It’s not that he hates his friends and family — he’s not a monster — he’s just beat, which is why his son’s (ruthless) first full sentence, “I’d like to play alone, please,” has since become his mantra.

Publisher's summary
A candid and irreverent look at the ridiculous ways we all try to make ourselves look better online—from a popular standup and internet comedian whose videos have been viewed over one billion times.
“John is one of my top-three all-time favorite comedians, next to me and Foxworthy. Buy this book—you’ll be glad you did.”—Larry the Cable Guy
John Crist wasn’t always recognizable as “the guy from that hilarious video in the grocery store.” Growing up part of a homeschool family of ten in rural Georgia with Mennonite grandparents and a high-school job at Chick-fil-A, he was an unlikely candidate for internet fame. Despite all that, or perhaps because of it, Crist passionately pursued his dream of stand-up comedy.
In his first book, Crist offers heartfelt, laugh-out-loud observations on the absurd ways we all try to make ourselves look better online: like how we all post filtered pictures of our super healthy kale salads but somehow neglect to post about our 1 A.M. Uber Eats Big Mac. Or how quick we all are to post our “I Voted” sticker pictures but fail to post about the ways we vote with our dollars every day in ways that don’t align with our loudly and publicly espoused values.
With self-deprecating wit, Crist chronicles his meteoric rise as an online and stand-up comedian, but he doesn’t gloss over the ways his own life choices did not align with his online image—a gap between perception and reality that eventually led to a stint in rehab.
In Delete That, Crist takes responsibility for his actions, offers some reflections on how to do better, and encourages us all to stop capitulating to the fear of “But what will they think?!” Instead, this book offers a bold invitation to stop curating life and start living it . . . one Nickelback concert at a time.
Critic reviews
“If this book is like everything else John does, it’ll be a bestseller, which irritates me because he’s good-looking, funny, and clever. It’s like he went to the comic buffet and took everything. ‘Hey, John, take one item and move on!’ He’s one of my top-three all-time favorite comedians, next to me and Foxworthy. Buy this book—you’ll be glad you did. Then check out my website for all my tour dates.”—Larry the Cable Guy
“One of the more important interviews I’ve conducted was with John Crist. He’s absolutely hilarious, one of the funniest people I’ve ever met!”—Marty Smith, ESPN host and reporter
“What I saw in you is authenticity and that fascinated me.”—Bert Kreischer

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.

Let’s face it: we all want a seat at the cool table, a great job, and loads of money. But most of us won’t be able to achieve this widely accepted, black-or-white, definition of winning, which makes us feel like failures, that we’re destined to a life of loserdom. That’s the conventional wisdom. It’s also crap, according to comedian and cult hero Chris Gethard, who knows a thing of two about losing. Failing is an art form, he argues; in fact, it’s the only the way we’re ever going to discover who we are, what we really want, and how to live the kind of life we only dreamed about.

Story
Let’s face it: we all want a seat at the cool table, a great job, and loads of money. But most of us won’t be able to achieve this widely accepted, black-or-white, definition of winning, which makes us feel like failures, that we’re destined to a life of loserdom. That’s the conventional wisdom. It’s also crap, according to comedian and cult hero Chris Gethard, who knows a thing of two about losing. Failing is an art form, he argues; in fact, it’s the only the way we’re ever going to discover who we are, what we really want, and how to live the kind of life we only dreamed about.

Funny and encouraging
If you’re a fan of John Crist, you know how absolutely hilarious he is. This book is full of laughs but also pulls back the curtain to show who he really is - someone flawed and totally relatable. I can’t recommend this book enough!

Been a fan for years- great story
Been a big fan since one of the first viral videos! Love his honesty in his story and listening to it is like a super long podcast. Great listen for anyone, particularly a Christian who has been through some heavy “battle with the self” challenges themselves. Congrats John!

Thankful for transparency
This book was so refreshing. Hearing the vulnerable and transparent parts of his life was so encouraging. Growing up in a Christian household this was relatable, and yet now as a mom of 3 boys, I was thankful that he wasn’t critical of all that a Christian household can (or should) be.
It has made me think of how I am supposed to be more gracious as well as a human…let alone as a Christian. Thanks John for sharing your heart and experiences with us.

Real
Authentic, funny, and even a little gritty. It's good to hear him doing so well, and I think this is a must listen if you've ever had to recover from a mistake

Honest and real
John brings such a humble and helpful tone. He also makes you laugh and check yourself. I’ve been a fan but now I appreciate John so much more!!

Humbled
I thought John had captured my attention with just his humor, but after this book, I see that there was a message from God on his story & I had to see it in depth. He's captured my attention & respect for who he is & he continues to fight through it all. I saw I am not alone in many of my struggles. The fight is real, but so is our God who is commanding this fight.

This book nails the value of being real
This is a must listen for anyone who is living apart from who they want to be - for whatever reason. If you have been there, like John has (and I have), you will relate to his story. And if you're in the middle of the shame of living a lie, you must listen to realize the freedom of exposing the lie and realizing you're still loved anyway. I'm so glad I listened to John's story of his experience. And I'm so glad he's come through it all with a better sense of self worth.

Like a long Ted Talk with John
I enjoyed this book very much. I appreciated all of the honesty and while I cannot relate to those particular addictions, I found it so related. It helped me to realize I also struggle with seeking live and approval even through church. I particularly found it profound when his therapist banned him from church when they found out how he was getting his mental high from attention. Very interesting story overall. I’m glad John is doing well! He has always brought laughter and happiness into my life and he deserves happiness too.
