Tim Sample is a Maine native whose unique style of New England humor has gained him a national following. Good Morning America host Charles Gibson referred Sample as, The man who wrote the book-literally, on Maine humor! Legendary CBS newsman Charles Kuralt called Sample Maines Humorist Laureate. Describing Tim Samples work as humor rather than comedy is, according to bestselling novelist Stephen King a very important distinction: Hes a funny guy, youll get no argument from me on that score, but no more a comedian than Mark Twain or Artemis Ward. Like, them, Timmy (thats what I always call him the way folks from up our way are apt to call their friends dearie) isnt acting; hes just talking in a kind of heightened and gifted way, as folks do when theyre passing on valuable tales about the human condition.
