Seinfeld funnier than Jackie Gleason? Says who?

  • Being funny is something you...

Fifty-six percent of Americans think that being funny is something you can develop over time from life experiences. It jumps to 69 percent for people under the age of 30 (maybe they think there's an app for that). Thirty-five percent think that being funny is innate, a gift that one is born with. Those in the minority would be more inclined to agree with the fabled line: "Dying is easy, it's comedy that is hard."
