LAUGH LINES: My Life Helping Funny People Be Funnier
Alan’s latest book is a tender, funny memoir of four decades in the business — beginning with selling jokes for seven dollars apiece to the last of the Borscht Belt standups— to becoming one of the first writers at Saturday Night Live, where he penned classic material for Gilda Radner, John Belushi, and all of the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players. From SNL, he went on to have a hand in a series of landmark shows. From It’s Garry Shandling’s Show to Curb Your Enthusiasm, Laugh Lines is a warmhearted cultural memoir of American comedy.
