Episode #10 - Interview With Gene Perret Monday, September 24th 2007 @ 5:26 AM (not yet rated)
Comedy Tips From A Living Legend! What skills must you have (or learn) in order to be funny? What should you do if you've got something hilarious to say, but it just might cross the line? What can we learn from the so-called "old school" comedians? (Hint: a LOT!)
The legendary Emmy Award winning Gene Perret joins us on today's episode, to explore these questions and more. Gene shares wisdom with us from his incredible career as a writer for Bob Hope, and on the writing staff of Laugh-In, The Carol Burnett Show, and Three's Company. We discuss Gene's book The New Comedy Writing, Step by Step, which he originally wrote 25 years ago, and recently revised and updated for 2007.
