OK, so we didn’t actually lose any interviews. But due to various space and production issues, many interviews had to get cut from the book. (In an embarrassment of riches, our first manuscript would have yielded a 1000-page book.)

The authors are grateful for the time and effort given by these amazing talents, and want to share the interviews. But we’re not above a good serial marketing tactic, so we’ll be releasing these periodically via Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and RSS.

In the coming weeks and months, watch for interviews by Paul Provenza with John Oliver, Troy Conrad, Maria Bamford, Paul F. Tompkins, The Staff of The Onion, Mo Rocca, Andy Zaltzman, Glenn Wool, Tim Minchin, Drew Carey, Kevin Nealon, Tom Drieson, Tim Reid, Sherrod Small, Taylor Negron, Jim Jefferies, Ian Shoales, Damon Wayans, and more.
