註釋Why are chickens funnier than ducks? Can humor help us cope with tragedy? And what makes funny, well, funny? To answer such questions we look back at some of the most humorous moments from The Infinite Mind, with guests including stand-up comedians, humor columnists, and a surprise visit from Jonathan Katz, the voice of Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist and Dr. Harold Stein on the new IFC TV series ?Hopeless Pictures.' We listen to past interviews with star comedians Robert Klein, Lewis Black, and Margaret Cho as they relate their experiences in the comedy industry, and the knowledge they've gleaned. We hear a clinical explanation of how humor can help assuage fear and pain from Stanford University's Dr. David Spiegel, and humorist Al Franken relates a very sobering example of this and its relevance during the aftermath of September 11th. Other guests include author, columnist, and professional hypochondriac, Gene Weingarten, BrainBanker and singer, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, and two of the original members of the Firesign Theater, Phil Proctor and Peter Bergman. With commentary by John Hockenberry.
