We have "entertainment" which in the Library of Congress definition is for
television, movies, and comedians.
Actually we should have fused
Arts and Architecture and Entertainment together and created a "Humor"
category, and that would make things quite nice.
But I am a fan of the LOC categories anyway.

I believe there is a humor category. I know I've put books in this
category before, perhaps I've lost it.
