Answer: Animal Crackers

Shirley Temple wowed us at such a young age. She had those adorable little curls and that pouty face, and she could shed a tear when she wanted to.

She was simply adorable singing, "Animal Crackers in my Soup" in the movie "Curly Top" in 1935.

Answer: The Joker

The character, the Joker, first appeared in the "Batman" comics. Many actors gave unique laughter to the Joker, yet my favorite would probably be Jack Nicholson or the original television series with Cesar Romero. Heath Ledger won the supporting actor Oscar for his role.

Answer: Snickers

A snicker is also defined as a smothered or half-suppressed laugh according to Webster's dictionary. It's also an awesome tasting candy bar made by Mars.

Answer: Rowan & Martin's Laugh In

Dan Rowan and Dick Martin kept us laughing for six seasons. It was an hour show of absolutely nothing but crazy and fun antics and skits.

Arte Johnson used to look at you and say, "Very interesting," while Lily Tomlin would be an operator using the words, "One ringy-dingy".

At the end of the show, Dan would always say to Dick, "Say goodnight, Dick". Dick would respond with, "Good night, Dick."

Answer: Larry, Moe, and Curly

The three zany gentlemen known as Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard formed the stooges. Others played the three characters over the years, but these three were the most memorable.

Surprisingly the boys played in over 200 films. If you close your eyes, you can almost hear "yuck yuck yuck"!

Answer: Solitude

The quote in the poem is, "laugh and the world laughs with you... weep and you weep alone." Ella left us this quote in 1918. It makes sense, we all want to laugh and enjoy making people laugh. But the time of sadness is truly alone time. Not many people standing by our sides to help us through the rough times.

To complete the poem.

"For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own."

Answer: Cole Porter

Emmett Kelly, Red Skelton, Ronald McDonald and Bozo were some of the famous clowns. Emmett was our 'sad clown' for many years. He was known as "Weary Willie" and always had a sad face. Red had his own television show from 1951 to 1971. Bozo was the clown on the "Bozo" show on WGN in Chicago. Of course, everyone knows Ronald.

"Make 'em Laugh" was performed by Gene Kelly in the movie, "Singin' in the Rain" with Debbie Reynolds. The tune was the same as "Be a clown".
