Leonard Stern and Roger Price created Mad Libs ? in
the 1950s and the series has been a favorite among kids of all
ages ever since. Although Roger Price passed away in 1990, Leonard
Stern keeps the tradition alive by writing new Mad Libs
? all the time.
Roger Price and Leonard Stern are both well known for their comedy
writing. In the 1950s Roger Price created and developed cartoons
called Droodles, which were turned into a television show.
Before that Price worked with Bob Hope on a newspaper humor column,
and he even appeared on Broadway in Tickets, Please!
Leonard Stern has an equally colorful and varied history. Before
co-founding Price Stern Sloan with Roger Price (Sloan came later),
Stern was a successful television writer. In addition to his creative
involvement with over twenty television series and over ten motion
pictures, Stern worked with Jackie Gleason in New York writing
the Honeymooners. He also wrote for the Phil Silvers
Show, The Steve Allen Show, and wrote and produced
the original Get Smart television series. Recently, Stern
published A Martian Wouldn't Say That, which compiled weird
and wacky memos written by people in the entertainment industry.
Currently, Stern serves as a senior vice president of Price Stern
Sloan, where he still writes those hilarious Mad Libs ?.
