"Hilarity ___" ("Then funny stuff happened") (6)

I believe the answer is:

ensued

(Other definitions for ensued that I've seen before include "Followed as a consequence" , "Came about as consequence" , "Befell" , "Resulted, followed" , "Happened afterwards or as a result" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
