The Union of The State

â‚¬Å“The Union of The Stateâ‚¬Â is the untold, uncensored story of the most influential and prolific comedy troupe of the last twenty-five years â‚¬" and a unique tale in the history of show business. "The members of The State are my heroes, my peers and my friends. Individually and collectively they are responsible for an impressively large percentage of everything funny that currently exists in the world. Somehow Corey Stulce was able to convince all 437 original members of The State to tell their own stories, in their own words. For comedy nerds like me, it's essential reading." - "Weird Al" Yankovic The book is an oral history of the acclaimed troupeâ‚¬s creation, dissolution, reinvention and reunion, told by all members of the group: Kevin Allison Michael Ian Black Robert Ben Garant Todd Holoubek Michael Patrick Jann Kerri Kenney-Silver Thomas Lennon Joe Lo Truglio Ken Marino Michael Showalter David Wain The book follows the members of The State from their time as classmates at New York University in the late 1980s to their quick ascent to fame via their three-season, sketch-comedy TV series on MTV and through their post-MTV projects. It also includes histories of the movie-turned-Netflix-series, â‚¬Å“Wet Hot American Summer;â‚¬Â the Comedy Central hit, â‚¬Å“Reno 911!;â‚¬Â and cult favorite comedy show/series, Stella. The projects the members of The State have written, directed or performed in leave no degree of separation between them and nearly everyone working in comedy today, such as Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Amy Poehler and Natasha Leggero. The book features rare photos and illustrations from the troupeâ‚¬s twenty-five-year history. Andy Samberg said, â‚¬Å“The State was the first time Iâ‚¬d ever seen â‚¬Ëœsarcastic sarcasm.â‚¬ They are the all-time champions of bum-out humor. They embodied the lameness of the lamest people and celebrated them for our enjoyment. Every time a comic does an intentionally lame joke and it makes you go, â‚¬ËœEwww,â‚¬ with delight, you have them to thank.â‚¬Â â‚¬Å“The Union of The Stateâ‚¬Â appeals not only to The Stateâ‚¬s extensive fan base but also to comedy aficionados, showbiz biography fans and those who love an underdog success tale.
