How does canned laughter get canned?

Asked by rebbel (35549points) August 31st, 2010

Do producers of television shows ask people to come in and ask them, on command, to produce different kind of laughter (for different kind of situations/jokes)?
Or do they use old laughter from other television shows and put these on tape?
Is there a person whose job it is to pick the right laughs for the right situations/jokes and put them at the exact position on the tape?
Has your laughter ever been used for a show?
