About this listen
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER with 5+ hours of bonus material not found in the print version and read by Leslie Jones. AudioFile Magazine awarded the recording an ‘Earphones Award’, saying: “No listener can leave this memoir unaffected as Jones laughs and sobs, sharing the highs and lows, joys and sorrows of her full life.”
Hey you guys, it’s Leslie. I’m excited to share my story with you.
Now, I’m gonna be honest: Some of the details might be vague because a b*tch is fifty-five and she’s smoked a ton of weed. But while bits might be a touch hazy, I can promise you the underlying truth is REAL. Whether I’m talking about my childhood growing up in the South, my early stand-up days driving from gig to gig through the darkest parts of our country and praying I wouldn’t get murdered, what Chris Rock told Lorne Michaels, that time I wanted to shoot Whoopi Goldberg on SNL, and yeah, I’ll tell you all about Ghostbusters and the nudes and Supermarket Sweep and The Daily Show . . . I’m sharing it all here. It’s not easy being a woman in comedy, especially when you’re a tall-*ss Black woman with a trumpet voice. I have to fight so that no one takes me for granted, and no one takes advantage. These are the stories that explain why. (Cue the Law & Order theme.)

If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg.

When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

Story
Henry Winkler, launched into prominence as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you.

I always liked Leslie Jones...
... and after reading this book, I LOVE her! She's gone through so much and has kept a positive attitude with impeccable humour. I don't even know how you'd read the hard copy of this book... her laugh is infectious!

The tickle
Damn - Leslie Jones… you’re a wow. I am so glad I listened to you narrate this - never heard anything like this. You are such a star and so much real talk. Major takeaways (I.e. my funeral plans are definitely sub-par), and major tickles. Thank you SO much for gifting the world with your light. I’m devastated the book is done - I may have to listen to this again. So much love.

Sad that it’s over
This book was an absolute blast to listen to. It felt like I was right there in the room w/ Leslie for the laughter and the tears. I’ve loved Leslie since Game of Jones and continue to love anything she puts out into the world (more Daily Show pls!). Her story is an inspiration for any woman who wants to show up and be themselves in all that they do. To keep learning, growing and take care of those around you.

True American dream winner Leslie Jones is hilarious and raw telling her life story.
Great grown ass woman advice for life.
Now I feel like I have to read the paper book to see how much more she added in the audiobook version.
