Show Me the Funny (Peter Desberg & Jeffrey Davis)

This book is a collection of interviews with dozens of individuals and teams who write humor for TV and movies. They were all given the same premise, about a young woman whose father dies, leaving her mother unexpectedly without funds, so the mother moves in with the daughter and hilarity ensues. Each interview maps out a different path this premise might take, showing the varieties of creative processes, and goes into the different styles and systems different people use. I found it entertaining, but can't say I got any great insights from it.
