HAMPTON ROADS, Va. — You may have seen the new book "Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True Story of 'Airplane!'" in the headlines recently. The book, from David Zucker, Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams, follows the making of the 1980 spoof-comedy classic—and was assembled using interviews conducted by veteran pop culture writer Will Harris.
Harris happens to be based in Hampton Roads, living in Chesapeake with his wife and daughter. He joins Coast Live to discuss his career, some footnotes from his favorite interviews, and how he came to be a key component of a book about one of the most influential comedies ever put to film.
Will Harris has written for various publications over the years. To keep up with his work, follow him at WillHarris.substack.com.
Harris will be signing copies of "Surely You Can't Be Serious: The True Story of 'Airplane!'" at a book signing event at Barnes & Noble in the Pembroke area of Virginia Beach on November 11.
