Roger Price and Leonard Stern 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.
