The general take
Jason Calacanis recently finished Comedy Samurai by Larry Charles and seems impressed by the connection to Charles's work directing major Sacha Baron Cohen films like Borat and Bruno. Beyond acknowledging Charles's track record in comedy, there's not much detail given on what Calacanis actually thought of the book itself.

“Comedy Samurai by Larry Charles I just finished a couple weeks ago. And that was the guy who did Borat. And what was the gay character that Sacha Baron Cohen did? Bruno.”
