Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" by David Bianculli

4.0

Really enjoyed this book. It occasionally overstates the power of political comedy but nonetheless the Smothers Brothers’ story is an interesting one that CBS is probably pretty embarrassed by today. Most fascinating part for me was learning about the Brothers’ evolution as performers from somewhat milquetoast folk comedy musicians to truly radical folk comedy musicians. Also the segments about Pete Seeger are well worth exploring. A few years back George Clooney planned to make a movie about the Smothers Brothers. I wish it really happened.
