Can You Top This?

von

Can You Top This? is a comedy quiz show built around jokes and the challenge of topping them. Contestants tell jokes, while a panel of professional joke-tellers responds with its own attempts to outdo the original.

Hosted by Peter Donald, the program features regular panelists Senator Ed Ford, Harry Hershfield, and Joe Laurie Jr. The jokes are presented as a lively contest, with the panel’s quick replies and comic reactions providing much of the entertainment.

The result is a fast-moving showcase for one-liners, wordplay, and old-fashioned joke-telling. Its appeal lies in hearing performers compete for the biggest laugh, making it a light, conversational listen for fans of classic radio comedy.
