The Great American Joke Off
This new series will leave you laughing as it celebrates gags, wisecracks, one-liners and the simple art of telling a great joke. Teams tell as many quick jokes as possible on various categories, mashing different subjects together to create ridiculous puns, coming up with hilarious set-ups to different punchlines, and even using the texts on an audience member’s phone as a springboard for jokes over the course of rounds. Host Dulcé Sloan decides which team has won each round based on who she thinks has been the funniest.

Movie: The Ten Commandments
Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner and Anne Baxter star in director Cecil B. DeMille’s final film, the 1956 biblical epic about the life of Moses. The picture’s first-rate visual effects include the parting of the Red Sea — and bear in mind what a wonder that was for moviegoers at the time, well before the computer-generated effects of today. Yvonne De Carlo, Nina Foch, John Derek and Vincent Price co-star, with little Fraser Heston as the infant Moses.
