Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show and one of today's most hilarious comedians and insightful social critics, has penned a funny and poignant collection of autobiographical essays, recounting how she fought to find her own voice, both as a comedian and as a woman, and how humor became her most powerful weapon in confronting life's challenges.
Funny, biting, and honest, this no-holds-barred collection gives an in-depth look into the life of one of today's most influential comic voices. In writing about her childhood longing to be a priest, her roles in developing The Daily Show and launching the careers of Stephen Colbert and Rachel Maddow, and of her often problematic habit of diving into everything headfirst, asking questions later (resulting in multiple rescue-dog adoptions and travel disasters), Lizz Winstead has tapped an outrageous and heartfelt vein of the all-too-human comedy.
