Comedy Central is going to publish books now
Comedy Central is getting into the business of books, which are those things that sometimes hit people in the balls on Tosh.0. After years of standing idly by while The Daily Show and The Colbert Report generated massive profits with their own tomes and refused to share them, the network plans to launch its Running Press publishing imprint—which will encompass “everything from memoirs to joke and novelty books,” thus covering all the viable bases of modern literature that don’t involve monsters—with an as-yet-untitled holiday novelty book from Denis Leary, based on his 2005 special Merry F#%$in' Christmas, in which Leary scathingly mocked the entire Christian faith and led the nation down its current sinkhole of godless secularism.
