I posted this in the Gameshow forum, hoping someone here can help me out... been looking for a clip forever.
The segment was from the New Truth or Consequences (the 80s version).
A guy was brought onstage from the audience who has a particularly silly laugh. Whenever something funny happened throughout the rest of the show, he had to do the laugh to get the audience to laugh with him. If he failed (it was a set-up so he always failed), he was pied and/or had things dumped on him. This continued throughout the show, including a bikini model sitting on his lap as he was pied--very funny stuff.
I remember the old show with Bob Barker...one of the few shows you could count on for pie in the face challenges (even if they were lemon meringue pies, which did not stick well).

Right? And the latter "New TorC" show did a pretty good job of trying to fill those shoes, even though the sequel is rarely as good as the original.
There's a few vids from the new version on YouTube, but unfortunately the episode that I'm looking for hasn't been posted as-yet. Fingers crossed there's a way to get other episodes, or someone who sees this post has it and can link!
