Stop Me If You've Heard This One was a comedy game show where comedians tried to guess a joke's punchline.
Gameplay[]
Everyday people sent in jokes that were read to a panel of three comedians. If one of the panelists recognized the story, he/she would yell "Stop!" and continue it to its conclusion. Each joke used on the show awarded the person a prize, and won a bonus prize if the panel couldn't finish it correctly. In the 1947 version, a used joke was awarded $5, and if the comedian did not give the correct ending, the person won additional money: $1 for each comedian who didn't finish the joke correctly, and a total of $15 if none of them could.
Trivia[]
This show, along with Can You Top This?, would later serve as inspiration for a British panel game called Jokers Wild (not to be confused with the Barry & Enright game show of the same name.
