Descriere Who Stole the Funny?: A Novel of Hollywood - Robby Benson

A Hollywood insider draws from his four decades of experience to create a scathingly brilliant and satirical birds-eye view of life behind the scenes in comedy television. \n \nA Hollywood insider draws from his four decades of experience to create a scathingly brilliant and caustically comedic bird's-eye view behind the scenes of comedy television.\n \nA wickedly delicious roman-a-clef about the making of a sitcom called My Urban Buddies, this satirical romp of a novel portrays life on the other side of the television lens, hilariously sending up self-serious Hollywood stereotypes across the board.\n \nProgrammed-for-success director J. T. Baker has to bring an up-and-coming sitcom to fruition after its initial director shoots himself in the head with a nail gun. Comically annotated with helpful and enlightening Hollywood glossary terms (Creative-type director: One who has no hope of working in this town again; Eccentric: Affecting a style of dress, coiffure, speech, mannerisms, etc., carefully calculated to give the impression of creative credibility), Benson creates an exaggerated world of crazy writers; backstabbing executives, agents, and producers; foul-mouthed everyone-elses; and hardcore cynics--and the ridiculous inner monologues behind them.\n
