Thank you for tuning in! I am so happy to share this episode with the wonderful listeners of the show! On this episode, I welcome author, professor, and media expert Saul Austerlitz! Saul is the author of several excellent titles including: Another Fine Mess: A History of American Film Comedy, Sitcom: A History in 24 Episodes from I Love Lucy to Community, and Generation Friends: An Inside Look at the Show That Defined a Television Era. His work has also appeared in well-known publications such as the Boston Globe, the New York Times, New York Magazine, and Rollingstone to name just a few.
Coming out on August 22nd, 2023 is Saul's latest book: Kind of a Big Deal - How Anchorman stayed classy and became the most iconic comedy of the twenty-first century. I was fortunate enough to be given a copy of the book so that I could read it prior to our interview and I absolutely loved it! Saul's writing is so easy to digest and absorb. I learned so much about the creation of the film, what went on behind-the-scenes, and so much more! It's a must read for any comedy lover! You can learn more about his latest book and Saul's career on his website: https://www.saulausterlitz.com/
A huge thanks to Saul Austerlitz and Hannah Poole for making this happen!
