Tales of a Cuban Television Revolutionary

On my first day in the television comedy business, I learned two important lessons. The first was that there really was a rule about words with the hard "k" sound. In Neil Simon's brilliant play about two aging comedy stars, The Sunshine Boys, they both insist that "k" words are funny. And it turned out my bosses and coworkers on the writing staff of the long-running hit sitcom, Cheers, agreed. Always pick the "k" word, I was told.
