Discover the riveting, hilarious true story of the birth of Comedy Central in what New York Times bestselling author, Dan Lyons, calls the "funniest behind-the-scenes memoir I've ever read, full of crazy characters, plot twists, and suspense." In 1988, a young, mid-level employee named Art Bell pitched a novel concept, a television channel focused 100% on just one thing, comedy, to the chairman of HBO. The station that would soon become Comedy Central, with celebrated programs like South Park, Chapelle's Show, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report, was born. Constant Comedy takes readers behind the scenes into the comedy startup on its way to becoming one of the most successful and creative purveyors of popular culture in the United States. From disastrous pitch meetings with comedians to the discovery of talents like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, this intimate biography peers behind the curtain and reveals what it's really like to work, struggle, and ultimately succeed at the cutting edge of show business

Killer tornadoes, violent tropical storms, and extreme temperatures signal a looming environmental disaster. Two leading investigators of unexplained phenomena reveal alarming findings based on extensive research with top scientists and archaeologists. They expose how rapid atmospheric changes from greenhouse gases are steering humanity toward catastrophic climate shifts. An unprecedented storm will first devastate the Northern Hemisphere, followed by unprecedented floods or possibly a new Ice Age. Historical evidence shows similar events have occurred sporadically throughout geologic history, recorded only in ancient myths and flood legends. From El Niño to African droughts and the shrinking polar ice caps, the authors identify critical warning signs for those willing to listen. They liken Earth's regulatory system to a rubber band that can only be stretched so far before snapping back violently. Since 1995, each year has set records for extreme weather, and a major study in 1999 predicted unprecedented warmth for the planet. The authors argue that a rapid and violent cooling is imminent, threatening to envelop the Northern Hemisphere in ice and snow. However, it’s not too late to change our trajectory. This work serves as a call to action, offering viable solutions to this monumental challenge. Through a thorough examination of ancient myths and modern environmental science, the authors guide us on an intellectual journe
