Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor

Learn the riveting, hilarious true story of the birth of Comedy Central - one of the most successful brand evolutions in cable television history. In 1988, a young, mid-level employee named Art Bell pitched a novel concept - a television channel focused 100% on just one thing: comedy - to the chairman of HBO. The station that would soon become Comedy Central, with celebrated programs like South Park, Chapelle''s Show, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report, was born. Constant Comedy takes readers behind the scenes into the comedy start-up on its way to becoming one of the most successful and creative purveyors of popular culture in the United States.
