If youve ever had any interest in comedians, like what went wrong in our lives to make us so

Such a great read for smart people-and morons will like it, too.

During long, grueling nights working way too late in the writers room, when everyone had grown snarly and surly and silent, Mike would continue to pepper us with hilarious jokes. He was that cruel. And now hes written a book thats not only funny, but also sweet and sensitive. What is it with this guy?

Why would I want to read Mikes book that highlights the struggles of coming up the ranks in the New York comedy club scene? I was there with him I could write that book myself Then I read it and realized...I cant write like this Son of a bitch.
