This wasn’t a normal autobiography about how he grew up and got into comedy. As the title suggests, he drew portraits of fellow comedians, actors, musicians, and even Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and then proceeded to write a few pages about them and how they either mentored and influenced him or was someone that he liked.
It was a quick and easy read for me, and I enjoyed reading about Robin Williams, Norm MacDonald, Chris Farley, Chris Rock, Jim Carey, Budd Freidman, Jay Leno, David Letterman, Andy Kaufman, Lorne Michaels, Steve Martin, Garry Shandling, Eli and Peyton Manning, Arnold Palmer, Billie Eillish and Tom Petty. Besides those, there are many more people in the book.
And his portraits are really good as well. I had no clue that he has this non comedic talent.
