Dick Van Dyke hosted this NBC game show where a celebrity panel – comprising Elaine May, Mike Nichols, Dorothy Loudon and Orson Bean – supplied comic captions for “cartoons” acted out in tableau form by a stock company of seven actors.

The winners were determined by the studio audience’s applause and reaction to the “laugh lines”.

The celebrities represented home viewers who received cash prizes accordingly.
