Art Bell on His Book - Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor
Published 5 years, 7 months ago
Description
In 1988, young, mid-level HBO employee Art Bell was not about to let skepticism from everyone including top executives and his own mother stop him from creating what he believed to be the next big thing in cable television: a channel devoted 100% to comedy.
Today, Comedy Central is not only a successful station, but is a culture-maker.
How did he make it happen? In this new book, Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor, Art shares his path to success and provides recommendations for anyone who has a dream they want to turn into a reality -- even if no one else is on board just yet
