2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
"Individually, we're all smart guys, but collectively we're really just one dumb guy." It's finally here -- the definitive, authorized story of legendary sketch comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall. Meticulously researched and written with the full cooperation and participation of the Kids by critically acclaimed biographer and comedy aficionado Paul Myers, The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy features exclusive interviews with Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson, as well as key players from their inner circle, including producer Lorne Michaels, the "man in the towel" Paul Bellini, and head writer Norm Hiscock. Marvel as the Kids share their intimate memories and behind-the-scenes stories of how they created their greatest sketches and most beloved characters, from the Chicken Lady and Buddy Cole to Cabbage Head and Sir Simon & Hecubus. The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy spans the entirety of the Kids' storied career, from their early club shows in Toronto to their recent live reunion tours across North America -- and everything in between. Along for the ride are a plethora of fans, peers, and luminaries to celebrate the career and legacy of Canada's most subversively hilarious comedy troupe. You'll read tributes from Seth Meyers, Judd Apatow, Garry Shandling, Paul Feig, Mike Myers, David Cross, Michael Ian Black, Brent Butt, Jonah Ray, Dana Gould, Bob Odenkirk, Andy Richter, and Canada's newest sensation, Baroness Von Sketch. As an added bonus, the book will include never-before-seen photographs, poster art, and script excerpts from the personal archives of the Kids themselves. Perfect for diehard fans and new initiates alike, The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy will make you laugh and make you cry . . . and it may even crush your head.

1) I couldn't narrow it down less than three. Hannibal, Twin Peaks, Kids in the Hall.
2) Read, eat, drink. Repeat. Periodically step outside & interact with family.
3) Historical mystery.
4) Sleeping. During the weekdays I typically wake up at 7.
5) A bit more red wine.

merelybookish Also have you read The Name of the Rose yet? Super engrossing historical mystery! 5y
vivastory @merelybookish That's at the top of my 2019 TBR. I'm planning on reading Moby Dick & Name of the Rose in January. 5y
merelybookish @vivastory Fun! Well maybe not Moby Dick 😜 but I read Name of the Rose this past spring and really enjoyed it. And actually I think I liked MD okay, once I got into the rhythm of the language. 5y
britt_brooke I can‘t wait to see what you think about Moby Dick. It‘s on my maybe-eventually-someday TBR. 5y

Just got back from seeing The Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy as part of Litquake in sf. The author of this book, Paul Myers, and Dave Foley were there and talked a little about the early days of KITH. I‘m a huge fan and can‘t wait to read this ❤️

Velvetsun I‘ve had this book pre ordered for months! 😆 5y
Kimbono @Velvetsun I‘m really looking forward to reading it. 😍 5y
