Detailed information

ÊFunny: The BookÊ is an entertaining look at the art of comedy from its historical roots to the latest scientific findings with diversions into the worlds of movies (Buster Keaton and the Marx Brothers) television (ÊThe OfficeÊ) prose (Woody Allen Robert Benchley) theater (ÊThe Front PageÊ) jokes and stand-up comedy (Richard Pryor Steve Martin) as well as personal reminiscences from the author's experiences on such TV programs as ÊMork and MindyÊ.ÞWith allusions to the not-always-funny Carl Jung George Orwell and Arthur Koestler ÊFunny: The BookÊ explores the evolution theories principles and practice of comedy as well as the psychological philosophical and even theological underpinnings of humor coming to the conclusion that (Spoiler Alert!) Comedy is God.
