As I watch reruns of 70's Matchgame, I find myself wondering what the origins are for the call & response setup of:

Comedian: "My ________ is so __________..."
Audience (interrupting): "How __________ is it/are they?"

It seems like something that's been around a while, like a Vaudeville/Catskills sort of thing, but I have no idea. Anyone have any ideas?
