For over thirty years, writer, producer and director Nell Scovell has worked behind the scenes on some of TV’s most iconic shows, including The Simpsons, Late Night with David Letterman, Murphy Brown, Monk, NCIS and The Muppets. She was the creator and showrunner of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and later teamed up with Sheryl Sandberg on her blockbuster book Lean In, which resulted in a worldwide movement.
In JUST THE FUNNY PARTS: … And a Few Hard Truths About Sneaking into the Hollywood Boys’ Club (March 20, 2018; Dey Street Books), Scovell dives deep into her favorite things—comedy, writing and equality—in a timely and relevant book. Readers will find lots of insider information about the making of pop culture and working with celebrities such as Mark Harmon, Alyssa Milano, The Smothers Brothers, Bob Newhart, and Conan O’Brien, among many others.
