Since his first performance at the legendary New York nightclub “Catch a Rising Star” as a 21-year-old college student in fall of 1975, Jerry Seinfeld has written his own material and saved everything. “Whenever I came up with a funny bit, whether it happened on a stage, in a conversation, or working it out on my preferred canvas, the big yellow legal pad, I kept it in one of those old school accordion folders,” Seinfeld writes. “So I have everything I thought was worth saving from 45 years of hacking away at this for all I was worth.”

The New York Times best-selling biography of an American comedy legend. After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

One Funny Guy
Bob Newhart was just a few years before my time, but I did have exposure to the Newhart shows and his comedy routines recently, and he's become one of my favorite all-time comedians. In this, his audiobiography, he is a little older, and isn't as energetic as he used to be, but he's still as witty and enjoyable as ever. It's a refreshing look at a good man and a good humorist.

You must listen to this.
I am so glad Newhart read this himself. Who else could tell a Newhart story? And what an inspiring and funny life story? He could have quit many times but kept plugging away and found his place. America is so blessed that he did not stay with his accounting career. And his last chapter is so correct - we need to be able to laugh at ourselves and not be so PC!

A truly wonderful and beautiful being.
Bob (George) deserves the highest honor and respect that we as people so lucky to have shared parts of our time on Earth together can give him. If only everyone in the world had the love respect and humility in their hearts that this man has...
I was genuinely moved to tears by the last chapter. It put a little more hope in my soul than was there before... and I am unreasonably optimistic. Thank you Mr. Newhart. Thank you.

Disappointed.
I grew up enjoying Bob Newhart's tv shows and was really looking forward to this book. Unfortunately, it lacked the punch I was expecting. Many of the chapters just ended without a real conclusion to the story he had been telling. I'm not sorry that I read the book.I was just expecting more.

Great Listen
Would you consider the audio edition of I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This! to be better than the print version?
Yes! Largely due to that fact that you get to hear Bob read it and deliver the comic bits.
What did you like best about this story?
I'm a Newhart fan so it's great to hear him sharing in his on voice.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was laughing at the bits he re-creates.
Any additional comments?
Highly recommend!
