Listen "Need to Write a Funny Speech Soon? We've Got You Covered"
Episode Synopsis
Everyone needs to give a speech at some point in their life, and every speech can benefit from some humor. But trying to write a funny speech is a dangerous game. Veteran comedy writers Carol Leifer ("Seinfeld," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Hacks") and Rick Mitchell ("The Ellen DeGeneres Show") have written a new book, How to Write a Funny Speech: for a Wedding, Bar Mitzvah, Graduation & Every Other Event You Didn't Want to Go to in the First Place. They discuss the ins and outs of comedy in speeches, and how to strike the right balance.
