The intimate, hilarious, and wholly unexpected memoir of the legendary comedian Don Rickles, told with great humor, outrageous anecdotes, and unusual candor.

He shares anecdotes about his early days in nightclubs, his big breaks on television, and his long-standing friendships with Hollywood legends like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Johnny Carson, and Bob Newhart. Beyond the comedy, Rickles reflects on his marriage, family, and the values that kept him grounded through decades in show business.
