ABC Announces Season Premiere Of JUST FOR LAUGHS On ABC (6/21)

A Bike Ride In The Park Turns Into A Race To The Finish Line, On The Season Premiere Of ABC'S "JUST FOR LAUGHS"

A third season of ABC's hysterical hidden-camera comedy series, "Just for Laughs," premieres SUNDAY, JUNE 21 (7:00-7:30 p.m., ET). Gags include a massage chair with a mind -- and hands -- of its own, a helpful citizen carrying a flag and ending up the leader of a protest headed right for the police, a man robbing a convenience store and hiding under a lampshade in front of other patrons, and a bike ride in the park turning into a race to the finish line.

Rick Miller hosts.

"Just for Laughs" television shows are seen in over 125 countries and on over 95 airlines around the world, and in the past have been seen in the U.S. on MTV, Showtime, HBO, BBC America and Fox. Its annual festival is the world's largest and most prestigious comedy event, welcoming over two million people each summer. Over the years, the festival has featured some of the top comics in the world, including Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart, Dave Chappelle, Ray Romano and Tim Allen. This year it celebrates its 27th anniversary.

Each year over 1,000 industry executives are drawn to what is considered the hottest breeding ground for new talent. The company successfully tours across the globe, bringing some of the festival's best talent to Canada, the U.S. and Asia, and has personal management offices in Los Angeles, Paris and Montreal.
