59: Art Bell, Comedy Central Founder on The Belief That Changed Comedy
If you're ever found yourself laughing or crying laughing when watching shows like Dave Chappell's Show, Key & Peele, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Futurama, South Park, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, then say thank Art Bell, the founder of Comedy Central.
While working at HBO, Art pitched the idea of a 24-hour comedy network and helped develop and launch HBO’s The Comedy Channel, which became Comedy Central, now in its 30th year on cable television.
In today's conversation, you'll hear him discuss:
- What drew him to Comedy in the first place?
- His journey from economics to the world of entertainment
- When his belief kicked in
- What corporate jobs teach you
- The straw that broke the camel's back at CBS and led him to HBO
- The breakdown with Bridget and the Breakthrough with Michael Fuchs
Art is also the writer of a memoir titled Constant Comedy - How I started and lost my sense of humor which was recently honored as a finalist in the 2020 Best Book Awards for a memoir.
