Jerry Zezima Celebrates 40 Years of His Syndicated Humor Column!
This marks the 40th anniversary of my syndicated humor column, which is distributed to 600 newspapers nationwide and abroad by Tribune News Service. I began writing my column in 1985 at my hometown paper, the Stamford (Conn.) Advocate, which still runs it. I write humor because I am spectacularly unqualified to do anything else. And, after 40 years, because no one has stopped me.
If you have ever wondered why the newspaper industry is in trouble, it would be because of me.
I was president of the NSNC from 2014 to 2016 (I think beer was consumed during the voting) and I have won nine awards for humorous writing from the NSNC (ditto).
I also am the author of seven books, all of which are crimes against literature.
I live on Long Island, N.Y. I have one wife, two daughters, five grandchildren and many creditors. I have no interesting hobbies.
My latest book is “The Good Humor Man: Tales of Life, Laughter and, for Dessert, Ice Cream.” Connect with me online at: http://www.jerryzezima.blogspot.com.
