A really good read. Make 'em Laugh provides excellent commentary on many of the people who made America and the world laugh.
This is the perfect book for anyone interested in the art of comedy, be they a humorous motivational keynote speaker, motivational humorist or not.
Broken into six sections:
The Knockabouts
Sock it to me / Parody
Never Give a Sucker an Even Break
Nerds, Jerks, Oddballs and Suckers
Honey I'm Home
The Groundbreakers
The authors provide crisp interesting biographies of almost all of the greats.
About the only obvious name missing for me was Bob Newhart. If comedy is tragedy separated by time, many of those portrayed were bound to have been comics given the unhappy or lonely childhood many experienced.
Interesting photography and some great quotes add to the overall good feel about this book. A great gift for someone who is into fun and good humor.
