In September 2016 Jimmy presented a 1 hour show for BBC2, a one-off Horizon episode called Jimmy Carr and the Science of Laughter. The experts aiding him were:

• Prof. Sophie Scott
• Prof. Robin Dunbar (he of the “Dunbar number”
• Prof. Peter McGraw (see this podcast with Jimmy in 2018)
• Sara Algoe
• Laura Kurtz
• Nathan Lund
• Jaak Panskepp

Comedy.co.uk has a picture of Jimmy with the 3 Profs.

With an audience present they tried “to get to the bottom of what laughter is, why we enjoy it so much and what, if anything, it has to do with comedy.”
