Description

Our guest is the most famous comedian you have never seen and didnt even believe existed. His name is Jack Handey (yes thats his real name), and the name is undoubtedly familiar to fans of Saturday Night Live. Jack Handey, a long time resident of Santa Fe, is the person responsible for SNLs consistently hilarious series, Deep Thoughts, along with many other sketches. On SNL Deep Thoughts was an interstitial segment between sketches that was introduced by Phil Hartman and read live by Handey (neither actually appeared on screen). Handeys one-liners proved to be extremely popular. Hartman would intone And now, Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey... and peaceful easy listening music would play while the screen showed soothing pastoral scenes, much like a New Age relaxation video. Handey would then read the Deep Thought as the text scrolled across the screen. Now Handey has written his first novel, The Stench of Honolulu: A Tropical Adventure. The plot is not complicated, a search for treasure
