I’d like to congratulate everyone who entered my Make Me Laugh Challenge! I thank everyone who entered because you helped make my 28th birthday special by providing me plenty of smiles, chuckles, laughs and even a few belly laughs!

Yesterday, I asked a seven-year-old how old he thought I was. He answered, “62.” Am I that dull?

I was delighted to find that the sheer number of quality entries made it difficult to judge this challenge. If I don’t mention your entry, it doesn’t mean I didn’t love it. It only means that I ran out of space.

I have picked my 16 Favorites, which will fight in a single-elimination tournament to crown the champion.
