The Laugh Crafters: Comedy Writing in Radio and Tv's Golden Age

About this book

Twelve of Hollywoods 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.
