I, Red Skelton - Exit Laughing... Or, a Man, His Movies, and Sometimes His Monkeys

"I find myself always being drawn into Wes' comedic research
and storytelling by its insights into the history, politics and
sociology of the period explored. In that context, his gift is not
only that of a researcher but also a "decoder" of what leads a
reader to exclaim. 'Oh, so that's how he (the subject) got that
way.'"
- Steve Bell, former anchor for
ABC News and Good Morning, America
