Laughs For Sale is an American television comedy/variety series. It ran one season.[1]

Similar to the much later American Idol, each episode provided an opportunity for a novice comedy writer to have material, including sketches, performed by a professional comedian.[2] The material was then evaluated and offered to television producers, who could contact the show.[3]
