23 WAKE UP QUESTION WHO INVENTED MAD LIBS?

24 Mad Libs was invented in 19 by Leonard B. Stern and Roger Price. Stern and Price co-created the game, but couldn t agree on a name for their invention. Five years later they overheard an argument between a talent agent and an actor. The actor said that he wanted to ad-lib an upcoming interview. The agent, who clearly disagreed with the actor s suggestion, retorted that ad-libbing an interview would be mad. Hence, the name, Mad Libs.
