Roger Price and LeonardStern 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
comedywriting. 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.
