Poking a Dead Frog: Conversations with Today's Top Comedy Writers

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR

Packed with behind-the-scenes storiesâ€”from a day in the writersâ€™ room at The Onion to why a sketch does or doesnâ€™t make it onto Saturday Night Live to how the BBC nearly erased the entire first season of Monty Pythonâ€™s Flying Circusâ€”Poking a Dead Frog is a must-read for comedy buffs, writers and pop culture junkies alike.
