Art Bell on His Book - Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor

Published: Oct. 8, 2020, 3:15 a.m.

In 1988, young, mid-level HBO employee Art Bell was not about to let skepticism from everyone including top executives and his own mother stop him from creating what he believed to be the next big thing in cable television: a channel devoted 100% to comedy.

Today, Comedy Central is not only a successful station, but is a culture-maker.
