Jack Handey es un Humorista Americano nacido en San Antonio, Texas. Es muy conocido por su obra Deep
Thoughts by Jack Handey una serie de bromas surrealistas breves como tambin por sus obras Fuzzy
Memories" y "My Big Thick Novel. Aunque mucha gente crea lo contrario, Handey es una persona real, no un
seudnimo o caracterizacin.
Sus primeros aos:
Handey naci en San Antonio, Texas, en 1949. Su familia se mud a El Paso, Texas, donde Handey asisti al
secundario Eastwood High School (donde fue editor de Sabre, el peridico escolar) y la Universidad de Texas
de El Paso.
En sus primeros trabajos, Handey escribi para el peridico San Antonio Express-News. He lost the job, in his
words, after writing "an article that offended local car dealerships". Su incursin en las escrituras humorsticas
fue con el comediante Steve Martin. En conjunto con Martin, Handey comenz a trabajar escribiendo para
Saturday Night Live after Martin introduced Handey to the show's creator, Lorne Michaels.[4] Por several
aos Handey trabaj en otros proyectos de televisin: La serie canadiense Bizarre en 1980; el especial de TV
Steve Martin 1980: Comedy Is Not Pretty; Y Lorne Michaels' short-lived sketch show en NBC llamado The New
Show en 1984. Handey regres a Saturday Night Live en 1985 como escritor y co-productor.
Sus famosos Pensamientos Profundos:
En abril de 1984, National Lampoon publico la primera obra de Jack Handey Deep Thoughts. Additional Deep
Thoughts appeared in the October and November 1984 editions as well as in the short-lived comedy magazine
Army Man, while more appeared in 1988 in The New Mexican. The one-liners were to become Handey's
signature work, destacado por su humor conciso y sus outlandish situaciones hipotticas. Por ejemplo:
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the
time, for no good reason.[5]
The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw.[6][7]
Handey's work next showed up in the Michael Nesmith produced TV series Television Parts, in the format
which would later become famous on Saturday Night Live (though in Television Parts, Nesmith provided the
Jack Handey 2

narration). Some of these bits appeared in the compilation video of that program, Doctor Duck's Super Secret
All-Purpose Sauce.
Entre 1991 y 1998, Saturday Night Live incluyo Deep Thoughts en el show como un segmento incluido entre los
sketch. Introducido por Phil Hartman y ledos en vivo por Handey (neither actually appeared on screen), the
one-liners proved to be extremely popular. Hartman would intone "And now, Deep Thoughts, by Jack
Handey...", and peaceful easy listening music would play while the screen showed soothing pastoral scenes,
much like a New Age relaxation video. Handey would then read the Deep Thought as the text to it scrolled
across the screen. They became an enduring feature of SNL, which often had multiple Thoughts in each
episode, and made Handey a well-known name.
Other SNL work
Other Handey pieces that appeared on SNL included Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer,[8] "Fuzzy Memories" which
depicted reenactments of a twisted childhood memory and aired in the late 1990s, and the short-lived "My Big
Thick Novel", which were spoken excerpts from a very long book in the style of "Deep Thoughts" and which
aired during the 200103 seasons of SNL.
Handey is also credited with creating Toonces, the cat who could drive a car, although badly ("See, I told you
he could drive! Just not very well!").[9] The recurring skit originated in 1989 with Steve Martin and Victoria
Jackson as the crash-prone kitty's owners. In 1992 NBC aired a half-hour Toonces special. Handey, who owned
a real cat by the same name, once said he couldn't remember exactly how he dreamed up the premise. He
said, "It was just one of those free association ideas you write down and look at later and think, 'Maybe.'"
Vida actual:
Jack Handey, al 2014, vive con su esposa, Marta Chvez Handey en Santa Fe, Nuevo Mxico.
Anteriormente la pareja vivi en Chelsea, un barrio de Manhattan en la ciudad de New York.

Several short humor pieces of his have appeared in The New Yorker's "Shouts & Murmurs" seccin: "What I'd
Say to the Martians," in the issue of August 8 & 15, 2005; "This Is No Game," in the issue of January 9, 2006;

"How I Want To Be Remembered," in the issue of March 31, 2008,[14] "The Symbols on My Flag (And What
They Mean)" in the issue of May 19, 2008 and "The Plan" in the issue of November 24, 2008.[15] Handey has

A principios de abril del 2008, Handey public su primera coleccin de piezas revistas de humor What I'd Say
to the Martians and Other Veiled Threats. Un ejemplo de sus Pensamientos profundos ( Deep contained
therein is: "I'd like to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather....not screaming in terror like the
passengers on his bus" (attributed elsewhere to British comedian Bob Monkhouse). The Associated Press critic
Jake Coyle wrote, "With absurdist musings such as these, Handey has established himself as the strangest of
birds: a famous comedian whose platform is not the stage or screen, but the page."[16]
After four quiet years, Handey's piece "Alexander the Great" appeared in the March 12, 2012 issue of the New
Yorker.[17] It was followed by "Guards Complaints About Spartacus" July 22, 2013, "Luau" October 21, 2013
and "Tales of Old Santa Fe" July 7, 2014. [18]
El 16 de julio 2013 fue lanzada la primera novela de Handey, The Stench of Honolulu.
