A Mad-Libbing Extravaganza!
|
A party game, Mad Libs were created in the United States in 1953 by comedian Roger Price and Leonard Stern, head writer for The Steve Allen Show. Introduced on the show, mad libs quickly gained popularity. Mad Libs are short stories with key words removed. The player is asked to replace these missing words with another word from the same part of speech. The result is a quirky often humorously nonsensical story.
