Fresh Air with Terry Gross: Just For Laughs by Terry Gross  145 pages

The wonderful interviewer, Terry Gross whose program, "Fresh Air," on NPR interviews 18 comedians asking all the right questions in her probing yet disarming way.   You can't not like Terry Gross she is the James Lipton of Public Radio.   I enjoy her program so much and catch it every time I can.   This collection of her interviews with 18 different comedians is delightful.   Steve Martin, Don Rickles, Joan Rivers, Mort Sahl, Tracy Morgan, Aziz Ansari, Woody Allen, Sarah Silverman, Sacha Cohen, Trey Parker, Matt Stone, George Carlin, Mike Judge, Billy West and more, a cavalcade of comedy getting to who these folks are, how they got to this point in their careers, including snippets of some of their routines.   I enjoyed this so much.   I recommend this to all fans of stand-up comedy and of Terry Gross, herself.
