Book 70 of my 2018 Reading Challenge
The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy by Paul Myers
Summary (via the book jacket)
Meticulously researched and written with the full cooperation and participation of the troupe, The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy features exclusive interviews with Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson, as well as key players from their inner circle, including producer Lorne Michaels, the "man in the towel" Paul Bellini, and head writer Norm Hiscock. Marvel as the Kids share their intimate memories and behind-the-scene stories of how they created their greatest sketches and most beloved characters, from the Chicken Lady and Buddy Cole to Cabbage Head and Sir Simon and Hecubus.
The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy spans the entirety of the Kids' storied career, from their early club shows in Toronto to their recent live tours across North America. Perfect for diehard fans and new initiates alike, The Kids in the Hall will make you laugh and make you cry...and it may even crush your head.
My Opinion
If you like The Kids in the Hall, you'll love this book. The pictures are great, the interviews are honest, and it's written by someone that's known them for a very long time which adds a lot to the comfort level of the interviews and the in-depth knowledge of everything.
Now I want to pull out my dvds and watch them all again.
