There is equipment available that purports to remove vocal tracks  
from music, for "Karaoke applications. I have no idea how well it works.

Theoretically an application of the same technology might at least  
reduce the level of the offending laugh track, it would be harder  
because the content is similar to dialog which you would want to keep.

Probably beyond anything we can economically do right now, but as you  
say today's impossibility might be tomorrow's Blue Light Special at K- 
Mart.
