From Comedy Central to Court TV to Published Author: The Journey of Art Bell

This week on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, host & producer George Sirois is proud to sit down and have a chat with a man who was a crucial element added to the entertainment industry. In the late 1980s, Art Bell took a chance on an idea: to create a channel based purely on comedy. That idea became a reality for him when he founded The Comedy Channel, which would eventually be renamed Comedy Central. And once this cable channel started producing hits like South Park, Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, The Daily Show, and more, Art moved on to Court TV to serve as its President, and then moved on to writing his own memoir about running Comedy Central, and NOW is an author of modern-day noir thrillers such as "What She's Hiding."

Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.
