Jay Mohr

I sat down last night to read this for a few minutes and ended up reading the whole thing. I honestly could not put it down. I bought this because I enjoyed "Live from New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live" and I'm also a fan of Jay Mohr. It has a feel similar to "Live from New York" but from a perspective not really looked at in that book where almost all the participants were big stars on the show. Mohr's time on SNL was about continuing failure. It's a story of survival, show more not success. It's incredibly compelling and even though there isn't really a happy ending to the book if you follow Mohr's extensive carer you know he did win in the end. show less

Not quite as funny as I expected, but touching and still a good read. I'm not a parent, but really enjoyed Jay's musings on being a dad and observations on his childhood versus that of his son and other kids today. I will be passing this on to friends who recently became parents.

I've never been a big fan of Jay Mohr until I read this book it is so very funny! His adoration for his son just shines through while the humor never lets up. I was reading parts out loud to my family when I could stop laughing.

I've been positively disposed toward Jay Mohr since the brilliant-but-cancelled Action, and I like SNL, so I was hoping to like this book. But alas. Mohr turns out to be kind of a schmuck, and the book pretty much lacks any point whatsoever. Well, except that of getting a publisher to pay him for it. In that one respect, well done, Jay.
