T. Baker has to bring an up-and-coming sitcom to fruition after its initial director shoots himself in the head with a nail gun. Comically annotated with helpful and enlightening Hollywood glossary terms (\"Creative-type director: One who has no hope of working in this town again\"; \"Eccentric: Affecting a style of dress, coiffure, speech, mannerisms, etc., carefully calculated to give the impression of creative credibility\"), Benson creates an exaggerated world of crazy writers; backstabbing executives, agents, and producers; foul-mouthed everyone-elses; and hardcore cynics-and the ridiculous inner monologues behind them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51598913339680,"sku":"NEW0061245003","price":17.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71rvNQ7EvxL.jpg?v=1778456387","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/who-stole-the-funny-a-novel-of-hollywood-0061245003","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
