Mike Lukas: How I Went Bald While Jason Sudeikis Got Famous

From Television Times with Steve Otis Gunn Jilted Maggot

Mike Lukas was once Jason Sudeikis's roommate at Second City, happened to be performing in Las Vegas on 9/11, and has since written books about the mechanics of comedy and appeared on The Tonight Show, not necessarily in that order.

Mike Lukas is an American stand-up comedian known for his dynamic performances and appearances on The Tonight Show and Conan, and for his Funny Muscle books, which offer a behind-the-scenes look at the craft and mechanics of comedy.

The Second City pranks with then-roommate Jason Sudeikis — and the diverging trajectories that followed
Why watching someone else's version of success up close is one of the most clarifying experiences available
