{Jordan Ramin's idea} was to do a rock and roll novelty record that
featured the famous laugh of radio personality Peter Roberts. He was a
popular veteran newscaster and had moved from WNBC to WINS along with
comedians Bob and Ray in March 1954. Bob and Ray would frequently
purposefully try to crack up Roberts during his morning newscasts. His
laugh was distinctive and unforgettable and would seem to go on
forever, punctuated by him sighing "Ho-ho!". It got to the point where
his laughing fits were recorded by the show's engineers and kept ready
for use to be played spontaneously on-air for laughs.

Jordan Ramin sold Roberts on doing the record and melded previously
recorded laugh tracks made by WINS director/soundman Vic Cowan with a
new instrumental performed by Sid Ramin's musicians. Jordan Ramin
personally executed the interesting and fairly innovative reverb
effects that make the song so memorable.

I discovered this record as the last track on the compilation Novelty
