Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama Summary

“Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama: A Memoir” is a popular book that is now available for download in PDF and ePub format. Bob Odenkirk is the author of this impressive book.Here is the summary of this book; “Bob Odenkirk’s career is inexplicable. And yet he will try like hell to explicate it for you. Charting a “Homeric” decades-long “odyssey” from his origins in the seedy comedy clubs of Chicago to a dramatic career full of award nominations—with a side-trip into the action-man world that is baffling to all who know him—it’s almost like there are many Bob Odenkirks! But there is just one and one is plenty. Bob embraced a life in comedy after a chance meeting with Second City’s legendary Del Close. He somehow made his way to a job as a writer at Saturday Night Live. While surviving that legendary gauntlet by the skin of his gnashing teeth, he stashed away the secrets of comedy writing—eventually employing them in the immortal “Motivational Speaker” sketch for Chris Farley, honing them on The Ben Stiller Show, and perfecting them on Mr. Show with Bob and David. In Hollywood, Bob demonstrated a bullheadedness that would shame Sisyphus himself, and when all hope was lost for the umpteenth time, the phone rang with an offer to appear on Breaking Bad—a show about how boring it is to be a high school chemistry teacher. His embrace of this strange new world of dramatic acting led him to working with Steven Spielberg, Alexander Payne, and Greta Gerwig, and then, in a twist that will confound you, he re-re-invented himself as a bona fide action star. Why? Read this and do your own psychoanalysis—it’s fun! Featuring humorous tangents, never-before-seen photos, wild characters, and Bob’s trademark unflinching drive, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama is a classic showbiz tale told by a determined idiot.”

Brief Summary Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama by Bob Odenkirk

The first few chapters detail his lifelong interest in comedy. After reading for a short time, I began to think I wouldn’t like Odenkirk if I were to meet him. When he described his first meeting with Lorne Michaels of SNL, he had me shaking my head in disbelief. According to his own description, he was cocky, cavalier, and rude. Probably Lorne Michaels felt the same way. I kept reading, and I’m glad I did. His rapid-fire writing style (you can hear him saying the words) and jokey manner aside, he lays out what the comedy world is really like and the lessons he learned. He transformed from a callow comedian early in his youth into a dramatic actor who now wants to give others a hand up in show business. He describes his partnerships and associations with David Cross, Ben Stiller, and Gary Shandling. He covers how he got involved in one of his first major successes, Mr. Show and how he navigated the disappointments, such as losing the leading role that went to Steve Carell in The Office. He shows determination, focus, and his trademark sense of humor along the way. He admits he was never a fame chaser per se but is always on the hunt to entertain himself.
