You Should Be Reading This Book
Books - One of the most important things anyone pursuing a career as a comedy performer or writer needs to know: Am I funny? My affirmation came after sending countless writing samples to anyone in show business or anyone who could spell “show business.” Amidst a constant stream of rejection letters came a short handwritten note from Bob Newhart. He liked my work. He thought it was original. He wished me the best.
Does Mr. Newhart’s act of generosity, for which I will always be grateful, allow me to evaluate his new book, “I Shouldn’t Even Be Doing This” with absolute objectivity? Probably not, but his book can best be appreciated by readers who think Bob Newhart is a very funny man, and I am one of those.
