A collection of anecdotes from the 93 year old producer of Laugh-In, Real People, and numerous awards and variety shows. They read as if they were told directly by your ribald, sexist, egotistical grandfather, with countless rimshots and constant name-dropping. I wish there were more pages devoted to Laugh-In, the 1960s hippy culture comedy TV show (where Goldie Hawn, Lily Tomlin and others got their start), and fewer about Schlatter's relationship with Mafia buddy Frank Sinatra, but overall it was a quick, entertaining memoir. YMMV if you are easily offended by 225 pages of politically incorrect schtick.
