Episode description

Two guests join the Famous Friday Show on The Tim DeMoss Show today!

Pastor Ron Smedley, executive director of Mission Recovery, discusses Recovery Sunday, a day dedicated in church to serve those who suffer from addiction. Recovery Sunday is this Sunday, September 27th, and will focus on a Christ-centered recovery program for addicts and their families. You can register your church here for the 3rd annual Recovery Sunday: https://www.recoverysunday.com/events-1/recovery-sunday-2020/form

And creator of HBO’s The Comedy Channel, which went on to become Comedy Central, Art Bell joins the show. Bell discusses his new memoir, Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor. Constant Comedy takes readers behind the scenes into the comedy startup that became one of the most successful and creative purveyors of popular culture in the United States. From disastrous pitch meetings with comedians to the discovery of talents like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, this intimate biography peers behind the curtain and reveals what it’s really like to work, struggle, and ultimately succeed at the cutting edge of show business. 

And of course, Tim caps off the show with the famous “Now THAT’S Punny!” segment.

Make sure to tune in live weekdays 4-5pm ET on AM 560 WFIL!
