Bryan Cranston and James Franco star in this comedy directed and
co-written by John Hamburg. Overprotective father Ned (Cranston)
has always had a special relationship with his daughter Stephanie
(Zoey Deutch) so when she invites him, along with her mother Barb
(Megan Mullally) and brother Scotty (Griffin Gluck), to spend
Christmas with her and her millionaire boyfriend Laird (Franco), he
reluctantly agrees, for the sake of his daughter's happiness.
However, when Laird reveals his plan to propose to Stephanie and
asks for Ned's blessing, the caring father vows to do everything in
his power to prevent his little girl from agreeing to spend her
life with the moronic mogul. With Laird determined to convince his
future father-in-law to accept him however, he devises a plan to
get Barb and Scotty on his side.
Authors Keegan-Michael Key and Elle Key build on the popularity of
their 2022 Webby Award–winning podcast and delve deeper into the
world of sketch, helped along with new essays created expressly for
the book by comedy greats. The History of Sketch Comedy will appeal
to all kinds of comedy fans as well as fans of Keegan-Michael Key,
whether they know him from his Emmy- and Peabody-winning work on
Key & Peele; his roles in Fargo, The Prom, Schmigadoon!, The
Bubble, and the upcoming Wonka; voiceover work in The Lion King; or
as President Barack Obama's anger translator, Luther. With epic
personal tangents and hilarious asides, their story takes you on an
illuminating look at all facets of comedy from the stock characters
of commedia del arte in the 16th century, to the rise of vaudeville
and burlesque, the golden age of television comedy, the influence
of the most well-known comedy schools, and the ascension of comedy
films and TV specials - all the way through to a look at the future
of sketch on social media platforms. Along the way, we hear tales
of Key's childhood, his comedy influences, and the vicissitudes of
his career path. As the New York Times said in its review of their
podcast, "this comedy nerd history is filtered through memoir, with
Key relating stories of his budding fandom, training and rise from
improv comic to television sketch artist." Part masterclass, part
memoir, and hilariously embellished with priceless commentary, The
History of Sketch Comedy illuminates the essential building blocks
of sketch comedy while interweaving Key's experiences of personal
discovery and the influence of his comedy heroes. The text is
complemented by original art by Elle Key and exclusive essays
compiled from conversations with some of their famous comedy
friends and performers who have influenced the development of
comedy, such as Jordan Peele, Mel Brooks, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mike
Myers, Chris Rock, John Oliver, Tracy Morgan, Carol Burnett, Jim
Carrey, and many more.
