Enjoy a unique glimpse into the intelligent and quirky inner workings of the comedic mind! This special e-version of Show Me the Funny! presents 28 top comedy screenwriters--including three bonus interviews not in the original print book--from the revered figures of television's “Golden Age” to today's favorite movie jokesters. Authors Desberg and Davis put an innovative spin on the traditional interview: each writer was given the same loosely structured comedic premise and asked to develop it in any way he or she wanted-no rules, no boundaries, no limits! The result is a hilarious and illuminating look at the comic process.
INCLUDES:
o Leonard Stern (co-creator of Get Smart) o Sherwood Schwartz (Gilligan's Island, The Brady Bunch) o Peter Casey (co-creator of The Jeffersons, Cheers, Wings, Frasier) o Phil Rosenthal (co-creator of Everybody Loves Raymond) o Ed Decter (co-writer of There's Something About Mary) o plus three e-book only interviews: Marley Simms (Home Improvement, Sabrina the Teenage Witch)
Dan O’Shannon (Modern Family, Frasier, Cheers), and Charlie Hauck (Maude, Cheers)
