Indeed.
From a story in the Hollywood Reporter...
Comedy Central is taking its brand to bookstores.
The network is launching a publishing imprint with Running Press (part of the Perseus Books Group) with plans to release everything from memoirs to joke and novelty books. The first title from Comedy Central Books will be a holiday themed novelty book from actor-comedian Denis Leary. It’s set to roll out in October with a multiplatform marketing push highlighted by a new Leary-headlined comedy special on the network that will be reminiscent of 2005's Merry F#%$in' Christmas.
“I am truly delighted to be in business with Running Press and deliver a funny Christmas book based on a special I did for Comedy Central seven-and-a-half years ago,” says the Boston native and star and creator of FX’s recently wrapped firefighter drama Rescue Me. “Sorry for the delay, but I was a tad busy with Rescue Me, two teenaged kids, two Red Sox World Series victories, the 17th Boston Celtic NBA championship, the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup and online porn. Mostly the porn.”
