Art Bell - Constant Comedy: How I started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humour...with TRE's Ger Sweeney

Writer and former media executive https://www.artbellwriter.com/ (Art Bell) talks about shifting from economics to comedy, creating and (barely) getting Comedy Central off the ground, turning around Court TV, pitching 3DTV to Victoria's Secret and the Superbowl, the benefits of “intrapreneurship”, and how if you don't get fired once in a while, you're not doing anything interesting. Mentioned in this episode: This episode is brought to you by Southwestern Legacy Insurance Group. https://the-action-catalyst.captivate.fm/southwesternlegacy (Southwestern Legacy Insurance Group)

In this episode, we sit down with Art Bell, the founder of Comedy Central. He shares is journey and challenges in starting one of the most influential networks of the day. Bio I was born on the Jersey Shore and grew up in a middle class household in the late 1950s and 1960s. My earliest ambitions were to become a famous scientist and to be funny. I worked hard at both through grade school, and the science aspiration got me A's but the funny aspiration got me kicked out of class for “cutting up.” (If I'd been funnier the teachers wouldn't have kicked me out.) In high school I found a more productive outlet by starting an underground newspaper called “The Tongue” and writing biting satire about my teachers, fellow students, and high school life. Of course, that too got me in trouble. I was beginning to understand that funny and trouble seemed, at least in my case, interconnected. College (I went to Swarthmore College) was a more sober undertaking, although I did hit the stage in annual comedy sketch shows and played Motel the Tailor in the college production of Fiddler on the Roof. I was sure that would be my last time on stage, but I was wrong. After graduation I spent a few years in Washington DC as an economist working on energy and environmental projects for the federal government. While I enjoyed it, I found myself reading Coal Weekly one afternoon and saying to myself, “I'm not a Coal Weekly kind of guy.” I quit my job and went to business school. Now I'm not saying I didn't get a good business education at Wharton Grad — I did — but for me the best part was writing and performing in the Wharton Follies, an annual musical revue put on by students. Upon graduating, I got a job at CBS, then HBO, where I started the Comedy Channel that became Comedy Central. After that I was President of Court TV, then worked for a while as a consultant to a bunch of television companies. Most interesting project: commercialising 3D television. Least successful project: commercialising 3D television. Too bad. It was really cool. After I left the TV business, I took some writing courses and found I loved writing. Constant Comedy is my first book, not counting a humour book I wrote with a couple of other guys while at Comedy Central. I hope to write some more books, but hey, who knows? I play piano and drums and I'm married to Carrie Livingston Bell and have two grown children. And that's pretty much the story. Any questions? https://www.artbellwriter.com/bio (https://www.artbellwriter.com/bio)

Meet the legend, Art Bell, author of Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor.

You'll hear stories about comedic icons from Bill Maher to Jon Stewart, Al Franken, Chris Rock, Gilbert Gottfried, Sarah Silverman and Dennis Miller.

Art Bell explains how growing up on the East Coast in the 50's and 60's had an impact on his comedy style.  It's not a stretch to imagine Art as a class clown, and in this episode, he explains how "honing his comedy style" as a class clown and jokester, was a great assist later as he developed 24-hour comedy. Art is a former media executive best known for creating and building HBO's The Comedy Channel, which went on to become Comedy Central. After Comedy Central, he became the president of Court TV and was the guiding force behind one of the most successful brand evolutions in cable television.Constant Comedy is a book Art wrote that mixes humor, with nostalgia and the sort of insider view that make show biz memoirs so fun. Through the ups and downs of the experience, including an unceremonious firing at the end of his Comedy Central tenure, Art offers detailed accounts of conversations while also adding observations gained from two decades of perspective.My advice, listen now, and read Constant Comedy later, but take the time to hear the life story of Art Bell.  Art's Website Linkhttps://www.artbellwriter.com/Art's Amazon Linkhttps://www.amazon.com/Constant-Comedy-Started-Central-Sense/dp/1646040899/ref=sr_1_1?

The creator of Comedy Central, former President of Court TV, and author of Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor, Art Bell joins us this week on the Shadows Podcast! While working at HBO, Art Bell had an idea for a 24/7 all-comedy channel. He pitched the idea to the head of programming and was told, “It's the worst idea I've ever heard.” He didn't let the rejection crush his dream. That idea eventually became known as Comedy Central. Art talks about his upbringing, why humor is essential in every aspect of life, his jobs at CBS, HBO, creating the Comedy Channel, the merger with Ha! to create Comedy Central, his time as President of Court TV, and his book, Constant Comedy.

Get ready for a great story teller in Art Bell and how he started Comedy Central! This is the man that first pitched the idea of an all comedy channel to HBO, and GOT SHOT DOWN!

Art Sits down to share his stories about how it all came to be and explains the different circumstances he had to deal with including not even knowing comedy and being tasked with making a 24/7 comedy channel work!

For episode 105, Chris Ross spoke with Art Bell, who envisioned a 24/7 comedy channel and shared that vision with people who told him that was the dumbest idea ever.

GUEST ➥ https://www.artbellwriter.com How many of you ever thought of something you feel with every ounce of you that would change the game? There's a good chance most of you told someone, or some people don't have imagination, and that idea, unfortunately, fell victim to all the naysayers destroying dreams. Today we speak about his memoir and podcast, Constant Comedy, how he started Comedy Central and lost his sense of humor.

Hard to believe now, but it used to be there was no such thing as Comedy Central. Then in the early 90s, Art Bell (and some other bright folks) came along and changed all that. Art also gave co-host Doug Bost his first job out of college, but to find out why that job was called “Cliptomaniac”, you’ll have to listen to our new episode. Art chats with us about his excellent new memoir, Constant Comedy, with stories about HBO mogul Michael Fuchs, Jon Stewart, and Bill Maher, to name a few. Jazzy score by Adam Bernstein, natch. Enjoy!

Imagine starting something like Comedy Central and losing your sense of humor? Art Bell’s journey started at CBS, then HBO, where he started the Comedy Channel which later became Comedy Central. After that, he became the President of Court TV, then worked for a while as a consultant to several television companies.
