Description
Interviews with David Sedaris, Dave Barry, Jack Handey, Bob Odenkirk, and other humor-writing pros: "Sure to captivate anyone who loves a good comedy." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

If you aspire to write sitcoms, standup, screenplays, or satirical essays--or are just a connoisseur of comedy--you should learn from the professionals. With interviews from twenty-one top humor writers whose credits include everything from Marx Brothers movies to Borat and The Office, readers will score not only professional advice but personal details about their processes, influences, and experiences in the industry--and, of course, more than a few amusing stories. Discover what Paul Feig thinks would have happened to Freaks and Geeks if the show had had another season; what the writers' room at SNL is really like; how the Onion editorial staff dealt with the aftermath of 9/11; and much, much more.

These humor writers are among the best in the business, ranging from veterans to newcomers, and have collectively been involved with many of the pop culture touchstones of the last half-century.

Interviewees include: Stephen Merchant (The Office) - Harold Ramis (Animal House, Groundhog Day) - Dan Mazer (Da Ali G Show, Borat) - Paul Feig (Freaks and Geeks) - Bob Odenkirk (The Ben Stiller Show) - Todd Hanson (The Onion) - Mitch Hurwitz (Arrested Development) - David Sedaris (Me Talk Pretty One Day) - Al Jaffee (Mad) - Allison Silverman (The Colbert Report) - Robert Smigel (Late Night with Conan O'Brien) - Dave Barry (Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up) - Larry Wilmore (In Living Color, The Bernie Mac Show) - Jack Handey (Saturday Night Live) - Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H, Tootsie) - Buck Henry - Merrill Markoe - Irving Brecher - Marshall Brickman - George Meyer - Dick Cavett

"Remarkably frank interviews . . . reads like a secret history of popular culture." --Time

"Loaded with information for people interested in comedy, not just those who want to work in the business." --PopMatters
