After a decade and a half producing the Just For Laughs comedy festival-which ranks as the world's biggest comedy event with an annual attendance of 1.5 million and worldwide television presence-Andy Nulman has seen, heard, and lived through it all. Now he tells all in I Almost Killed George Burns!. Nulman names the names, dishes the dirt, and spews outrageously hilarious behind-the-scenes anecdotes including the time he came within two inches of killing George Burns; John Candy almost killed him-twice; he was strangled by Jerry Lewis and publicly humiliated by Roseanne; a nude man with fireworks in his butt shot Tim Allen to fame; he was reprimanded by Bea Arthur for booking an offensive act; and a demonic disc jockey cost him a multi-million dollar TV contract. Featured are some of today's most recognized showbiz stars, including: Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Drew Carey, Kelsey Grammer, Ray Romano, Kevin James, Mary Tyler Moore, Lily Tomlin, Jerry Springer, Howie Mandel, Chris Rock, Chuck Jones, Bob Newhart, Jay Leno, and David Hyde Pierce.
