I Know I am but What are You submitted by emjane on July 14, 2012, 8:39pm Bee’s humor smoothly transitioned from the Daily Show stage to the pages of her book. As she told of her unconventional childhood and her strange personality quirks, I couldn’t help laughing out loud, even though the circumstances she described would come across as sad when told by anyone else. And Bee is the queen of one-liners. (I don’t mean to be making an insect-bee pun…really).

But I Know I Am, But What Are You is more than just jokes. The book wouldn’t have been so good if it weren’t for the intriguing subject matter. Bee has had a pretty crazy life. And lucky for us, she’s willing to share. Plus, the book ended shortly after Bee met Jason Jones (her husband and Daily Show co-correspondent), which leads me to believe more of these memoirs are in store. After all, she has to talk about her Daily Show time, right? I mean, I can only hope.

Entertaining submitted by Zekicmom on August 8, 2014, 1:26pm I enjoyed Samantha Bee's book. She has a much better sense of humor about her life than I would have. Somehow even when discussing sexual situations and using the "f" word with great regularity, it doesn't feel like she's doing it for shock value. Everything is presented very mater-of-factually. An amusing, quick read.
