Montreal’s Just For Laughs answered doubts about its future Wednesday with the company’s sale to an investor group led by Canadian-born comedian Howie Mandel. The new owners, which include U.S. talent agency ICM Partners, said the company will continue normal operations, with the same leadership in place. Prof. David Soberman commented on the sale in a segment on CBC Radio One's Business Digest on March 22.
