Autor William Knoedelsederen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2010
In
the
mid-1970s,
Jay
Leno,
David
Letterman,
Andy
Kaufman,
Richard
Lewis,
Robin
Williams,
Elayne
Boosler,
Tom
Dreesen,
and
several
hundred
other
shameless
showoffs
and
incorrigible
cutups
from
all
across
the
country
migrated
en
masse
to
Los
Angeles,
the
new
home
of
Johnny
Carson'sTonight
Show.
There,
in
a
late-night
world
of
sex,
drugs,
dreams
and
laughter,
they
created
an
artistic
community
unlike
any
before
or
since.
It
was
Comedy
Camelot—but
it
couldn't
last.
William
Knoedelseder,
then
a
cub
reporter
covering
the
scene
for
theLos
Angeles
Times,
was
there
when
the
comedians—who
were
not
paid
for
performing—tried
to
change
the
system
and
incidentally
tore
apart
their
own
close-knit
community.
InI'm
Dying
Up
Herehe
tells
the
whole
story
of
that
golden
age,
of
the
strike
that
ended
it,
and
of
how
those
days
still
resonate
in
the
lives
of
those
who
were
there.
