Popular Highlights in this book
What are Popular Highlights?

  1. Any promotion or opportunity you get in life comes with increased exposure and increased criticism. The more people want your job, the more shit you’re gonna get for not doing it well.
    Highlighted by 593 Kindle readers
  2. No one in comedy (or any field, really) succeeds in a vacuum. And the faster you find friends who challenge you and sometimes make you jealous, the faster you’ll grow as a comedian (and regress as a human).
    Highlighted by 567 Kindle readers
  3. Lorne always says, “You never want to be the smartest person in the room,” because you always want to challenge yourself and try to get to the level of the people you admire.
    Highlighted by 446 Kindle readers
  4. “You need to say what you’re thinking a lot more and not be afraid of being judged or being inarticulate or offensive or even boring.”

From the Publisher

"Colin Jost is one of the best people I know and one hell of a writer." - Seth Meyers

"Colin Jost is as funny as his face is punchable. Which is to say: very." - Zadie Smith

I always wanted to punch his face before I read this book... - Larry David

Product description

Review

“Colin Jost is as funny as his face is punchable. Which is to say: very. He also knows a lot about Staten Island, soiling himself, internal parasites, and firemen’s pensions. He’s really the whole package. And if you care about comedy—writing it, performing it, watching it, or giving up any semblance of a normal adult life for it—so is his book.”—Zadie Smith
 
“Colin Jost is one of the best people I know and one hell of a writer. This book proves both to be true.”—Seth Meyers

“I was caught off guard by how much I enjoyed this book, considering how indifferent I feel about Colin as a person.”—Amy Schumer

“An inspiring story that reminds us that if you are born with looks and talent, you can still make it.”—Conan O’Brien

“I think this book is fantastic. I haven’t read a single word of it, but it’s got everything I want in a book—a front, a back, a good spine. And it’s got some heft. Whoever wrote this book knew what she was doing. Well done.”—Michael Che

Colin jost é engraçado, sarcástico e ousado em seu primeiro livro. Uma das pessoas mais inteligentes a passar pelo SNL, ele consegue divertir no livro com suas experiências pessoais assim como na tv.
