But his own story is just as outrageous, awkward, and surprisingly touching as the shows he built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this memoir on his life and career in comedy, Lorre trades the dialogue for real talk: the career flops that nearly ended him, his self-loathing and accidental career, the messy, very human truth behind Hollywood’s glossy façade, addiction, his own and that of his famous colleagues, failed marriages and good parenting wins, and how making people laugh never gets old. One chapter may leave you doubled over, the next might sneak in a lump in your throat — but that’s Chuck. That’s sitcoms. That’s also real life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you’ve ever binged \u003ci\u003eThe Big Bang Theory\u003c\/i\u003e, argued over your favorite \u003ci\u003eTwo and a Half Men\u003c\/i\u003echaracter, or wondered how TV comedy gets made, this is your all-access pass. Spoiler: it involves failure, persistence, and low self-esteem... and a good ear for laughs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dey Street Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48588041355493,"sku":"NP9780063569867","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/sitcom-a-memoir-isbn-9780063569867","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
