SynopsisI tell ya, nothin' goes right.Last week I found a guy's wallet ... Inside was a picture of my two kids. Anybody can repeat a Rodney Dangerfield joke, but nobody can tell one like the man himself. That's because his humor, built on the premise that he "don't get no respect," is drawn from a life so hard that the only way to survive was to laugh at it -- though all the drugs and hookers certainly didn't hurt. In It's Not Easy Bein' Me, Dangerfield comes clean (even if he still works blue) about his brutal life and the unlikely triumph he made out of it. His father was in vaudeville, and his mother was from hell, which is why a young Jack Roy grabbed a mike and got up on a stage straight out of high school. He was looking for laughs, some approval ... and a few easy women. He struggled for years, getting by but never getting over, playing dives and opening for strippers, hypnotists, and snake charmers.Then at thirty, Dangerfield walked away from all that glamour. He quit show business, got a "real" job -- as an aluminum-siding salesman -- and started raising a family in Englewood, New Jersey. He was out of comedy for twelve unhappy years, but all the while he was writing jokes, scheming, and dreaming of his comeback. Eventually, he changed his act, changed his name, and changed American comedy forever. He developed one of the most popular characters in all of show business -- the poor schnook who gets no respect. Not from his parents, his wife, his kids, not even from his physician, Dr. Vinnie Boombatz. But his millions of fans not only respected him, they loved him, reciting dozens of his jokes from memory and quoting chapter and verse from Caddyshack, the movie that made Dangerfield into a comedic superstar. Today, Dangerfield stands as a true pillar of American comedy (though at eighty-two, he says, he's crumbling a little) and after the life he's led, it's amazing he's standing at all. Wild, hip, and hilarious, It's Not Easy Being Me is like having a front-row seat to the ultimate Rodney Dangerfield performance, where the jokes come at a hundred miles an hour and the outrageous stories go on forever., I tell ya, nothin' goes right.Last week I found a guy's wallet ...

The King of Comedy
Not only was Rodney's book informative, giving us a great look into his background and hardships of growing up, it was full of funny stories and one-liners. I thoroughly enjoy reading about this interesting man. His stories were uplifting and fully of surprises. I ended up buying two more for friends who needed a good laugh!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Rodney writes
Great insight into the mind of one of America's most beloved comedians. From his early years it's easy to see where the "No Respect" mantra came from. Each page continues several of his best remembered jokes but an easy read and a few laughs along the wayBestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
