Make jokes (4)

I believe the answer is:

jest

(Other definitions for jest that I've seen before include "attempt at humour" , "Witty remark" , "Joke, fool about" , "Humorous remark" , "Act in a joking manner" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, the USA Today and the Universal.
