It will be released in print, Kindle, and ebook formats on Tuesday, May 3, 2016. "The members of The State are my heroes, my peers and my friends. Individually and collectively they are responsible for an impressively large percentage of everything funny that currently exists in the world. For comedy nerds like me, it's essential reading." -- "Weird Al" Yankovic The book, "The Union of The State," is an oral history of the acclaimed troupe's creation, dissolution, reinvention and reunion, told by all members of the group: Kevin Allison Michael Ian Black Robert Ben Garant Todd Holoubek Michael Patrick Jann Kerri Kenney-Silver Thomas Lennon Joe Lo Truglio Ken Marino Michael Showalter David Wain "I have to tip my cap to "The State" because when I was in graduate school, they were what I watched. They were the thing." -- Keegan-Michael Key The book follows the members of The State from their time as classmates at New York University in the late 1980s to their quick ascent to fame via their three-season, sketch-comedy TV series on MTV and through their post-MTV projects. It also includes histories of the movie-turned-Netflix-series, "Wet Hot American Summer;" the Comedy Central hit, "Reno 911!;" and cult favorite comedy show/series, Stella. The projects the members of The State have written, directed or performed in leave no degree of separation between them and nearly everyone working in comedy today, such as Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Amy Poehler and Natasha Leggero. The book features rare photos and illustrations from the troupe's twenty-five-year history. "The Union of The State" appeals not only to The State's extensive fan base but also to comedy aficionados, showbiz biography fans and those who love an underdog success tale.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The members of The State are my heroes, my peers and my friends. Individually and collectively they are responsible for an impressively large percentage of everything funny that currently exists in the world. For comedy nerds like me, it's essential reading." - "Weird Al" Yankovic "For fans of the 1990s comedy troupe and MTV series, "The State," a soon-to-be-released book will answer all the questions you've ever had about how the members met, how they got into comedy, and the progression of their time together - and apart." - The Telegraph "Such a great book for huge fans of The State! Really goes in depth to the origins, highs and lows, and detailed accounts of some of the major projects The State members have been involved in. It's great to hear accounts straight from the cast, especially interesting when their memories tend to differ. A must-read for any contemporary comedy fan. Well done and informative." - NetGalley<br>
