Varför hörs någon vråla SÅÅÅ HÄÄÄR HAAAR INTEEE MARIIIAAAANNE FREDRIKSSOOON DEEEEEET i det lilla vita huset i Bromma? Hur kommer det sig att Björn Skifs har blivit yngre än Martina Haag? Och varför ser hon ut som en smurf i pösbyxor? Och vad gör hon egentligen, instängd i en hiss med Viggo Mortensen på en lyxig björnfäll? Varför piper, mjauar och brölar det ur frysen i källaren? Och kommer verkligen Hans Blix att kunna reda ut bråken hemma hos familjen Haag?

Hemma hos Martina handlar om hur Martina försöker få livet att gå ihop med tre barn, en miljard katter och Sveriges stökigaste man som bara snor ens strumpor hela tiden och en skådespelarkarriär vars höjdpunkter mest verkar bestå av provfilmningar för finskt diskmedel. Den handlar också om hur man försöker överleva trots att man lider av en ofantlig brist på glamour när man är gravid i tionde månaden och ser ut som Lennart Swahn (fast med hårspännen).

Ten years ago, when Chris Duffy was an exhausted fifth grade teacher, he taught the funniest person he's ever met: 11-year-old Gary C.

These days, Duffy is a comedian and the host of a podcast with millions of listeners, but he's never forgotten the joy of laughing with Gary during that bleak Boston winter. Gary taught him that a life without a sense of humor isn't much of a life at all.

By the spring of 1954, Sid Caesar was the most influential, highly paid, and enigmatic comedian in America.

Onstage, Caesar could play any character and make it funny: a befuddled game-show contestant, a pretentious expert, a beleaguered husband (opposite his redoubtable co-star Imogene Coca), even a gumball machine and a bottle of seltzer.

'At 28 years old, I found myself living at home, with my 73-year-old father. As a child, my father never minced words, and when I screwed up, he had a way of cutting right through the bullshit and pointing out exactly why I was being an idiot. When I moved back in I was still, for the most part, an idiot. But this time, I was smart enough to write down all the things he said to me…'
