520 1 $a"Nothing is needed more in troubled times than a friend to laugh with - or two friends to laugh at. As Lawrence J. Epstein shows us in Mixed Nuts, the great American comedy teams were there for all of us during the rough years of the twentieth century and, as we head into a turbulent new era, they've made a surprising resurgence. Here, for the first time, Epstein presents the complete story of America's comedy teams, revisiting some of their best-loved routines, revealing the personal stories that lay behind them, and showing how the comedians shaped and were shaped by their eras.
520 8 $aFrom the rollicking twenties, to the threadbare thirties, on into the war years, and all the way through the social turmoil of the latter half of the century, Americans counted on the great comedy teams to respond to events, to make them laugh, and to show that though times might get tough, friendships and humor could always help you through."--Jacket.
