The Laugh Crafters: Comedy Writing in Radio and Tv's Golden Age (Vintage Comedy Series)
Editorial Reviews
Leonard Maltin, Entertainment Tonight, 10/98
"There's a lot of show-business history here that might otherwise be lost. What a boon for show-biz buffs and comedy students alike."
Book Description
Twelve of Hollywood's top comedy writers and speak their minds about the so-called good old days, and recall the outrageous backstage antics of legendary comedians. No one is spared in frank, uncensored and frequently hilarious conversations about the stone age of broadcasting -- the 1930s, '40s and '50s -- when advertising agencies controlled the programs, stars ran amok and writers were treated with profound disrespect, like a necessary evil.
