterman as a kid and it was a dream seeing him. Looking back, meeting Rupert G at the Hello Deli was probably more fun. Letterman got so lazy, he wasn't very good, and the show was lackluster.

Fallon was like going on a drug binge for 2 hours. Stand-up prior to the show as good, and Fallon ran through the crowd twice. The crowd was amped and went ape shite most of the show. Jeff Daniels announced the new Dumb and Dumber that night and I booed and almost got ejected.
