In these bleak modern times, even a book devoted to comedy isn’t without it’s dark side. Mike Sacks’s And Here’s the Kicker, in which the Vanity Fair writer interviews 21 humorists (including Bob Odenkirk, Harold Ramis and David Sedaris) is decidedly serious, dissecting not only comedians’ work and lives as pro joke-tellers, but their fears and anxieties, too. Mr. Sacks spoke with CollegeHumor about these grimmer aspects of comedy, including serial killers, chronic loneliness, and how telling a joke can be a lot like a diagnosing a disease.

This is great!”

Age 22: “Wow, I forgot how long it takes to beat Super Mario 3…”

Age 23: “Watching all the seasons of Lost back-to-back should help give me some ideas on how to develop my characters.”

Age 25: “I’ll just take this T.G.I. Friday’s gig to pay the bills before my writing career really takes off.”

Age 27: “You know, J.D. Salinger didn’t publish Catcher in the Rye until he was 32, so I’ve still got a good five years to finish my masterpiece.”

Age 29: “Really? You think I’m assistant manager material? Yes, I can say ‘In here it’s always Friday’ with a straight face. You won’t regret this, Mr. Johansson!”

Age 32: “I think I’m going to make the protagonist an assistant manager at T.G.I. Friday’s. That’s something a lot of people can relate to, right?”

Age 34: “Marrying Jennifer is going to provide me with so much more material to write about. Plus, she said her dad is going to hook me up with a cushy job at his company. I hope it’s a publishing firm.”

Age 34.5: It’s not.

Age 37: “Jimmy, I swear, if you don’t finish your peas, you’re not getting an advanced signed copy of daddy’s book.”

Age 41: “I think I’m going to make the protagonist a data entry clerk at a law firm and the antagonist an overbearing hypercritical father-in-law who has no faith in the clerk’s writing ability. That’s something a lot of people can relate to, right?”

Age 45: “I’ve got it! The Shrinking Stars. It’s perfect. Phew, well, I think I’ve earned myself a break. Honey, do we still have Super Mario 3?”

Age 49: “Please, dear, we just had sex last month, now I’m trying to write…oh, fine…”

Age 55: “I’ve always thought of novels as more of a retirement thing anyway.”

Age 58: “Listen to me, Jim, you are not changing your major to English. I don’t care how much your professors like your writing, this is not a good path to go down. Let’s just stick to accounting like we planned, ok?”

Age 61: “Alright, Jenn, I think it’s time we kicked Jim out of the house. It’s obvious this novel of his isn’t going anywhere.”

Age 65: “What’s that Jim? You say it’s going to be published? Wow, that’s just…that’s just great, son, it really is. I guess writing must run in the family, huh? Haha. Well, no, I never actually published anything, but I’ve still got a few projects I’m working on. So who’d you dedicate the book to again?”

Age 70: “Yup, I had a nice writing career laid out for me for a while, but I’ll tell ya, once I had Jim I really just got so involved with being a dad everything else sort of fell by the wayside, you know? Well, no, he hasn’t dedicated one of them to me yet, but I’m sure he will soon. I have always supported him, after all.”
