Who Stole the Funny?: A Novel of Hollywood

A wickedly delicious roman–a–clef about the making of a sitcom called My Urban Buddies (aka Friends), this satirical romp answers the question for those who ever wondered what went on behind the scenes in the production of their favorite sit–com. Robby Benson can tell you, and does, in the novel WHO STOLE THE FUNNY, in which programmed–for–success director J.T. Baker has to bring an up–and–coming sitcom to fruition after its initial director shoots himself in the head with a nail gun. Thoughtfully annotated with helpful and enlightening Hollywood glossary terms, ("Creative–type director: One who has no hope of working in this town again"; "Eccentric: Affecting a style of dress, coiffure, speech, mannerisms, etc. carefully calculated to give the impression of creative credibility") WHO STOLE THE FUNNY takes place in an exaggerated world of crazy writers, backstabbing directors, foul–mouthed everyone–elses and hardcore cynics.With fast–paced scenes, hilarious dialogue and the ridiculous inner monologues behind them, WHO STOLE THE FUNNY will make you think twice about what's going on behind every innocuous group of urban roommates you've ever fallen for on TGIF.
