A fanastic read

I'll preface my review by saying that I don't actually find Jay Mohr's stand up all that funny and that's something that was kind of nagging at me while I was reading the book. The book itself is completely enthralling and I couldn't put it down. It is very well written with a ton of great, hilarious stories and its pacing is perfect. Even people who aren't hardcore fans of the show will love it.

Of course the book tells stories of the inner workings of SNL, but the book itself is 3 stories: Jay's dealing with, and treatment of a panic disorder, hilarious stories of things he witnessed and played a part of, him getting totally screwed during his tenure. It's a fantastic book.

good read

Mohr is candid and belly up about his experience with SNL - he 'talks' to the reader as if he is pouring it out to his shrink or a friend - honest storytelling and very compelling.

Jay Mohr is funny.

Good read, very insightful and revealing. Wait, are not those the same things! I'm a moron! Fruuuuuuuuuuuuunkis! Jay is hilarious on O&A and on Ron & Fez.
