With his tender, funny memoir of four decades in the
business, Alan Zweibel traces the history of American comedy
 Alan Zweibel started his comedy career selling jokes for
seven dollars apiece to the last of the Borscht Belt standups. Then
one night, despite bombing on stage, he caught the attention of
Lorne Michaels and became one of the first writers at Saturday
Night Live, where he penned classic material for Gilda Radner, John
Belushi, and all of the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players.
From SNL, he went on to have a hand in a series of landmark
shows—from It’s Garry Shandling’s Show to Curb Your
Enthusiasm. Â In Laugh Lines, Zweibel takes readers through
his 40-year career in the comedy-writing business and charts the
story of American comedy over the decades. From when the Catskills
were a breeding ground for talented comedians, through the era of
vanguard New York City comedy clubs that spawned a new wave of
original voices, Zweibel covers comedy variety television, prestige
cable, the Broadway stage, and the streaming world today. He weaves
together his own stories and interviews with his friends and
collaborators, including Billy Crystal, Larry David, Martin Short,
Dave Barry, Carl Reiner, Sarah Silverman, John Mulaney, and Steve
Martin. Laugh Lines is a warmhearted cultural memoir of American
comedy.
