COMEDY

Comedian Eddie Murphy is the celebrity with the nuttiest laugh--or ho ho--in America, say a sampling of 1,000 Americans. Comedian Phyllis Diller’s cackle is second, Roseanne Barr and Pee-wee Herman tie for third with their nutty laughs, and the ho ho’s of Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Bill Cosby and Jerry Lewis tie for fourth. Yes, there was a reason for this important bit of fact-finding. The Nuttiest Ho Ho Survey was sponsored by Continental Baking Co., which just happens to be introducing Hostess Nutty HO HOs snack cakes this fall.
