Tom Papa, the comedian, author and self-described people person, tells Salon about the inspiration behind his latest book, "We're All In This Together…So Make Some Room." The comedian shared how his experiences doing stand-up around America sparked his idea to write about why we're all more connected than we think. Papa shares why he makes a point of telling his audiences that they're "doing great," what it's like being a girl dad and why this is a remarkable moment for comedy within greater pop culture. "Comedy's become so big now, and in the absence of real adults in news, comedians are seen as the grownups for some reason," he said.
