With a career spanning more than forty years, Jeff has helped launch

interactive programming never seen on the air before, or since.
In this audio book, Jeff takes you behind the scenes of how a funny business
operates, and explains how the hilarious and insightful ventures and
adventures of his unconventional
career path have sprung forth a well
of invaluable skills along the way."
