Scott Dikkers talks about being funny and finding a way to make a living at it.

Scott Dikkers is a founding editor of The Onion and served as The Onion's owner and editor-in-chief (on and off) for most of the last quarter-century. We discuss Scott's origins as a cartoonist and his hit strip, Jim's Journal, and how that led him to The Onion. After a year at The Onion Scott, with two partners, purchased and took over The Onion. Scott discusses growing the newspaper to the comedy institution we know and love today.

Join Scott Dikkers and me for a deep dive into everything you ever wanted to know about The Onion.
