Gelotology (LAUGHTER) with Lee Berk

Published: Feb. 6, 2018, 5 a.m.

b'The. Study. Of. Laughter. It exists, and it\'s called gelotology. In one of the oddly more somber episodes, Alie sits down with Dr. Lee Berk, a doctor who is "serious about laughter" and has dedicated decades to hunting down how humor affects the body. Learn about what makes a joke a joke, the science behind happiness, why you laugh when you\'re nervous, if comedians are naturally depressed or if that\'s a myth, and why some people get paid to tickle rats. Gelotology is an actual science and as Alie learns, it really is no laughing matter.'
