Today I talk with Chris Wineland, the author of “The Great Heckle.” Chris popped on my radar when her performed on the Huckabee show in Nashville.

He’s a busy guy. He has written for Emmy Nominated “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” Pursuing his love of late night comedy, Chris co-created the acclaimed Christian late night show “Next Week with Jeff Durbin.”Most recently, Chris can be heard on the #1 weekend radio show to 6 million listeners on “The Kim Komando Show.”

We cover more than just the book in the interview, way more.
