No Comments on Ep. #1058: Paul Myers on ‘John Candy: A Life in Comedy’

Paul Myers is here to discuss his new book, John Candy: A Life in Comedy, how the actor and producer Ryan Reynolds helped him get from a Boston event about the documentary, John Candy: I Like Me, to an Edmonton book event within 24 hours and in style, the fortuitous connection between the documentary and the book, which were made independent of one another but released around the same time, a Myers family member’s pivotal interaction with John Candy and why Paul decided to write this book, the remarkable array of people he interviewed, including Catherine O’Hara, Joe Flaherty, Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, what he learned about Candy’s sensitivity to body shaming and other emotional hardships, the Record Store Day Podcast, future plans, and much more.
