It's finally here - the definitive, authorized story of legendary sketch comedy troupe The Kids in the Hall. Meticulously researched and written with the full cooperation and participation of the Kids by critically acclaimed biographer and comedy aficionado Paul Myers, The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy features exclusive interviews with Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson, as well as key players from their inner circle, including producer Lorne Michaels, the "man in the towel" Paul Bellini, and head writer Norm Hiscock. Marvel as the Kids share their intimate memories and behind-the-scenes stories of how they created their greatest sketches and most beloved characters, from the Chicken Lady and Buddy Cole to Cabbage Head and Sir Simon & Hecubus. The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy spans the entirety of the Kids' storied career, from their early club shows in Toronto to their recent live reunion tours across North America - and everything in between. Along for the ride are a plethora of fans, peers, and luminaries to celebrate the career and legacy of Canada's most subversively hilarious comedy troupe. You'll read tributes from Seth Meyers, Judd Apatow, Garry Shandling, Paul Feig, Mike Myers, David Cross, Michael Ian Black, Brent Butt, Jonah Ray, Dana Gould, Bob Odenkirk, Andy Richter, and Canada's newest comedy sensation, Baroness Von Sketch. As an added bonus, the book includes never-before-seen photographs, poster art, and script excerpts from the personal archives of the Kids themselves. Perfect for diehard fans and new initiates alike, The Kids in the Hall: One Dumb Guy will make you laugh and make you cry . . . and it may even crush your head.… (más)

I was pretty disappointed in this book. Paul Myers is Mike Myers' brother, and is a lifelong friend of the Kids. He had access to all five kids, to Tavie Phillips (their longtime fansite admin turned official social media guru), modern comedians who were inspired by them... but it really seems like he doesn't understand what people are interested in. There's a lot of logistical details about business deals and contracts, and 55% of the book covers the post-9/11 careers of the group members. The early sections of the book are light on anecdotes or insight, and the later sections almost read like obituaries. He also glosses over almost anything from the Kids' personal lives past childhood, including alcoholism, divorces, children, etc. Maybe they didn't want to include anything too personal, I don't know, but I feel like I didn't really learn much about them as people or a troupe reading this book.

Great book about the KitH. A little McDonald-heavy but he was probably my favorite Kid anyway. ( )
