Larry Amoros Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson

For a good time call Cheryl, or watch this. I literally laughed til I cried.  Larry Amoros, head writer for Joan Rivers, Joy Behar, Rosie O'Donnell, and Barry Manilow, tore down my house, and boy, did I need the eggs. Is there anyone funnier? 

Larry’s story about Bea Arthur alone! Holy cow, HYSTERICAL! A genius standup, I’m tempted t say it’s all in the delivery, but it’s not. He’s got gems, about Joan. Johnny Carson, Jane Fonda, Rosie, Joy, Barry, Mel Z Lawrence, the Catskills, his mother, Melissa Rivers, the Espys, Palm Springs… funny, funny, funny! I had the best time. 

We also talked drinking and drugging, bottoming out. getting sober, recovery, being of service. and even that was funny. It was also heartfelt, sincere, humble, just beautiful. I love Larry!

Happy Hanukkah for sure. If laughter is the best medicine, then 'A Small Book of Jewish Comedians' is a panacea!⁠ ⁠ In 1978, Time magazine estimated that around 80 percent of professional American comics were Jewish, and Jewish humor remains a foundation stone of American popular culture and humor. This book is not intended as a definitive tome but is instead a joyful and irreverent celebration of great photography and some of the greatest one-liners of the 20th century, ripe in satire, anecdote, self-deprecation and irony.⁠ ⁠ Featuring photographs of comedians such as Larry David, Fran Lebowitz, Mel Brooks, Sid Caesar, Lenny Bruce, Rita Rudner, Joan Rivers and George Burns, the book’s portraits are accompanied by one-liners such as: “Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” (Groucho Marx); “When I was a boy the Dead Sea was only sick.” (George Burns); “It was a Jewish porno film … one minute of sex and nine minutes of guilt.” (Joan Rivers); “You know who wears sunglasses inside? Blind people and assholes.” (Larry David); “I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel.” (Fran Lebowitz).⁠ ⁠⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ Published by @reelartpress ⁠ Edited by @tonynourmand⁠ Introduction by @bobbyslaytonofficial⁠ ⁠ #jewishcomedian #comedy #jewishcomedy #joanrivers #donrickles #hannukahgift https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUSlQ2uI-R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today Live! Having served as head writer for Joan Rivers, Joy Behar, Rosie O'Donnell, and Barry Manilow, Larry Amoros holds court on Facebook and makes my day. My God, I love to laugh! And Larry tickles that bone daily. 

I met Larry a lifetime ago in New York when he was a hotshot stand-up and I… was not. I have little doubt that he has no memory of me other than perhaps hearing that Gabe Abelson married me. 

An acclaimed ghostwriter and collaborator, Larry has put three books on The New York Times Best Seller List: I Hate Everyone Starting with Me, with the late Joan Rivers; The Book of Joan: Tales of Mirth, Mischief, and Manipulation, with Melissa Rivers; and, Diary of a Mad Diva, which garnered Joan Rivers a posthumous 2015 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word album. His current collaboration with Melissa Rivers, Lies My Mother Told Me has just been released.

Larry recently collaborated with Joy Behar on her acclaimed humor book, The Great Gasbag: An A to Z Guide to Surviving Trumpworld, and with Bianca del Rio on her outrageous hit, Blame It on Bianca del Rio: An Opinion on Everything from an Expert on Nothing.

Larry had a ten-year run writing on ESPN’s ESPY Awards, as well as working on numerous other sports broadcasts, including The NASCAR Awards and The NHL Awards. For a number of years, he was part of the writing staff of The Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, and in 2016, he served as Creative Producer/Head Writer of A Tribute to Joan Rivers, at The Kennedy Center, in Washington, D.C.

Larry has also worked on many TV series and specials, including HLN’s The Joy Behar Show (Senior Writer), The Rosie O’Donnell Show (Senior Writer), The Nanny, the newsmagazine, California Connected and Barry Manilow’s Emmy Award-winning PBS Special, Music & Passion.

Larry has served as Creative Consultant for Barry Manilow’s World Tours since 1992 and has written special material for Barry’s 2014 and 2019 Broadway runs. 

It’s been a particularly tumultuous week, now blissful - what better way to celebrate than with the funny? And, with whom better than Larry? FYI. he’s also gracious and kind. After many, many weeks of music, which has been wonderful fun, this left turn is gonna be a gas. The no $, no odor, good kind.  Can’t wait to finally really meet this funnyboy!

Yeah, I read history. But it doesn't make you nice. Hitler read history, too.
