Praise
"Grab a copy of this book....Mike Sacks manages the seemingly impossible: Squeezing funny, revealing anecdotes out of notoriously difficult-to-interview giants of the industry....It's like a DVD commentary track -- but with answers to questions you actually want to hear." - Mandy Stadtmiller 07/12/2009

"After devouring AND HERE'S THE KICKER..., a compulsively readable dissection of the comic mind by Vanity Fair staffer Mike Sacks, I want to give its author the highest praise any writer can give another: His book made me insanely...jealous....Sacks has written a book I wanted to write myself. Even more unforgivably, he's done a better job than I probably would have." - Nathan Rabin 08/11/2009

"Sacks...scored some great interviews, finding writers who could comment on...virtually every comedic touchstone we reference today....The real fun in this book comes less when the writers talk about their craft and more when they talk about their careers, experiences, disappointments and favorite jokes....Even if you weren't looking for a comedy desk reference, it's worth picking up the book just to find out which "Deep Thought" Jack Handey is most proud of writing." - Jeff Nussbaum 11/01/2009
